new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

Iris:
That is a little worrisome about Ian, I wonder what is going on? Do you think it is the dry heat? Maybe he has had enough of the heat. Tipper I noticed starts to pant if the room is stuffy or if the temperature rises the least little bit. She has even less tolerance for heat this year than she had last year. I hope he is ok. It is cooler here this morning, but lots of mosquitoes are out as the grass is full of dew. Looks like two dry days in a row this is a record for this season! Tipper and I will say a prayer that Ian is ok, and give him a kiss from Tipper and me. Blessings

hi patti, ian is doing ok today.
he ate his food, but i did not give him the vetoryl today.
i will start tomorrow if he is still doing ok.
he never pants, but the hot and humid weather is not doing any good
for cush dogs.
still no rain.....
but i am glad that you had 2 dry days in a row to relax a bit!
are there more storms coming your way?
ian says thanks to tipper for the kisses and wishes her well too.
i have lots of mosquito bites too from walking through long grass along a ditch. i will avoid that place for now.
do you think those flies do bite dogs too?
never noticed anything of that kind with my dogs.
have to walk the doggies and go to bed...........
sleep well!

Hi Iris,

Sorry to hear that Ian is not feeling quite like himself, and hopefully this will not last long. Not giving him his Vetoryl was absolutely the right thing to do, Good job!!! Keep us posted, ok?

Hugs, Lori

Iris:
Good idea with no Vetoryl. You never know when they seem off what will crop up, but better safe than sorry. I am hoping you get some relief from this long hot dry spell you are having. We are to get storms tonite, and Tipper did her sleeping in the closet again last nite. She is not letting g any storm catch her off guard! I am washing bed linens today and some small stuff as it is already too hot out for the dogs here, and very sunny. I hope Ian was just having an off day as they do sometimes and that he is alright. Blessings

Hi Iris:
We woke up to none other than rain again. It is not storming though. I found a small bump on Toby's back end this morning and I am going to have to have the vet take a look at it. I hope he does not start with problems now!! It is so hot and humid with the air on it is fogging some of the windows. I hope this rain comes to you as you need it badly. How is Ian feeling today? I hope things are alright for him. It is terrible you had to have two dogs with Cushings, one is hard enough to deal with. Tipper has let me resume cutting the long hair on her feet. If I hold her paw and cut she is ok if I promise her a treat!! I am hoping to take Toby tomorrow to see Delora she is so very lonely. Hope you have a good Sunday and Tipper said to tell Ian that she thinks he is real handsome, maybe that will perk him up a bit! Blessings
Patti

hi patti and lori.
ian is doing ok considering the hot and humid weather.
i gave him the vetoryl today and he is doing fine so far.
migraine yesterday so no forum visits for me.
the dogs and i are no summer lovers.
but the weather in your area sounds a lot worse.
sorry you had to do laundry today because of tipper peeing on elvis' cover.
ian is blushing from tipper's compliment about ian's looks......
see you tomorrow......

Iris;
Too bad about the headache they are miserable especially looking at light really sets them off. I had to medicate Tipper last nite and think I got her just in time. We had really loud rumbles of thunder and she just laid in the closet. I am going to have to get more pills on Wednesday when she goes for Adequan. Cool and foggy here this morning looks like it could rain some more! I guess I should have ducks instead of dogs! I hope you feel better today and that Ian is still doing well. Funny how when a Cush dog has an off day all kinds of things go thru your mind. Blessings
Patti

hi patti, yes you will watch your cush dog like a hawk when they do have an off day.
but since ian is doing so well over all, i am not too worried when he has an off day.
he has had vetoryl for 2 days now and is doing fine.
still sticky and hot outside with 2 drops of rain....
sorry that the storms are still going on.
hope your vet will give you some more valium pills for tipper.
keeping ducks sounds interesting though...................
how is the chest pain?
i am going to bed now.
sleep well!

Hi Iris,

I'm so sorry to read that you've had a migraine. I, too, get migraines, aren't they just plain awful :mad::(

Big hugs to you and Ian, lori

Iris:
I am so glad to hear I an is still doing well. Every time Tipper does something weird I get nervous. She was acting weird yesterday like her cortisol was low, acting scared of something and going in the closet. Then panting later and drinking a lot like it was high. maybe it was going up and down? No storm last nite it passed us but we are to get tornado weather this afternoon. It must be awful with your hot sticky weather and no relief. Is it like this in the summer a lot, or is it just this summer. Our weather is really changing around for the worse. It is was so humid this morning that it was hard breathing for Tipper and me. I have to go see Delora around 11am because I must be home for this storm. Blessings
Patti
