Alivia was recently diagnosed with Cushing's - Alivia has passed

Mary Beth:
Sorry to hear Max is having a time with these storms. I saw on the computer what all flooded in my beloved town of Pgh. Glad to hear you are on high ground. The humidity is a bear, and really bad for Tipper with her heart. Glad Alivia is not bothered by all this. Tipper trembles, pants big wet spots on the floor, won't drink, eat, or pee. I have tried everything and nothing helps her. I think we have a clear forecast for a few days and hope you have the same. Blessings

Happy Birthday, Mary Beth!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Mary Beth!!

Mary Beth; I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, and hope Alivia is still doing well and loving the car seat. Steelers training camp opened so I am excited about that. God Bless

Mary Beth, I hope your birthday was perfect in every way!!!!!

I haven't been here in quite awhile! Sometimes (a lot of times) it is easier to forget about the dreaded cushing's.

I am happy to report that Alivia is doing VERY well. She is 15 years and 9 months old. She is almost deaf and has a bit of arthritis. But, her eyesight is perfect and she is really not exhibiting any signs of cushing's. Well, she does drink a little more than Maxwell and she pees a little more, too. That's all, though, so I have no complaints. Her blood tests have been great and she continues to amaze her vets. In fact, she only goes to the vet's for her routine 6 month check ups!! I remember over a year ago thinking that last Christmas would probably be her last. Now, I am happily looking forward to another Christmas with my sweet girl! In fact, I have some of her Christmas gifts in bags on the dining room floor and she has been "snooping" in them! I COULD move them but she is enjoying peeking and it makes me smile to watch her! :D I know that I am very fortunate and I am enjoying every day with her.

Maxwell is 13 years and 3 months and still runs around like a puppy. :cool: He did have to go to the vet for an eye issue - his eyes weren't tearing sufficiently, so he was prescribed generic Restasis. That didn't seem to help. His eyes were really red and he hated when I put it in. I think it must have burned. Now I am just putting artificial tears (human type) in his eyes a couple times a day and he is fine with that and his eyes are no longer red. I've been putting them in Ali's big, beautiful eyes, too...just because she seems to like it!

With Thanksgiving coming up, I am very much reminded to count my blessings. I do continue to think about all of you and hope you and your babies are well.

Hello Mary Beth and a huge Happy Thanksgiving to you, Alivia and our Maxwell too.:):):):):)

MB, I remember your journey with Ali very well so I could not be happier to read the latest great update.

I am so glad you let us know as we wonder what happens to members and it so good to read positive news. Just the tonic we need.:D:D:D:D

I hope you have great plans for Thanksgiving though I just saw a teaser on the morning national news we may be in for bad weather.
Hopefully that will change.

We are good, Zoe is growing hair and her caramel colored spots are back. We are having a few issues but I think we need to lower her Vetoryl dose, LOWER it, can you imagine, rolleyes::rolleyes: Anyway that is what I have done and she already seems better.

Have the happiest of holidays Mary beth and dont stay away too long, we love hearing from you.

Mary Beth:
Glad to hear Alivia is doing so well. I have had many bumps in the road with Tipper. I am taking her tomorrow to the hospital in Pittsburgh PVSEC. Blessings

Mary Beth so good to hear from you. I'm thrilled to hear that Alivia is doing so well and Maxwell too.
We do need to hear these positive journeys sometimes too. :) So a huge, thank you! Not to mention, just great to hear from you too. :)
The holidays are such fun to look forward to when our babies are doing well. :)
Take care and don't be a stranger! :)
