Re: 10 year old female beagle just diagnosed with Cushings
Thank you! Yes, I think she is beautiful too(but I'm her momma! LOL). They are from a few years back, but just plain good pictures. Thank you for the comments. This has been the first full week of maintenance for her. I did Mom.,Wed.,and Fri. She did just fine. She is still hitting the water quite a bit. A little over a gallon a day and she is eating well. Not like she is starving, but just a healthy hungry. She is not shivering like she used to. She does some, but it is not constant. She actually wanted to go for a walk yesterday so my husband took her for about 45 minutes and she did good. She was tired and slept for a good 2 hours afterwards. She only got up 3 times through the night last night, so I am hoping that each week hat will improve as well. No vomiting, no diarrhea, very little panting. I am a very grateful Mom!

It's always baby steps when it comes to cushing so hopefully you will see more improvement as time goes forward.
You're doing great!

Thank you! Just finished her 3rd week on maintenance. Will call vet by mid April to have her one month blood test and check her numbers! Sorry I was gone a while. I have limited time on my internet and ran just about to my limit last month. We are doing okay. Ginger seems so much better. A little hungrier than I had hoped, but she has gotten some energy back and is sleeping most night through with only getting up maybe once a night!
Re: 10 year old female beagle just diagnosed with Cushings
Like Sharlene says take baby steps. Celebrate all the little accomplishments as they are really gigantic as far as improvement goes. Any improvement with Cushing's is a win. Blessings
