Hello you
Maybe it's worth discussing the theory with the vet and adjusting her doseage through storm season... It could be the medicine is affecting the way her body would usually handle the effects of a storm
Hope you are feeling a bit better today?
Big hug, kisses to Tipper the Ripper (hope she feels like that soon!)

Hi Patti
Just wanted to say thank you for all your love and support.The shock of losing Fella has lessened somewhat and I've finally been able to start reading your threads.My heart is with you and Tipper!.Its awful to worry about them so much and feel so helpless.And all we want is the very best for them and I hate that we have the added worry of trying to fig out how we can afford the treatment!Big hug to both you and Tipper and hope the storms have passed.
Love,
Patty
Hi Patty,:)
I read your post on the runny noses. I found it very interesting. Buddy has had a lot of issues with his allergies since his cortisol level dropped after starting Trilostane. He gets the runny nose, sneezing and wheezing thing. After reading about Tipper's issues, I wonder if some of Buddy's so called allergy symptoms could be Cushings related. Yes, Buddy does have many allergies, but this could be a new twist on it.
Sending a big wind your way to blow those big,bad storms away!
Many hugs to you and Tipper,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:
Hope you and Tipper had a good nite. Marcela's baby, Nina, is in the hospital...say a prayer for them this morning, 'k?
Leslie:
Tipper and I are both praying for Marcella's baby. I hope all goes well. Tipper was not well last night and she is not real great this morning either. Please read the post to Valerie and Daisy and you will see. God Bless You and Squirt, and May God Bless Marcella and her baby at this difficult time.
Patti
Mel:
Pray for Tipper she is not well today, and it is scaring me. Please read the post I made to Valerie and Daisy. GOd Bless you for all your support, I need it. Blessings

Hi Sweetie,
I know you are distraught so I'm copying your post to Valerie here on Tipper's thread so you don't have to retype this. I want to be sure everyone who is watching Tipper's story reads this post -
I have never had a vet fail to tell me if they thought what they wanted to do would be more than my baby could withstand - they always spoke up. I feel like Tipper's vet knows how very special she is to you and would tell you if they thought she couldn't take this procedure but if it will help you, ask the vet what they would do if Tipper were theirs - would they do this or not? It's so easy for us moms to see the worst in everything while the vets see something else entirely...and sometimes we have no choice but to trust their expertise and instincts. So ask what they would do in your shoes.Quote:
...The hospital wants to schedule the procedure with Tipper with another IMS. Tipper is not getting better with the drug I have been giving her for post nasal drip, so I guess that is not the answer. I am really scared now. I stupidly thought this would be the answer. I am so scared they will come back and tell me the best thing to do would be to put her down. I would be hysterical at that point. I have been crying since they called this morning, going back and forth on what to do. I am so petrified something will happen to her during this procedure. How much more of her can I really ask?? She has done everything so far like a real trooper, but this is much more involved. I am just sick inside at the thought of either more bad news or having to say goodbye to my baby girl way before I am ready to. I am torn on what to do, out of not want ing to let go of her. God Help Us Both.

Patti, learn a lesson from me - don't waste one precious second worrying about the next second. Don't lose time with Tipper that can never be reclaimed. I wasted almost a whole month with Squirt fretting over what was to come and I missed so many opportunities to just sit with her, touching her and talking to her. We can never get that month back and she doesn't have that many months left that we can afford to lose a single one. So lay a blanket in the closet floor next to Tipper and talk to her. Touch her with your loving, familiar touch. Tell her your fears, your hopes, promise her you will always do the best for her no matter the cost to you. Don't let your agony shut Tipper out like I did with Squirt. Our baby girls need us to be by their sides now more than ever. We don't have to be strong, we just have to be honest with them and with ourselves.
We are right beside you, sweetie. You are never alone.
Many hugs and gentle belly rubs,
Leslie and the gang
My dear Mel,
Yes, it's scary! :eek: I am so sorry:( I will putting my prayers into hyper-drive for you and very special baby girl.
Many hugs and much love,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:
Hi
I have been sending you positive mojo all day I just didn't get chance to tell you so cause of work
I am so sorry to read this latest development I had hoped you were onto something with the OTC stuff
It is so difficult to know which way to turn in these situations, did you manage to speak to the vet to get their input like Leslie suggested?
Please know that whatever you decide I am here for you as are all the others and we all hope for the very best outcome for your girl. Let us know when you can how you are both doing
Big hug, kisses to Tipper
Mel
