My Pug Scoop (Precious Scoop has passed... )

Patti, I don't really know anything about it. Just what I read that they had discovered something in a lab environment and were hoping to do testing on live animals. That was 2 years ago. I was hoping to hear from the assistant and possibly learn more about what is being done but haven't heard from her yet. If I hear anything at all I will let you know. I was kind of hopeful reading about that but Scoop's vet kind of burst my bubble, again. So you talked to Dr. Bruette? Did he charge you a consultation fee? I tried emailing him but my computer wouldn't let it go through so that's why I called.

Lori, I know Dr. Bruyette's wife, Dr. Owen has performed surgery on pituitary tumors and I read she was supposed to be teaching some doctors on the east coast the procedure. I took Scoop for a consult at U. of Penn. for radiation. You would think the doctor would have mentioned the surgery if they were doing it there esp. since she wouldn't do the radiation.

This whole Cushing's thing is so frustrating.

Thank you for the condolences for my daughter's sweet girl. My daughter is heartbroken.

My son lost his Dalmation, Mugzy, a little less than 2 years ago, now my daughter's Kylie and my Scoop not being well, it's so hard.

So sorry to hear about your daughter's precious baby girl. It is so hard losing them and we all understand the pain she is feeling. Please accept our deepest condolences and let her know we care.

Oh I am so sorry to hear about little Kylie. That is young and way to early to have say goodbye to them.

Hopefully you'll hear back from Dr. Bruyette soon.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Belinda and Sharlene-Thank you. I will let my daughter know how much everyone cares.

Scoop saw the alt med vet today. She started him on enzymes. In a few days he will also be starting melatonin.

Rest peaceeefully Kylie. My condolencces.

Thank you Valerie.

Can anyone give me info on Melatonin? Scoop's supposed to start on it. I googled it and it mentioned it can interact with other medications including:diabetes medications. It said Melatonin may affect insulin levels.
Not sure if I want to start it.
Any help? Thank you.

I used it with both my dogs but they weren't diabetic. I googled it and read a couple articles just now and they said it could cause blood sugar to increase. I would consult my vet re this. I noticed that humans were starting at levels of 1 mg (a low level to be safe) and I believe most pills come in 3 mgs. My dogs took the 3 mgs and they weighed 15-18 lbs. Kim
