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

Leslie-Thank you so much for all the links about DMSO. I will check them out.

Hi Vicki, how is Scoop doing? is his water intake more stabilized now? Hope all is well

stopping by to see how you and baby are!!!

Hi everyone-Things are not good. First we had to deal with no power for almost 6 days but I would gladly deal with that if my Scoop was doing good. The vet cultured his calcinosis cutis. It has 2 infections and one is resistant to a lot of antibiotics. So the antibiotic has to be compounded and I have to wear gloves to give it to him. That is scarey stuff. I also put DMSO on it too, more gloves. Scoop lost more weight and is not doing good. Last week I took him to see an IMS and a Neurologist. Tomorrow he goes back for an ultrasound of his abdomin and an MRI of his head. I'm so scared but I need to find out. I love him so much and it hurts so much. I hope everyone will please keep Scoop in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

Oh Vicki, I'm so sorry about everything you guys have been going through. Please do let us know as soon as you learn anything more from the new test results.

In looking back through your thread, I see you were planning to increase Scoop's trilostane dose after his last ACTH came back higher. Is he taking more trilo now, or is the IMS wanting to wait to see these new test results first?

Sending many hugs to you and your sweet boy,
Marianne

Vicki,
I hope you find the answers you are seeking about Scoop. It is just so hard not knowing and wanting to do the best for our babies. Let us know what the IMS/Neurologist finds out. Good luck!!

Oh poor little Scoop. :( How horrible to have to be dealing with a very resistant infection. That is worrying of course but hopefully will be cleared up. I know it is scary not knowing what the tests will show but like you said, you'll know at least what is going on. Once you know, then maybe there will be a plan that you can come up with along with your vet and IMS. I certainly hope so. Do let us know what they say.
Is the Diabetes under control still?

Big Hugs,

Please say a prayer for my Scoop. He is having surgery this morning. He has a problem in his middle ear. There is something in there. It's either infection or a tumor. Praying for a good result. I am so scared.
Marianne-yes, Scoop's trilo went up to 40mg on Sat.

Love you so very much Scoop!

Oh my gosh Vicki! Tons of prayers going out to Scoop and you. I am so sorry you both are going through all of this. Know that all the Angels here will be with you today.

Love and hugs,

Tina and Jasper

Hi Vickie,

Oh, honey, I know how scared you are right now. I remember well when Squirt had her tumor removed. The abject terror that consumes us, those horrible racing thoughts...the whole kit and kaboodle is just awful. To keep my mind busy, I worked my butt off that day in the house, spit and spot shining, scrubbing, mopping, anything I could think of to do. It helped and I did such a good job I didn't have to clean house for a MONTH! :cool::D:rolleyes::p Well, ok...maybe it could have USED a cleaning but.....;)

We are all with you, sending prayers and strength to you and to Scoop. Let us know how he is as soon as you can....and remember, you are not alone.
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
