Can Bailey and I come over and go for a swim??!!??
Sure, everyone can!!!! It will take about 2 weeks to get the water up tothe right temperature (I like 85)and all the chemcial levels to go down. You have to "shock" the pool when you open it. Last year I was so upset about Zoe, I did not enjoy the pool. This year I am already happy to see it open.
She went out and had a poo at 11:30 which she usually does not do and then stopped panting. I am sure it is about her poos. The panting always was before.
She seems like she does not feel quite right today, She was doing a lot of lip licking and yawning, calming signals. She is acting like she does when her colitis is bothering her.
I'll see how tonight goes.
Hope the city was fun!!!!

Addy
Re: My Zoe, Lhasa Apso, diagnosed with Cushing's
Hi, Addy.
I hope things are calming down a bit with Zoe. Isn't it awful to stare at them and wonder what every little thing they do or don't do means?! Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and sending much positive energy your way.
Re: My Zoe, Lhasa Apso, diagnosed with Cushing's
Thank you Mary Beth,
Yeah, if only they could talk. :D She had the "colitis tail" on her poos twice today. We have not seen that for over six weeks. She doesn't get metronidazole tonight. I'll see where I am in the morning. Might have to call IMS about going back on metronidazole twice a day until we see where we are. I don't want to rush that though. Maybe her insides will calm down and adjust.
Taking it one day at a time. She perks up in the evening. If she stops barking for her food, I'll know it is serious:D:D:D:rolleyes:
Thanks for checking on us. Give Ali extra hugs!!!!!!
Love,
Addy

Dear Addy
Just checking on you and Zoe. You are doing good. Try to breath and believe it will get better.
Hugs Sonja and Apollo
Re: My Zoe, Lhasa Apso, diagnosed with Cushing's
Well, we have no panting this morning, she is alert and happy but her stool is formed but really soft and very wet, almost mush.
I will go to work this morning and come home at noon, see where she is with hubby and call IMS. She had her metronidazole this morning, not last night.
I pretty much knew this would happen but I guess a small part of me hoped it would not.:(:(:(
It is just hard to see as it took me all those months to get her better. All that work, so slow and painstaking gone.:(:(:(
We continue on and will make her better again.
Love,
Addy
Re: My Zoe, Lhasa Apso, diagnosed with Cushing's
Oh, Addy,
She may adjust yet....it's just a lot to deal with all at once for her system. Hopefully, she is just shocked a teeny bit with the changes but will settle back down very soon. When I read "colitis tail" my first thought was "grab the elm!" I am so pleased with how it works for Trink that is my first response to tails now. :p
I hope you find all is well at lunch and you can breath a bit better this afternoon.
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
Re: My Zoe, Lhasa Apso, diagnosed with Cushing's
I wish I could "ELM" her, Leslie, Lord only knows how I wish I could, but I can't try something new right now.
To confuse it more, with are having a bad thunderstorm approaching. She is afraid of thunderstorms.:( IMS said I could give her melatonin for that but I need to see where I am with her without it right now. She seems to start acting like she feels yucky around 8:30. She gets her vetoryl at 5:30 to 5:45. Not sure if it bothers her tummy or her cortisol is dropping and she "has that yucky feeling," I don't now why but I just started singing that Righteous Brother"s song 'You've lost that loving feeling replacing the words with yucky feeling:D:D:D
Now I can't stop laughing and keep singing it. I must be losing it:rolleyes::eek::rolleyes::p;):D
Let you know,
Addy
Re: My Zoe, Lhasa Apso, diagnosed with Cushing's
I'm hoping that Zoe's treatment with Trilo continues to go well, and that you continue to see improvements.
Re: My Zoe, Lhasa Apso, diagnosed with Cushing's
I knew you lost it a long time ago!! :D:eek::D
I sure hope it is only getting use to the new medicine for Zoe. Of course you know best and I trust your judgment. :o
I hope your Monday gets better!!! :p
