Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Oh wow, how scary!!
I'm so glad she's ok/stable. I hope things will level out soon for her.
Here's hoping for some warmer weather soon! Chip wasn't appreciative of having to walk across the ice-crusted snow, and having his feet cave in just as he thought he was good with each step. He managed, though... eventually.
Hugs!

Come on Molly. Good results! Mama needs less worrying.

Sending good vibes for Molly's tests today!

Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Molly went in for her blood draw and was a perfect doll, just sat there and let them take her blood then she was ready to go home. Easy peasy. (Who is this dog!!) I guess she's been through it enough in the last few months that this part doesn't bother her any longer.
So sorry I am not around much right now gang. We are fully immersed in wedding stuff. Seems to either be wedding or work every single moment these days. Hoping this will all be better once we get through mid April. I don't even know where this year has gone so quickly!
Molly is being a trooper though and hopefully this renal panel will show everything fine. Then on to the next ACTH and a repeat UPC to see if this dose is holding her.
hugs all,

What's all this fuss about? This is Molly after all!;) Waiting anxiously along with the others, but not the least bit worried. :p

Chiming in with good Molly wishes!

Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Still no news It always takes forever through the gp vet for results to come back because they are sent out. at the IMS everything comes back the next day as they are. Priority location. ( emergency hospital ER)
I'm sure it is fine. She is acting the same. Still will be good to have confirmation. Thanks for being here waiting with me.
I hate trying to be patient.
Hugs!

Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
I have far too many headaches to be tactful, so I will apologize in advance. Here goes. She is acting the same. Sooooooo 😜😜😜 the test results!
Still holding your hand Sharlene. We are here.

Just a quick note, I just called the GP vet and the test results are back, but the vet is out of town until Friday, so they won`t give me the results. I did ask if anything looked out of range and the girl I spoke to said she didn`t notice anything, so I take that as a good sign and I reminded her to send the results to the IMS.
See, this is why it is better to get the tests all done via the IMS, but they are further away and I have to take off work to go there. Argggh, frustrating.
Anyway, that is where we stand. We won`t know anything till Friday and probably not until the following week if the vet is super busy on friday or saturday playing catch up.
hugs all, hang in there! We will eventually know.

Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Dang... so frustrating. At least they said everything looked in range so that sounds good. Maybe you could ask them to email you "your" copy for your records and you could get them that way. :D :D :D
-
Frustrating! I am sure everything is fine! Take care.
-
Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
I agree Sharlene. Cornell had the results the following day at the latest.
-
Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Maybe when you do talk to your vet, you can ask him to put a standing note in your chart that permits staff to release results directly to you in the future?
-
Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
I wish my vet would email the results but they don't seem to be able to get the hang of the scan and email.
I will be going over at some point prob Friday evening to pick up a copy of the lab results for the renal panel as I've booked molly in for a urinalysis, UPC and ACTH test on Wed next week. The Ophthalmology department called and said they'd like to take a look at her eyes and I said she would be in on Wed if they want to see her then.
I am divided on what to do after the wed acth results come back as I figure they will want to increase trilostane, but I am so swamped with work and wedding that I won't be able to get her in for another ACTH test I'm afraid and I don't like letting it go after a dose change. So, will discuss possibilities with the IMS when the results come back. No point in putting the cart before the horse, so need the results of everything first.

Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
In this day of "everything" technology, you would think the vet's offices would be more up to date. My former vet couldn't do anything like that either. I think they are just used to faxing things and don't want to do anything new. Unfortunatley, we don't all have a fax machine attached to our telephone line. There are other ways to get around this, but it would take effort that I'm sure a busy office wouldn't want to deal with. Oh well... we tried, right?? ;)
I wouldn't want to change Molly's trilo dose either until all of the chaos and festivities are over. Since she's being her normal, sassy little self, I bet if she needs a dose change it will work to wait. Hugs!

Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
I'm choosing to go with no news is good news, especially when you're so busy with the wedding anyway.;) Maybe our little muffin can help supervise the decorations or better yet, cake testing. Now that would be fun! LOL

Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Hi gang. Just spoke with my vet and molly's renal numbers are all very good and within normal range. So yay! Her kidneys are holding for now and doing well. We'll have to retest these pretty often to make sure that the medication doesn't start to affect them but for today and this month, this is good news.
I'll be picking up my copy this evening and they are faxing to the specialist too.
Whew. Now on to next weeks tests. She will stabilize at some point right, so we don't have to test as often :(

Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
So, on Wednesday, back to the IMS for ACTH testing, UPC/urinalysis and the eye doctor to take a peek at her perhaps.
I sure am getting tired of all the vet trips, sure molly feels the same and I know most on here could echo that sentiment. I just want to find out the best combination of medicine to keep all her issues stable and carry on.

Re: Molly, 11 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Good luck to you and sweet Molly tomorrow, prayers and good thoughts for good results, and I definitely can relate to all the vet trips, my boys won't even get into the car anymore without bribes of treats.
HUGSSS!
