Re: Jasper (9 yr old Mini Schnauzer) - Cushing's, now Addison's
Yes, it was brutal cold, especially after being 59F on Saturday! I have New Year's Day off only, but that is better than nothing. It would be wonderful to have another 5 days off, I could really use it. But will be working overtime the next 2 days for sure unfortunately. Enjoy your time off and your visit with your brother. I will tell you the story about my Nana's nurse's husband next time. I better take Jasper out and get to bed! So good to chat for a bit. Nite Trish. Smooches for Flynn. xo

Night Tina, yes I want to know about that Crunchie!! Strange coincidence! Sleep well and loads of pats and snuggles for Jasper and Shelby :D xx
Re: Jasper (9 yr old Mini Schnauzer) - Cushing's, now Addison's
Tina, so glad to hear from you and Jasper. :) Awww, late night chat fest! :) LOL Aren't those just the best chats.
Great that your nana will be able to go back to the assisted living after all. She'll definitely feel more comfortable there with the familiarity.
Well, drat, now there are high Trigs to throw into the Jasper mix bowl.
Hope he does well on the new food and likes it (unlike Mr Flynn-man :) ) and that the protein will remain fine too.
Ugh, yea, I think the cold weather along with a low that could bring snow is just going to settle in with us for a few days too. I repeat not a fan!
Good grief, coughing till you break ribs Tina, how horrible! You take care Kathy, no rib breaking on our watch.
Hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Tina
I see you popping in just as I am popping out!! Hopefully your pit stop will be a short one tonight, don't want you or Jasper getting frostbite outside!! Hoping you have a good report for us on Jasper and I will be checking to see tomorrow night! :D:D Talk to you soon, but my eyes are nearly closed! Nite xxxxx

Hi Tina,
Trixie's Triglycerides were sky high on our last blood work too. She did eat right before her blood test which could be a factor (I hope). In a few weeks we will do another blood test (this time before her first meal) to see if her liver numbers and triglyc have come down. I hope they have.
It's funny about being happy about the yellow urine!! So true that we get so excited for this finding!! While we had snow on the ground it was very easy to see that Trixie had some decent color...even my husband noticed while we were walking her. When she went in the snow he said "oh she had some good color"...I cracked up. My obsession checking Trixie's urine has rubbed off on him!
Good news about your Nana...I hope she continues to do well back at her assisted living.

Re: Jasper (9 yr old Mini Schnauzer) - Cushing's, now Addison's
HI Tina .... checking in to see how you and Jasper are doing!! But while I was here I noted you have not updated Jasper's thread since ummm.. LAST YEAR!! Just sayin.... :D:D I know you are flat out busy at work and family stuff so hope you are hanging in there and all is going well for you guys! :) Love to hear how you are doing when you get the chance! xxxxx BIG HUGS xxxxx
Re: Jasper (9 yr old Mini Schnauzer) - Cushing's, now Addison's
Sheesh, it has been so long since I posted, I almost couldn't find my own thread! Well, once again, I should have taken the opportunity to post an update on Jasper while things were kind of holding steady.
I have been up with him since 2:30 this morning, diarrhea and he also vomited x 1 at about 4:45. :( I am being optimistic that it is just some upset or colitis since he hasn't vomited again (said in a whisper). I cooked up some white sticky rice and he had 1/4 cup and has kept that down for about a half hour, so I gave him a dose of metronidazole a few minutes ago.
Please pray that the med kicks in and settles things, and it is not the beginnings of another pancreatitis flare, or his Addison's getting unstable again. End of the month time and the first week of the next month is the busiest time at work, and I just cannot be gone, especially tomorrow.
I plan to use my lunch to come home and check on him, and if there is more vomiting or diarrhea, then I will call the vet. My vet is not in today, so we would have to see someone else, which is not ideal with all his issues. :(
Addy, I am thinking about you this morning, I just haven't had a chance to post on your thread. ((Hugs))
Thank you everyone.
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper
