Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

Oh Kathy, such a smart boy you have there!! Sending huge and loving hugs to you both, Lori

Awwww Buddy!! :p Love that he wanted that ramp up and just popped up there on that chest to do his best guarding! What a good boy! That is just the cutest story! :)
Such a smart guy he is!! I think he is out to prove everyone wrong!
GO BUDDY!!!! :D

Barbara

I just popped by to wish you and Buddy an awesome Friday and weekend and hope Buddy is busy using his ramp to guard the house:D Such a smart boy.

awwww....How sweet is that? Buddy knew what he wanted and that you could make it happen for him. Good boy, Buddy!

Kathy:
How smart are these dogs??? That is so heart warming to hear Buddy is doing something else he used to enjoy. They know how to talk without saying a word. He communicated to you without a sound, so he is very tuned into his mommy. Glad you are home and able to enjoy this time with him. Blessings

Awwww - I just love that Buddy was able to tell you what he wanted without saying a word. I'm sure he's going to spend many happy hours guarding his territory. Go Buddy!

Buddy has always been able to let me know what he wants. I tell him to "show me what you want" and he will take me right to whatever he wants. Sometimes he wants cookies, or he thinks it's time for a meal. Other times he wants the front door open, so he can look out. He may want me to move the pool cover, because it's covering his lizard holes. He often wants me to go outside with him. He will lead me to his water bowl when he wants freshwater. Buddy has no problem whatsoever communicating his wants. He doesn't always get what he wants and is a pouter when that happens. Most of the time he gets exactly what he wants and he's a happy guy!:D

Buddy woke up with a little upset stomach, reflux thing. When this happens his nose runs and he wheezes, because of the acid invading his sinuses. I didn't give him any Pepcid or Benadryl. I gave him his Trilostane /prednisone combo with breakfast. A couple hours later I gave him first dose of SEB for the day. His stomach settled and his sinuses cleared within a half an hour of giving him the SEB. Hope all are having an awesome weekend,
Kathy

Buddy is an amazing little guy.

Wow, sounds like that SEB is just wonderful for him. Everything seems to be working so well lately for him.

All great news!
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

I am bummed tonight. :( Buddy has been doing so well and I let myself enjoy it. He is having a hard time walking this evening. His front legs keep giving out on him. It looks like we cut the prednisone down to far. We dropped from twice a day dosing to once per day in the morning a week ago Friday. It's possible that he's just overly tired tonight, but I'm not feeling that. I'll see how his mobility is in the morning and then give his vet a call. :-) His vet will be gone most of the month of July, but is supposed to be in tomorrow. I hate these reminders that we are dealing with a tumor which will rob him of his ability to walk. It is happening much too soon.:(

I will sit with you on the couch tonight Kathy :o
