Praying for you and Tipper hope that vet calls you soon....
It's not overkill, Patti! You are covering your bases and being a wonderful mother to Tipper. :) Buddy would love to catch a few of his playmates to share with Tipper. :)Unfortunately, traveling with Buddy and lizards would rob me of the little sanity that I have left!:eek: It is a nice thought though.:) I hope you get the answers you are seeking very soon.
Hugs,
Kathy
Patti,
these vets will sit on their butts and take their sweet time if we don't enlighten them as to the importance of what they do for us and our pets.
Hoping for good news.
Hi Everyone:
Tipper had an ok nite last nite. Her breathing was not as bad as it usually is. I cannot understand for the life of me how this happens some nites and not others. It is such a mystery that I need to solve it and move past this already. It was a relatively quiet evening and that's the way I like it. It is misting outside, but Tipper walked in it anyway. This dog just loves to walk, if that is ever taken away from her she will not do well. I am optimistic this Dr. is going to call me early next week with some type of easy solution to a non life threatening problem. Oh well, I am living in my bubble surrounded by my state of denial for the weekend as that is the only way I can get thru these few days. This is wearing on my mind already and I want to know what this is. I wish this Dr. would show me a little mercy once and a while for the fact that I try to be diligent and help as much as I can possibly can to solve these problems. You would think they would appreciate a person who bends over backwards to help their animal when there are so many abused and neglected ones out there. Oh well I will help Tipper no matter what, it is in my DNA, I know no other way to be. If the Dr. does not call by Monday then I am going to probably give her a pep talk again on how important this dogs life is to me. Hope you all have a good day with your babies. Blessing

Patti,
We all live in out little bubbles surrounded by denial at times.;) My bubble is equipped with all the modern conveniences, as I spend quite a bit if time in there! LOL Hang in there Patti. I know it's hard!
Hugs,
Kathy
I wonder if it's weather related and somehow stress/cortisol...?
Was it stormy/windy or calm yesterday?
Big hug, kisses to Tipper the Ripper

Hi Mel:

Everyone:
Tipper had another decent nite without too much of a struggle to breathe. I still think it is associated with the flap on the trachea, and sometimes it sticks partially closed. If she could just breathe normally, we really would not have too many other issues. I have been reading some posts on the skin condition associated with this disease and it has reinforced my conclusion that Tipper has had this Cushings for a few years. I remember she had a few bumps on her leg a few years ago that were hard. They eventually went away, and the vet said they were probably calcium deposits. So she must have had this back then. I felt a small bump on the inside of her leg a few days ago. Feels like a small round hard ball much smaller than the eraser on a pencil. I bet it is a calcium deposit.
Tipper's personality has changed so much, she is very impatient and not wanting to put up with too much. I think it is all the trips to the vet, all the med dispensing and the Vetoryl. I few times I was doing something with her and she growled at me and tried to snip me. This really made me cry, even though I know she did not mean it. She has never ever done that before. I have to bribe her with one nugget of dog food at a time in order to trim her hair, she will not put up with standing on the grooming table and getting trimmed. I put her on the bathroom vanity, start trimming and give her a nugget, then trim some more. She only lasts maybe 5 minutes, so I have to keep doing it all day long in increments, so she is half trimmed and half not. I am trying to keep her weight down and this does not help! I bet my nosy neighbors are really thinking I am off my rocker when they see her walking half clipped. I am eagerly awaiting to hear form the Dr. early next week, and very scared about what she will tell me. Hope you all have a good day with your babies. Blessings

If those are the same neighbors that were talking behind your back, I sure wouldn't give them a moment's thought. ;):(I am so sorry that Tipper's personality has changed. Could she be in pain? Sometimes dogs in pain don't want to be touched and will snap if they are feeling unwell. Tipper loves you so much. She's probably just feeling out if sorts.
Hugs,
Kathy
Daisy gets grumpy too and I tell her "no" firmly. She usually backs off then and allows me to do what I want. I swear they test us like children do to see what they can get away with!
