This is exactly how I felt from the time Scarlett was erroneously diagnosed with Cushing's in 2009, and then for the next three and a half years dealing with all the things she did have. I always wished a good day would be "an endless loop" played over and over, as I did not want our story to end. God bless you and Tipper.
Re: Tipper my Jack Russell is having breathing problems
Yes Patti,
We all hear the clock ticking. A macro-tumor causes the clock to spin like a top, barely slowing long enough to catch your breath. It is not about being brave. It's doing what you have to at any given time. I hope the storms missed you and all is okay.:)Those docs will call, just keep pushing for answers. I hope you both have a quiet, free breathing night.
Hugs,
Kathy
Re: Tipper my Jack Russell is having breathing problems
Hi Everyone:
I was up all nite as we had tornadoes swirling around close to us. What a wicked nite. Tipper became so terrified she was trying to dig a hole in the floor to get down low. It was awful. I do have a weather radio, but it scares the daylights out of Tipper when it goes off, so I just left the t.v. on and watched it. Yesterday as the vet was getting some gunk out of Tipper's ear to put under the microscope, she yelped. I hope he did no hurt her eardrum. I gave her the eardrops at 6:00 and the meds for her bite. I wanted to get it all done as we have another storm on the horizon, and she will hide in the closet. I got no call from the Dr. Should I be surprised?? I am going to call after I type this so when I hear anything I will post an update. I told my vet yesterday that I also burned another DVD for him to see breathing problem. he never said a word, not even like well I would be glad to see this or anything. Never even asked me where it was! He really cares doesn't he?? He is kind and gentle to the animals, that is the best thing I can say for him. Well here goes the phone call and probably a battle along with it. Blessings

Re: Tipper my Jack Russell is having breathing problems
Hi everyone:
partial update- I just called the Dr. and was told she gave the DVD to the neurologist and surgeon to view. I suppose now she realizes I am not crazy about this breathing issue, and feels it may be something they may know more about. I am glad she was able to view it, but scared now of what I am going to be told by these Dr.'s. She said she will call by the end of the week. God help my Tipper that is all I can say. Blessings

Re: Tipper my Jack Russell is having breathing problems
Patti,
This is actually good news because you now know that it is viewable. :) She passed it on to those who know more. That's good too! Three docs viewing is much better than one! ;)I know the waiting is almost unbearable, but we'll all wait it out together.
Love and Hugs to you and Tipper:D

Re: Tipper my Jack Russell is having breathing problems
Well it's a baby step but at least it is forward. So the next question is, will she call you and talk to you after everyone has had their looksee or what?
Hope you can get some answers.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Re: Tipper my Jack Russell is having breathing problems
Hi Everyone:
I am anxiously awaiting a call from the Dr.. I was not able to sleep well last night as Tipper really struggled again. It is probably not a good thing, but sometimes I shake her to make her stop it. She will go right back to doing it when she falls back to sleep though. I am so scared of what they are going to tell me, as we have had too many set backs. I know that when it involves your breathing it is no small issue, so that is why I am so worried. I am afraid of them not being able to help her. It is a shame that during the day she is normal, at night is the only problem. She has such a good quality of life in the daytime, that it is hard to think this could take her life. I feel if I could just get a handle on this issue she may have a chance to live longer, and it is killing me not knowing what to do for her. I am hoping between 3 Dr.'s this can be figured out. I am glad I finally got the video of her and that they are able to see this first hand. Please pray for my girl that something can be done about this. Blessings
Patti
