Zoe By My Side- Our Journey with Cushings

Awww, you guys, I am sitting here bawling again because of your kindness.

Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart.

Love,
Addy

You go Zoe. Ya Ya
It is so great to hear this .
Hugs Sonja and Apollo

We have our extra 5mgs compounded Trilostane and we are good to start 15mgs tomorrow morning.

Hubby will be home until 2:30 with Zoe and she will be alone with Koko until 5:30.

I think 3 hours alone is okay, isn't it? I will get home at 5:30. I could have my daughter stop in and check on her at 4:00 but I think the commotion will be more trouble for both pups.

Wish us luck.


Addy, Zoe and Koko too

Zoe should be just fine until you get home.

Addy,

I'm just now reading about the good news with Zoe.

THIS IS GREAT NEWS. I am so happy for your lil Zoe. Im glad
I read this. This is very positive and encourging. Gives me something to look for to.

Strut your stuff lil Zoe

Oh Rhondalyn thank you for your kind words and yes you do have something to look forward to for Honey; even just the small changes make you feel good.:):) Sometimes the littlest things count the most:)

Hi Addy,

I just saw where you posted how much you pay for stim test which included $120+ for cortrosyn. It is not necessary to use the entire vial of cortrosyn for Zoe. Your IMS/vet should be able to do five stim tests from one vial. Do the math and you'll see what a huge savings that is for you. If your vet does not know how to store the cortrosyn, give him/her the link to Dr. Peterson's detailed instructions on his blog for vets. You may want to print it out and hand it to him/her and get an agreement right then and there that going forward, at the next stim only 5mcg/kg of cortrosyn will be used and the remaining cortrosyn will be split, labeled and stored for Zoe's future stims. If your vet isn't willing to do this, I'd find another vet because there is absolutely no reason to create a financial hardship for you.

Thank you Glynda for reminding me. I had read the blog but did not follow up with my IMS. I just plain forgot.:o:o:o

So far Zoe is fine. She was chewing on her paws this morning a bit more than usual but who knows:confused: Anxious to see her poos tomorrow.

Hugs,
Addy

Hi Addy-
I saw Glynda's note about the cost of the ACTH test.....and have gone back 18 pages and did not find it. Could you repeat that please?
Thanks.
Susan

Susan, you couldn't find the information on Zoe's thread because Addy's post was in response to a Poll entitled "How much have you paid for an ACTH stimulation test? U.S. Dollars". You can find it here:
