Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

I hope Buddy is better this morning. You'll had a rough night. Maybe today will be better for you. Love, JoAnne

Oh Kathy,
I'm just catching up on your posts...wow..what a bad night you had! How great though that Mel and Trish, from the other side of the world were there for you!! You were not alone and I'm certain that gave you some comfort while you going through such distress in the wee hours.

It's a long, long night when you know your pup is hurting. Poor Buddy....how is he doing today? I am hoping so much that he is okay today and not at all in pain and up and around in his usual fashion.
Thinking of you and Buddy too! :p

Pleased you posted as I was wondering.

Hope it has cooled down now

Big hug

Mel,
You are one of my many blessings. I am very thankful for you.:) I love that you take sweet Tia's photo with you when you go on holiday. Big hugs my sweet,
Kathy

Being here even if it's not saying much makes me feel like I am honouring my little girl and what we learnt and experienced.

I need to see her face, I will take a few. I have 3 in my direct line of sight at home. Alongside Tara and Juno my girls before Tia.

I am looking forward to getting away from work, I need this break that I do know!

Big hug back to you and kisses galore for our mighty hunter

Nights are not going well for Buddy. I know that he is in pain. :(
Kathy

Just nipping in to let you know I am here..

Sorry Buddy is having a rough night again, hoping that you can get the dose of pred sorted out soon to make him more comfortable.

Can he have any more tramadol tonight to take the edge off? I wonder whether his cortisol is running a bit higher at night as that can make them restless

I know it's tough, praying for you that he feels better soon

Tight hug
Mel

His cortisol would be running higher because he gets the second dose of prednisone in the evening and takes his Trilostane in the morning. Point being,I cannot continue to let him be a pain every night. I gave him a quarter of a tramadol at 11:30. He can have another quarter if he needs it. I can't just keep pumping pain meds into him though. He's fine during the day. Active, involved, eating and pooping well. I am also pretty shook up about Scoop and poor Vicki.

I wonder whether you could add a small dose of trilo at night to balance that out instead of the tramadol.. I understand completely about not wanting to give him lots of medicine Kathy

Its hard we become attached to all the puppies on here, I have cried for them both too.
