Right? If we lived in France, I would take Koko everywhere, he is so good about it, who knew!!:D:D:D:D I'm always ready to test the boundaries:p I always told Zoe, well, we've been thrown out of better places than this!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:o
Hey Patti, seriously though, I know Tipper is getting ready for her acth test and her surgery, as Sharlene mentioned. I hope everything goes well.
We are all here thinking about you!!!
Rosie has been to Lowe's, Home Depot, The Mall, Sprouts(Grocery Store) Vons, The bank, Petco, Petsmart, Patio Dining, Walmart, Target and a few other places.
Buddy used to go a lot. He was easy to sneak in. He was very quiet and still. The perfect gentlemen. Of course, we didn't look at lizards in pet stores. :D Rosie is much more opinionated and wiggly. She is pretty well behaved though.
Patti - Thinking of you and sweet Tipper and sending wellness thoughts your way.
Praying for you and Tipper.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo
Just popping in to wish Tipper well with the ACTH test - hope all is OK.
Your neighbour sounds awful Donna - I never understand why people deliberately go out of their way to make things difficult for others.
This afternoon I watched two teenage girls dump a rubbish / trash bag in our neighbour's bushes. He popped over to ask about it - sounds like they were trying to hide the remains of a secret party as it was full of empty bottles and other party stuff!!
Henry said he wants to go more places - so far he's only managed Petsmart, Petco, True Value and Tractor Supply - he loves the hardware shops as the employees and customers always make a big fuss of him.
Patti, thinking of you and your babies tonight as we're getting off and on thunderstorms. It was oppressively humid today. I didn't leave the house until after 4:30pm and only because I needed kitty litter.
Patti,
Best of luck with Tipper's ACTH test tomorrow. I hope you'll come back and let us know how you and Tipper are doing. Please, pretty please???:D
Patti,
I'm hoping that your being MIA is because you are exhausted and resting from the trip to the vet and that nothing is wrong.
Hugs to you, Tipper and the gang.
Patti, it's so unlike you to be away for so long, is everything ok? I am worried about Tipper, please let us know how you guys are doing?
Nadia
Hugs to you and Tipper. Please let us know how the ACTH test went and Tipper's results when they come in.:)
Still catching up on everyone's posts. Hoping all is okay with Tipper and with you. Did Tipper already have the acth? Are you waiting on results now? Keeping my fingers crossed that you have good numbers.
Thinking of you--
Barbara
Starting to get a little worried Patti. :o It's been a while since we've heard from you. I hope all is okay. Hugs,
^^^yeah, me too. Please let us know how you and Tipper are doing???Quote:

Keeping you up on top....don't want to lose you in the bog. You and Tipper are missed. :(
I have followed Patti's posts a bit, and was wondering & did a search, so this might explain. She did post her email address, but I think was advised to take it off. Hope things are okay. :)

Patti,
Thinking of you and Tipper.
Hope all is well.
Loving hugs to you both.
Tipper's tumor has grown. Patti is trying to find a surgeon. Gall bladder is having issues too from sludge! Please keep them in your thoughts & prayers!
Hi Patti,
I am going to post here on your thread what I sent you earlier, as someone reading Tippers thread, looking for their own answers to the same questions, might want to know where one goes from this point.
hang in thereQuote:
This is a link about laparoscopic adrenalectomy in dogs.
http://www.avsts.org.uk/sites/avsts....pring_2012.pdf
I understand that using miotane is no guarantee and that it is very risky to proceed to try and kill off the glands.
Do you know if the tumor is secreting? Have you discussed doing an endogenous ACTH, which is suppose to differentiate between which is causing the cushings. If that is possible once trilostane is started, I'm unsure on that point.
I think that you would have to find a surgeon who has done many of these via laparoscopic, find out if Tipper is even a candidate and then what the prognosis is for lifespan if everything goes okay.
The sludge is likely going to have to be addressed first, as that might be a hindrance to any surgery, so are they upping her medication or what for that?
Next I'd ask the IMS, about prognosis if you do nothing. How fast will the tumor continue to grow, what is life prognosis and then you have to consider what you are told about both and evaluate which will give Tipper the best chance for longevity.
I'll be honest Patti, because you already know this, but there is no easy answer here, there are only considerations and choices to be made for what will give Tipper the best chance for a good quality life, however long that may be.
I too worry that molly's tumor will grow and how fast and what to do if that occurs and if her sludge gets any worse. You are just several steps ahead of me on this journey. For now she is good, but no one knows what the future will hold.
Sharlene and molly muffin
Thinking of you and Tipper. We miss you, and hope that you find the right course of treatment for your little bundle of love.
Patti,
I sent you a visitor's message.
Hugs
This thread is closed for any further posting as owner/member is no longer actively posting here.
We Administrators have received some questions as to why Tipper's thread has been closed at this time. Our reasoning is that, due to Patti's decision to leave the forum for the time being, her thread was becoming a source of worrisome unverified speculation as to what is going on with her and Tipper. We know that many people are very concerned about them and want to wish them both the best. But for the protection of Patti's privacy and accuracy of information, we believe that future updates on Tipper's thread need to come from her personally should she choose to return.
In the meantime, all of Tipper's past history and experiences remain available for reading, as always.
