  1. Re: Our 14 year old mutt, Penny

    RIP sweet Penny.

    Penny had a seizure this morning and we decided it was time for us to let her rest in peace.

    Thank you to everyone here for the years of support you have given.

    Mahalo nui...

    Thank you, Leslie
  3. Re: Our 14 year old mutt, Penny

    Update on Penny. At the end if December we did a great battery of tests ($$) and absolutely everything came back normal. We switched her food to Hill’s I/D and her diarrhea resolved. She ate that...
  4. Re: Our 14 year old mutt, Penny

    Don’t worry. Appropriate testing is being done. She is not overdosed and is in no way lethargic. Just recurring diarrhea.
  5. Re: Our 14 year old mutt, Penny

    Penny has had diarrhea for a month. Every time we think it’s resolving, she decides not to eat that food (whatever it was this week) anymore.

    So we are doing more extensive GI testing and sending...
  6. Re: Our 14 year old mutt, Penny

    Thank you, Marianne. That is good information and I will talk to the vet.
  7. Re: Our 14 year old mutt, Penny

    Sorry, I haven’t been back here in a while. Penny had repeat blood work and her CRE was back down to 1.2 so the vet now does not think her kidneys are failing. We have kept her on her regular dose of...
  8. Re: Our 14 year old mutt, Penny

    My vet discussed Penny's situation with an internist and they decided it would be better for Penny to remain on the Vetoryl since she is so well controlled. The internist said the issues with Vetoryl...
  9. Re: Our 14 year old mutt, Penny

    Thank you, Leslie. I just placed a call to the vet about stopping the Vetoryl. I had not remembered seeing that on the prescribing info.

    Penny’s last blood work six months ago did not have the...
  10. Re: Our 14 year old mutt, Penny

    Well, I finally obtained a copy of Penny’s test results. The vet’s staff told us the wrong pre test instructions so that delayed it a week, then the vet ended up in the hospital from a bee sting...
  11. Re: Our 14 year old mutt, Penny

    2014 actually. She started at 30 mg and then up to 40 mg about 6 months later.

    This vet doesn’t recommend ACTH testing much since Penny gets so upset, he felt it wasn’t going to be all that...
  12. Re: Our 11 year old mutt, Penny

    Just made an appointment to take Penny for ACTH stim testing. Our rural vet doesn’t have it so it will need to be ordered. Our appointment is next week.

    Penny is now 14 and she keeps on tickin....
  13. Re: Our 9 year old mutt, Penny, in the dx process

    Penny continues to amaze. She is recovering from the vestibular quite well. Moving better each day and today she finally ate her normal diet from her normal bowl in the normal place. She’s back to...
  14. Re: Our 12 year old mutt, Penny

    Penny’s vestibular is improving slowly. Nystagmus is pretty much gone but she is wobbly and still circling. Diarrhea is gone also. I’m getting better at walking on her “head tilt” side. If she bumps...
  15. Re: Our 12 year old mutt, Penny

    Still amazed that our Penny is still with us. She gives us a scare once in a while. This last June she had severe bloody diarrhea and two different vets thought she had a perforated bowel or cancer...
  16. Re: Our 12 year old mutt, Penny

    Penny is our miracle dog. It's been several years now since her Cushings dx and over a year ago that she had hemangiosarcoma cancer.

    She's getting very lumpy with numerous cysts and lipomas. We...
  17. Re: Our 11 year old mutt, Penny

    Penny continues to do well after her Holiday ordeal over Christmas and New Years. Her weight is up slightly. She is starting to show some minor loss of hearing and eyesight, but that seems to go away...
  18. Re: Our 11 year old mutt, Penny

    Thanks for the kind words.

    We are going to watch and see for a little while. Then discuss going in again with the vet. Penny definitely bounced back from just the sedation and local much better...
  19. Re: Our 9 year old mutt, Penny, in the dx process

    Update on Penny. She continues to be happy and have lots of energy. However, the hematoma that was at the site of her tumor has recurred. The suspicion is that the hemangio sarcoma is back and...
  20. Re: Our 9 year old mutt, Penny, in the dx process

    Penny is doing very well. It was pretty scary there for a while, but she is a trooper. Her staples/stitches will come out tomorrow. One more day of antibiotics. She was on some pretty heavy doses of...
  21. Re: Our 9 year old mutt, Penny, in the dx process

    Penny has had a rough time. She had her spleen removed Friday (5 days ago) and just wasn't bouncing back. She was painful and couldn't keep her oral medications down. She spent two nights at the vet...
  22. Re: Our 9 year old mutt, Penny, in the dx process

    Well. We had the hematoma removed and inside was a membrane encased mass. Turned out to be hemangio sarcoma. Ultrasound today shows an additional probable tumor on her spleen. The liver, adrenals,...
  23. Re: Our 9 year old mutt, Penny, in the dx process

    Penny has beenn stable on 40 mg vetoryl for a year now. She is mostly asymptomatic except for hunger and dry skin.

    Over the last few months she has developed a hematoma on her side. It was...
  24. Re: Our 9 year old mutt, Penny, in the dx process

    Penny weighs about 46 pounds and is starting with 30 mg Vetoryl. Had her first dose this morning with her breakfast.

    I am watching her, probably too closely. She got into the garbage today. She is...
  25. Re: Our 9 year old mutt, Penny, in the dx process

    Penny had follow-up LDDS test and blood work and the signs are there now along with more pronounced symptoms. Her excessive drinking has increased, now voracious appetite, pot belly and some signs of...
