Hi Jennie,

Welcome to you and all your sweet elder pups! We are so glad you found us and we are sorry for the reasons that brought you to us. Could you round up copies of all the tests that were...

Oh Kathy, I am so sorry that you were exposed and am praying for you. Joan, you and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers too.

On a lighter note, we received 10 inches of snow Thursday!!...

Oh Joan, I will be keeping you and Victor in my thoughts and prayers, tons of positive energy flying your way!

I made the Thanksgiving meal at my house, my BIL, niece, Misty, nephew and his wife...

Your Halloween plans sound great, and I can picture sweet Luna with her pretty orange collar. I was surprised to find out that our township is having trick or treating this year so if Misty's Dad...

If you plant milkweed they may come!!! I hardly ever saw butterflies until I started a butterfly friendly garden. Now swallowtails and monarchs play homage to the flowers I've planted, every year I...

I've released 51 Monarchs this year and still have 11 in chrysalis, these 11 are very late in the season and I'm worried that when they eclose the weather will be too cold for their release. We've...

Hi and welcome to you and your boy!

I have manually approved your membership so now all your posts will be seen right away. Also, please just disregard the validation email that was sent to you...

Diarrhea and lethargy are signs that cortisol may have dropped too low so my recommendation is to have his cortisol checked. How is his appetite?

I have 37 monarch caterpillars in their chrysalis, they should be eclosing within the next week, these are the super-migrators and will be the ones that fly the whole way to Mexico to roost.

My...

Happy belated Birthday, sweet Luna!!!!!

Rimadyl is an amazing anti-inflammatory that does bring much needed relief to severely arthritic dogs but it is tough on the stomach and the liver, and our cushdogs already have a liver working...

Huge loving hugs coming from me as well ♥

My concern is that the test was performed while he had ear infections which could raise his cortisol levels so that result of 3 could possibly be higher than what it actually is.

Well, this year is a bummer for my monarchs, I have only found 12 eggs so far :( Last year at this time I had almost 50! From what I've read there is a 53% drop in the monarch population, so sad.

Hi and a belated welcome to you and Rumor!

It would seem to me that the Chem 17 panel would have the electrolytes included, so you wouldn't need to have the electrolytes done separately which...

Huge hugs from me as well.

Sending huge loving hugs to you and Ginger!

Hi Nallely,

Welcome to you and Lucas from me as well! One question I have, did they perform the LDDS test while Lucas was ill? The reason I ask is because the LDDS test can yield a false positive...

Hey Marianne!

I do grow tropical milkweed in containers, common milkweed is what's native in my area and comes up every year. The tropical milkweed I started from seeds indoors because it gets too...

Hi Shelton,

A belated welcome to you and Joni!! I just wanted to mention that I took my boy, Harley, to UPenn (Ryan Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania) and thought it was well...

Were the crystals ever looked into? One of my dogs had oxalate crystals, they can be very painful. With my boy, the crystals had to be surgically removed (twice). Holding you all in my thoughts and...

Hi and welcome to you and Lucy from me as well!

I agree with everything Marianne has said, and I can't believe how unprofessional that vet is acting. You are Lucy's advocate, her voice, and only...

Kathy is right, however, there is a published study that has found that larger dogs require less of the recommended dose of Trilostane to control cortisol, so if this were me I wouldn't start out any...

My flowers came up too!!! They are beautiful!!!!!

Hi and welcome to you and Piper!

OMGoodness! You and your precious girl have been through a lot lately and I am glad you took matters in your own hand to lower her dose. I also glad to read that...
