Our boy is home. We received his ashes and his paw imprint today. I feel comfort knowing he's home, but pain as well.
I love the idea of a letter. When I am ready I will do that...maybe for...

I love that! The candle site is great! I also didn’t realize that there was a grief and loss forum, and I will definitely check it out… Thank you so much.
Just hopping on to wish all you pet and human moms a Happy Mother's Day.
Whew, I did not know grief could produce an array of emotions. I have laughed, cried, felt anger, guilt...all in the...
Thank you so much, Leslie!
Thank you, Lori!
Joan I am so thankful my post gave you a little closure. I am determined to use Max's story and his life as a legacy and do some good things...I do not know what yet, but I have time to figure that...
Marianne,
Your words are exactly what I needed! I cannot thank you enough. I plan to stick around on the boards to offer help, encouragement, and a listening ear for others. I am thankful Max did...
Thank you so much! That is absolutely beautiful and much needed. I am filled with such such sorrow, but great love and memories.
I don't even want to write this. Max has passed. We lovingly let him go. He had a pulmonary embolism and we knew it was time to stop treating. We knew he would develop other things at his age and...
Thanks to you both! I will continue to share as we go in hope that Max's story will help others as well!
Thank you so much, Leslie!
There are a few sites and studies I have read about the pre-pill testing...mostly vet hospital or endocrinology articles. ...
Good morning. Let me begin with how our Internist monitors cortisol levels in treated dogs. She has found a prepill blood draw to be more accurate that repeating an ACTH test. I am fine with that...
Is it ok to pop the Vetoryl out of the blister packs to fill his medicine containers for the week or should they stay sealed until ready to use?
Perhaps different ways to read have been researched over the years and studies have been found that results can vary? I don't know, but very interesting to me. Here's something else I found...IDEXX...
No...no!!! We are birds of a feather!!! I too look at things in depth and question all aspects. I know in my heart if there is any sort of tumor anywhere (for all we know he could have something...
I have read that article. Lots of information! I appreciate you all taking the time to walk me through this.
And, yep I could've copied wrong...I can't figure out how to insert an image with...
Thank you so much!
I do believe some stress could be at play with his test. He stayed at the vet all day. After his baseline draw he REFUSED to get in the car. He kept pulling back and would...
Our Vet tech promptly sent over results this morning!
Baseline 68 nmol/L
4 hour 72 nmol/L
8 hour 114 nmol/l
I will absolutely continue to update. Now that we are on the road to treating Cushings I know I will have many more questions. I went ahead and submitted an order to Chewy, but realized that Costco...
Our vet responded this morning. I appreciate her taking a minute on her time off to respond. Here was her reply. I also asked if she could send me his results for my records. I am very happy...
Just got an email from the vet. She said his results are still consistent with Cushings. She did not send me the actual results, but emailed me just to touch base. She is not in the clinic today,...
Just dropping in to ask for some good vibes for tomorrow. Max will be having his LDDS test. She said we could take him home in between each blood draw to keep him happy.
She also said that a...
Thought it might be interesting to see how prices change over time.
Cortrosyn injection was $219
Test was $190
Ohhhhh,Thank you!!! Yes, he is neutered! Very interesting!
Yes, I did bring up that concern initially with my home vet. Our old internist agreed that he could have been stressed. I will discuss that possibility of running a new one. I realized after I put...
