Leah,
I'm so sorry to hear that Maya has passed :(. I haven't been on the site much since Max passed because I still tear up when I think about him, but I have been keeping updated through emails. I...

Thank you everyone.
With the help of some xanax, I've been making it through the days. It seems so lonely and empty at my house now :(. I feel like it still hasn't totally sunk in yet. Part of me is...

I can't say to much right now, but I just got home from having Max put down :(. He was really suffering the last few days, circling and pacing non stop. He could barely eat or drink. Today I can home...

Wow!!! Definitely shop around! We pay about $45 at our vet for the 30mg. A vet the next town over wanted around $80, which was part of the reason why we didn't go there. Someone had mentioned buying...

I hope you and Maya are doing well :). I was just wondering if you could tell me what she weighs and what dose of prednisone she is on? I was thinking maybe we could up Max's dose but I have no idea...

Tippers Mom-
I will try to explain, but I don't know if it will make sense. Max hasn't wagged his tail in years. It's more of a slow movement, and it is like his tail is kind of going up and down,...

Max hasn't been doing so well :(. We upped the prednisone back to the original amount. I came home Thursday from one of my jobs and I really thought he was dying. It freaked me out so bad, and I...

Max seems to be having another bad day :(. We were up all night, he was restless. I ended up sleeping on the couch with him. This morning I tried to bring him out to pee. He wouldn't stand!! He kept...

It's liquid prednisone. I believe its 7.5mg that he was taking and now it will be 5mg. I'll double check that in the morning. He seems very dazed and weird tonight :/

I'm so sorry to hear that Bo isn't doing too well. I will keep you both in my thoughts, and just remember that there are SO many amazing people on this forum!! We are like a big happy family :).

Hi!
Before being diagnosed with Cushing's disease, my Boston Terrier Max was diagnosed with severe allergies. His fur was literally falling out to the point where he had big open sores, his skin was...

Thank you for the kind words everyone. I just keep going up and down. One minute I am okay, and I want to enjoy my time left with Max. The next minute I feel so awful and depressed :(

The...

I don't know if this is any help but I figured I'd give you my input!
Max is my dog, and my mom has 2 other Boston terriers. They all grew up together (I just took Max about a year and a half ago,...

Just wanted to say welcome!! I know it's scary but you have found a great group of people that will offer you so much support and knowledge!!!

I was just poking around the site (in an attempt to procrasinate and not do homework) and I saw you had wrote about her eye bulging and she couldn't see out of it on the macro thread, so I came back...

I was just curious, does one of Maya's eyes bulge? When I brought Max to the specialist, I told her I was worried because the last few weeks I noticed his left eye bulged slightly, and he always...

Thank you Leah, I'm so glad I have someone who is almost exactly in the same shoes that I'm in to talk to. I have been going up and down. I cried for 2 days straight. Then I thought I was coming to...

Poor Max is so sedated that he just rolled off of the couch and continued sleeping!!! Tomorrow I start with a higher dose of phenobarbital, the prednisone and then a new seizure med he has to take 3...

No, we found out today that Max has a macro tumor. We are treating the brain swelling with prednisone, and keeping him on Vetoryl in hopes that his skin wont get too bad. They said he has maybe a...

Just so you know, Max has calcinosis cutis. Not all dogs with Cushing's get it (Actually I think most of them don't). The reason we found out Max had Cushing's was that all his fur fell out and his...

Thanks everyone :)
Max was given a shot of prednisone today, and he seems so much more peaceful already. He has barely been pacing and only circling a little bit. Actually, he has pretty much been...

I just watched your YouTube video. Boriss has such a sweet face!!!!! Him and Pearl are just so precious! :)

So it wasn't good news. Max has a macro, they gave me some prednisone to buy him some time but she said maybe a month at most. If I hadn't brought him in today they said I most likely would of...

I'm treating Max with 30mg of Vetoryl a day. And he is literally skin and bones!!!

Thank you everyone!!!!!!
It is so great to have so many caring and awesome people!!!!!!
I will update everyone as soon as I get back from the specialist. Whether it be good or bad news, I will feel...
