Thinking of you, Meg. I hope you're okay! *hugs*

I second/third the CoQ10 for kidneys. I'm doing lots of research right now due to my non-cushpup having early kidney disease, and it's highly recommended.
Your baby is sure in good hands!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Jen Jen was so very fortunate to have you for her mum. You took wonderful care of her, and loved her unconditionally. Rest in your sweet memories of her, and know she's...

Hello all!

I hope you're doing well. I've been a bit awol, life has been crazy!

I took Chip for follow-up testing yesterday, and here are his results (I'm copying and pasting what I put in the...

Neopredef is an antibiotic powder, which also has drying properties and the numbing agent.
It helps keep/get the hot spot/chewed area dried out, instead of staying moist (an appealing breeding...

Ah, I think I misunderstood your last sentence. Gotit. No, it's probably ok otherwise. :)

I recall seeing that, Sharlene. Zanya doesn't seem to get that. Perhaps she's not quite as sensitive?

Just got her results, but with a caveat. Zanya's pre-treatment ACTH stim and her test at 9...

Thanks, ladies!

Some of it has been long after, some not right after, but not real long after.

Thanks Sharlene :)
(Late response, sorry...)

Zanya just got back from her ACTH stim... hopefully we'll get results tomorrow, hate to wait until Monday!

Hello friends,

We took Zanya in for her ACTH stim test today, hoping it comes back good!
When picking up chip, I had my daughter bring Chip in to get a weight, as I'm concerned that he's losing...

So that night, I had spoken with the vet, and didn't bring it up directly, but was saying about him arching back, etc, and she didn't say anything about possible pancreatitis. I decided not to bring...

Agreed on not increasing, either. Great improvement, though! Hurrah!

BTW: Just a quick note, you mentioned that your vet said the 30mg BID was in line with Dechra's dosing. They changed their...

Oh wow, how scary!!
I'm so glad she's ok/stable. I hope things will level out soon for her.

Here's hoping for some warmer weather soon! Chip wasn't appreciative of having to walk across the...

Oh DebbieJo, I am SO happy to hear about Jenny's adventures with the lizards! It's incredible what a turnaround she's made. You've done an incredible job fighting for her and advocating for her. ...

Yay!! 3.6 is beautiful!! So happy to hear that, go Murphy!!

Do you also have the pre-results? It's important to also be sure that number isn't going to low.

Thrilled at the positive news.

When someone gets "trilostane" which is non-brand, it's made at a compounding pharmacy, which is not super regulated.

Hi Karen!

Welcome to the forum, although I'm sorry that you need to be here.
It sounds like you have quite a lot you're dealing with there. *hugs*

I've only been on here about a month (so...

Thanks for the update, DebbieJo :)
I'm sure Jenny was in her element!! So sweet...

Cheers,
Samantha and Zanya

Hi jakabi,

I'm glad you'll be having you baby retested. Perhaps remind the vet about the possible reaction last time, and plan to stick around for a bit longer after the injection, like 15...

Hi Kitty,

Welcome to the site! I'm sorry for why you're here, though. Poor Kaya, I'm sure she IS scared and confused.

You're in great hands with the more seasoned members, but wanted to say...

Aww, I'm so glad to hear you received that reassurance from your Grandma :)
I know it can be so difficult, when so many things are out of their natural order (you away, Abby not feeling 100%, etc...

PS - The office staff apparently hadn't written down the note for the vet to call me, and mentioned it just before she was leaving. They had 3 emergencies come in shortly before closing, and she...

Yes, I spoke with the vet this afternoon.
She said as I thought she would, that it's just fine with that, and that even showing "rare" RBCs and WBCs is ok - in fact, 1-5 is acceptable, she says....

Of course I'll share! Thanks ladies.
I'm familiar with cocci, mostly curious if others have had their vets say for a free catch, having some bacteria is ok/normal.
The vet didn't get to call...

Well, I'm not sure now - as vet had said it was "normal" to see some bacteria (like +1) from a free catch.
I have a call in to her, as I only spoke with a tech thus far today.
They didn't culture...
