Hi, folks! Just wanted to post an update on Miss Sadie Sue. Her symptoms (heavy panting almost all the time, increased water intake, scrounging for food and increase in barking) started coming back...

Hi! I wanted to add my welcome to you and Bean. As I am sure you have realized already, the Admins have a wealth of knowledge and experience. When working with my first two Cushing's pups, I...
Hi, Leslie! It is good to hear from you. Sadie Sue continues to do well. She is back to letting me know when she has to go out to pee and she has gone about 2 1/2 to 3 hours in between pee trips. ...
Hi, folks! Sadie Sue continues to do well. Last night she did have an accident in the house but only because I was being overly optimistic and didn't take her out to pee on one of our regular trips...
Welcome! I am so glad you have found this group to help guide you with Doby's issues. There are many members who have extensive experience and knowledge with both diagnosis and treatment of...
I am newly back on the forum but have read your posts about Petrie. She was obviously much loved by you and you have offered her the loving act of letting her go. Let your heart heal by focusing on...
Folks: Sadie Sue is responding really well to being on Vetoryl. She had another ACTH at the 3 week mark (my vet's preferred timeline). Her pre was 3.9 and her post was 9.1. Since Sadie Sue is on...
Hi, Colleen! You probably don't remember me--it has been several years since I posted here re my journey with my beagles, Maggie and then Abbie. I am sure they greeted Ginger when she passed and...
Folks: I think I have earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records...Sadie Sue has confirmed Cushing's. Her post ACTH score was 27.6. Even her pre score was high at 6.5. She got her first...
Hi! Sorry for the delay in getting back here -- between getting situated in new home and all that entails plus trying to sort out things with Sadie Sue, I have been distracted. Sadie Sue had...
Hi, folks! I see familiar names among the moderators and, perhaps, some will remember me as the Mom to Cushing's beagles, Maggie and Abbie. A year after I had to let Abbie go I adopted Sadie Sue...
Hi! I wanted to add my "welcome" to you and Nugget. You have already received excellent guidance as well as the critical questions we ask of new members. I did want to add that vets who sell dog...
Hi! I am glad that Tiny's stool has returned to normal. With regard to your question about how often does a dose need to be changed, there is no set answer. Some dogs never have to have their dose...
Adding my prayers to others that Cloey's surgery and recovery go smoothly!
Vicki -- I am so, so glad that Ryder has come into your life at just the right time. I agree that Snugs and Brando had something to do with that. Ryder is so handsome and has great conformation --...
Folks: Curious if anyone is giving their pup a cranberry supplement ... Abbie is having frequent UTIs and, although the antibiotics help with the PU/PD, she doesn't want to eat (even though taking...
Hi and welcome to you and Fluke! Hopefully, you can follow the instructions re setting up an album and posting pics so we can see your handsome fellow. :D
If you have done any reading on the...
Hi and welcome to you and your pup! I am also looking forward to learning more about your girl. The more information that you can provide to us, the better we can focus on answering your questions...
Hi, Shana! Thanks for checking on us. Abbie has been on a roller coaster in terms of health -- she is now being treated for another UTI and an ear infection. She is eating very, very little --...
Susan -- I wanted to add my "welcome" to you and Happi! You both have really been through it. You have received some excellent guidance already. When deciding between a local IMS and the...
Morgan is just precious -- so sorry that you are both dealing with CC. I have been away from the forum for a bit but wanted to touch base.
My heart goes out to you during this most difficult of times. I am glad that you were able to spend Pinkie's last moments comforting her.
Carole -- another caution from me based on Abbie's recent history. She has IVDD (interverbral disc disease) and had frequent back leg collapses and a lot of pain upon stimulation of her lower back. ...
Carole -- my vet had me give Abbie two different antacids along with the amoxicillin. In the evening I gave her omeprazole (got best price from California Pet Pharmacy) and famotidine in the...
Hi -- I wanted to add my "welcome" to you and your pup (name?)! I agree that the 60 mg. a day sounds safer than the prescribed 120 -- did you discuss what you decided to do with your vet? Good...
