one thought... there is another form of Diabetes you may want to look into--- Diabetes Insipidus which is one of the many things our journey took us into. Its different than Diabetes Mellitus. Some...
Nothing to add except to say that is sounds like Stalin has some excellent and thorough Vet care. Very impressive.
Krystal, others will offer more help on evaluating numbers but I thought I'd add that IF its Cushings, many Dogs live good lives with it once Cortisol levels are controlled. There's admittedly lots...
Thanks Marianne. I don't always articulate things well but thats exactly what I was inferring.
Unfortunately, Veterinary care is about compromise (life, actually) and the ideal isn't always...
I agree 100%, Joan, that not testing isn't ideal.
Sorry to hear about the challenges. Just throwing this out there-- have you explored different retail options for Vetoryl? Chewy seems considerably less expensive. And our Vet was initially...
Amelia,
I will add one note-- in the US, one of the popular forms of a Mushroom supplement is K9 Immunity. I cannot tell you if their formula has the exact mushroom that was used in the Penn...
Can you order from Amazon in Greece? I believe you can. I would try to get your hands on Dr Dresslers Dog Cancer guide. He covers all of the supplements and holistic options he feels are relevant....
Thanks Amelia. Appreciate the insight on the UTI's. He has had urine cultures which continue to indicate an infection. He's on a month long course of antibiotics now. Poor guy has so much going...
Amelia,
I've read some of Dr Dresslers work on Cancer care for Dogs. There is a sea of information out there on Cancer care for Dogs and holisitics and he helps navigate thru alot of the stuff. ...
Haven't posted in awhile but feel like I should on this as its similar to what we are facing. Its difficult to discuss but I appreciate the kindness of this site and feel like I should contribute. ...
So we got Coopers two week test results, Marianne. Well, we got them informally over the phone from the Vets office. These are quotes from the Vet so I have absolutely no clue what they mean. "His...
thanks guys. Having a hard day. Noticing alot of circling the last few days with Cooper which leads us to think things may be evolving into a neurological deal w/ the Pituitary tumor growing. We...
Thanks Marianne. I have a sneaky suspicion that his UTI just isn't clearing. He has another few days of antibiotics to complete the 21d cycle (Doxycycline). Along with his ACTH, he'll get another...
Betsy's Mom,
I can't offer the expert advice that Marianne can provide but we are in the middle of treating a Cush Dog and have been thru alot. Still searching for something that helps our guy......
Thank you so much Marianne. Yes, we will hold on the 5mg. We don't want to do anything that disrupts the positive start on the lower dose.
thank you again!
Don't want to get too excited but things are FINALLY giving us some hope. I'm a "HOPE" guy so I tend to get too hopeful but I don't care, I'm going with it...
Cooper seems to be tolerating the...
I feel kind of dumb offering any advice as I'm just beginning to post out here on our Dog Cooper. So consider this more sharing of information on what I've observed.
Cooper has faced the shaking...
Thanks Marianne.
One area that concerns us a bit is the UTI that Cooper is currently being treated for. I believe UTI's are common for Cush Dogs so he can't be that unique. UTI's were the...
Thanks Joan, Jenni and Marianne. Vet agreed to move forward w/ getting him back going on 5mg of Vetoryl and we're super hopeful (though guarded) this week. If anyone believes in prayer, please cut...
Thank you so much Marianne for your kind reply. I've obviously come to a good place. Your comments on maybe needing an even smaller dose of Vetoryl are really inspiring. We had kind of written it...
Hi everyone.
Stumbled onto your forum, honestly cannot recall exactly where. i think I saw it mentioned in one of the countless product reviews I've looked at. But thank you for letting me post....
