Dear Terri,
Just wanted to say how thankful we are things worked out okay, and send lots of ear rubs to Corky and a big hug to you. You and Corky have always been a bright light in this dark tunnel...

I posted on your thread. Only differnce with Simon's neurologist was that he said he could do a muscle biopsy, but could pretty much rule out the need for one based on his bloodwork. Everything...

Dear Sonja and Apollo,
With Simon, I am in exactly the same place as you are with Apollo. Although it sounds like Apollo at least does not have front leg muscle atrophy like Simon does. His...

Thank you all so much for your support, and for your prayers. I have six JRTs and an Anatolian Shepherd (the youngest in my pack) who will be four in February. I think someone said something about...

Interesting. I will definitely have more to say about this, once I am in a mental place where I can say more. Simon has had the UTK test done before he was on trilostane, and then recently. I will...

Likewise from Simon, and my pack to you and Franklin - may you celebrate every moment and here's to many more joyous years and celebrations together!
Love,
Dena and the pack :):):)

:):)Dear Sonja and Apollo,
Don't read my thread on this joyous day for you. I am actually feeling some vicarious joy for you and don't want you to feel anything but happy today (and don't worry, we...

Just thought I'd let you know Simon's Mom's name was Tiny too - and his Dad was named "Tex". I never got his papers from the breeders, though they promised them to me, they moved out of town days...

Warning: Please do not read this if you are overwhelmed with your own dog and your own problems, which I totally understand, can relate to, and think this might just depress you too - I use this as a...

So, not long after I posted I got the phone call I was expecting from Simon's primary Vet, T.K., and he said all of Simon's numbers are getting better, except for the hormones, which are pretty off...

We are feeling very good about this too! Simon is getting ready to do his happy dance for Corky where he rolls over and pushes himself around the bed on his back and then ends it with a bow! I just...

Dear Melanie and Mila,

I am sorry it has been so long since I checked back. Boy have you been through the wringer since then! I hope and pray things are going better for you and your girl. I...

Dear Debbie,
I also haven't been here for a while, and did not know of your loss until just now. This really put my problems in a different perspective. I am crying as I type, Harley was a brave...

Dear Sonja and Apollo,
I just want you to know that I really know how you feel. Apollo and Simon are doing very much the same. You and I have similar questions and worries. I understand your...

I just wanted to let you all know that I truly appreciate your prayers, your concern, and support. It would be very hard to get through this without that, and I have an abundance of it here, for...

Dear Kim,

There is nothing to forgive of course, my memory has never been good - even in High School when we had to memorize things, I never could quite make the mark, and age and stress certainly...

Dear Terri,
So sorry to hear about the growing of the tumor. I do not know a lot about this disease yet, but I think a well known Veterinary Endocrinologist said that the adrenal glands themselves...

Praying for you and Apollo too. I think I wish it was joints, I think that would be easier to deal with than entire muscle mass missing. The only way I noticed was that I have another Jack Russell...

Hi Kim,

Well found out how bad the hind legs are today, Simon's third test on trilostane was today, and is also being sent to Dr. Oliver again. His hind legs are so bad that T.K. told me he "does...

Thank you all for being so supportive and kind. I find it encouraging that Apollo's pot belly is going away or gone. I think that has to do with muscle which is my main question too ... I am also...

I have to tell you it is the first encouraging thing I noticed (for me) in your thread that Apollo's pot belly is gone - because I think that is a good sign about muscle. I might be wrong, but I...

I noticed a moderator bumped this up, but there wasn't an answer (by the way, hi - I also have a 12 year old Jack Russell) my dog has been on Trilostane - starting at a low dose, which has been...

I see that I got it backwards completely.
Thank you to Frijole for letting me know first privately, I appreciate it. So I guess that is a big nevermind and oops sorry! from me. That was my moment...

Hi Lori and Harley,
I am thinking about switching to Lyso from trilo too, noticed that you did so without making much noise about it here - actually I don't see why you changed or when, so I was...

Dear Marianne,
Thank you for both of the recent posts. I really got the understanding that I need out of them. I hate this disease. I worry that while every vet in town was scaring me out of...
