" Inside of A Dog What Dogs See, Smell and Know" by Alexandra Horowitz Copyright 2009
I saw this book in paperback at Costco and after flipping throughout it, decided to check it out at...
Everyone loves a Good Dog Book, right? Many people have probably read Jon Katz, as he has written a least a dozen books about his dogs.
"IZZY & LENORE" is the book that I just finished. The...
Thats a pretty interesting web site. I do Yoga and found lots of good stuff. Thanks for posting.

We measure water most days, but I can tell by the sound her collar charm makes when it his the pyrex water bowl as Lucy drinks how long she is at the bowl. Ding..Ding.. Ding.. It's kinda handy...
Update on Lucy
Latest ACTH pre 7.3
post 8.7
This was done on Lysodren 625mg / week
She is eating/drinking too much so I wasn't surprised by those numbers.
We are...
Lucy's coat came back different. It is thicker and her brindle is gone, but replaced with lots of gray. I put a hair oil on her that I bought for myself and didn't like ( Ojon). It smells like...
Darn the luck. I feel your disappointment. I like it when bad things can just be cut out of the body and be done with, rather than all this medicine tweaking up and down.
Hope you feel better....
I think lower is better … but that's just based on my one dog experience. Lucy is 17lbs and she was taking 40mg. It just didn't do it. I was thinking about going up to 50mg when we decided to...
Just stopping in to say Hi … I was looking at threads that had Lysodren mini load in then and read your story. Wow! You are one tough Mama Dog. Wish I had some magic to send your way….all I have...
Sweet Zoe. Run happy and free now. You were a wonderful girl to bring your family so much joy.
Thanks Debbie,
I do think her cortex regenerated in a blink of an eye and I missed it. She was starting to bark at her food bowl for about a week before I caught on … I thought she was just...
Thanks Lori, I wondered about that because people talk about a 'mini load", not just a dose increase. If the loading dose is supposed to erode the adrenal cortex, then I'm assuming if the...
I see what you are seeing….. on my signature line below. Her induction was for 15 days taking 125mg am and 125 pm for 15 days, and then after that cutting down to 125mg 3 times a week. Maybe I...
I think in regards to dry vs wet…its kind of like acne. Some people say dry it out and some people say keep it soft. Trial and error I guess.

Dear Cosmo Man, Your family will miss you and your on-line family will miss you too! You had a good life and were well loved. Be free now.

Hi Crystal
Thanks for checking in on Lucy. Hope you are doing well with your new Bug!
I'm going with the idea that the seizure happened because her cortisol levels were up but haven't seen...
Hi,
I always like to say hello to all the Bostons's….which seem to be unfortunately magnets for this disease.
Did you get your new ACTH?
I'm so used to a dog that eats everything in...
Good ol Cosmo. May there always be room for you on the couch and food in your bowl. May your bed be sprinkled with moon dust and sweet dreams.
Shelly and Lucy
Hi,
I'm just now reading your thread from the beginning…my heart was pounding! Hope things are better now. Here's my nickels worth of thoughts….
My dog was on Vetoryl but without good...
Just stopping in to say hi. You are lucky you have a friend that is a vet tech. I just read your story and have a few random comments.
Lucy's first two vets…I didn't feel very comfortable...
I float my bottle of ear drops in a cup of warm water for a few minutes first. And then the hot pack on that ear. Ahh…
It is warm in Phoenix but the air pollution and pollen are so bad it equals...
Kim, thank you. I mentioned to her Vet about the seizures and she said same as you did… She said to keep a log of them and probably no action will be needed unless they increase to more than one a...
Oh My Gosh :eek: I can't believe these numbers.
ACTH Pre 6
ACTH Post 19!
That explains why her eating and drinking have been off the charts ( and so is her output ). Looking back, I think...
Thanks Lori. I don't think I ever posted her LDDS.
It was pre 10.3.
post 4 hour 4.6
post 8 hour 8.5
Less than 1.5 ug/dL consistent with pituitary dependent.
That was done11/11/2013 after...
I think that sounds sweet…arranging her bed with her toys on it. If it brings you peace when you look at it and not pain, then that's good. You can let them go when you're ready. Its odd to think...
