    Still doing the same things. She has fallen off the couch a few times in the last few days. Otherwise still doing the same.

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    Still plugging away. Still giving regular baths. This is being done with love. Still unsure as to pursuing more testing and possible treatment. Our biggest concern is the scavenging. We hate to...

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    I've been reading some other threads and doing a lot of thinking, mulling, and just plain wondering. We have been chasing the itching thing for so long and gone to 4 different vets who practice...

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    We got the call from the vet today and her Thyroid panel from MSU came back perfectly normal. We don't know how to feel about that. I guess we do another LDDS to check the cortisol. It seems like...

    Re: Vet Refuses to start on lower dosage

    All I can say is Wow. I would definitely do what you are doing and seeking care elsewhere.
  6. Re: Stella - 10 year old Corgi/American Eskimo mix

    My heart goes out to both of you. The Cushing's journey is one of ups and downs until you aren't on it and every day you will wish you still were. When you are up to it I'd love to hear some of...
  7. Re: Stella - 10 year old Corgi/American Eskimo mix

    I am sorry you had to find us, but glad you did. There can be several reasons for this. I can not read the numbers like some of the folks can, and I am not as well versed in dosing. I can say the...

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    Ginger had a good weekend. We decided to have her thyroid tested at MSU. She goes in for her blood draw this afternoon. Thanks again for the MSU info Marianne. When I went to the Test Catalog and...
  9. Re: UTI + Overnight blindness + then sudden dementia like symptoms + Cushings dx

    Our IMS (internal medicine specialist) for our other dog was not too much more expensive than our primary vet. This was 4-6 years ago though.

    The first visit might have been, but I know the...
  10. Re: UTI + Overnight blindness + then sudden dementia like symptoms + Cushings dx

    I too am not a Vet and won't pretend to know what is best. All I can do is share my experiences. I have only had 4 dogs. One in childhood for a few months. The other three have all been in...
  11. Re: UTI + Overnight blindness + then sudden dementia like symptoms + Cushings dx

    My heart aches for your struggles. Don't feel stupid about questioning the vet. We all do it. It is the only way we can advocate for our furkids. It might be time to get a second opinion, or talk...

    Hi all,
    Ok let me see if I can get all this in.

    Thank you for the info about Melissa, the very simplified versions of what you went through with your furkids regarding adrenal sizes, and...

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    Claire,
    I appreciate the insight Claire. I didn't realize poodles and bichons could be so predisposed to skin issues. Did you find she got a lot more of them from seemingly nowhere while she was...

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    Hi Everyone,
    We just got off the phone with the vet once again. She said if her system were producing cortisol because of the tumor it wouldn't be producing as much as would be needed to see the...
  15. Re: Lena, Teacup Poodle w/ adrenal tumor - Lena is now an angel

    I don't know if it ever gets easier. My girl has been gone a little over 4 years. I still tear up almost every time I talk about her. Know you are not the only one Joan.

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    The more I mull things over and think on it I am really wondering about the Thyroid levels. She sleeps a lot more than she use to and I know her hair thinning can also be attributed to that too. ...

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    Thanks for everyone who has weighed in. We got a call about a 7:30 pm about the urine cytology. The findings came back inconclusive to TCC. I was hoping this would give us more answers about the...
  19. Re: UTI + Overnight blindness + then sudden dementia like symptoms + Cushings dx

    A lot of the human ones have formulas and I don't trust those since I don't know all of the parts. We have been using Solaray Quercitin Non Citrus.

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    Here is our latest.

    So we spoke to the vet. I asked about Thyroid issues, she said Cushing's would alter the Thyroid levels so there wasn't really a point in further testing. I brought up the...

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    Thank you. I will try and get a picture of her in the next few days. Most of the ones I put in are after grooming, which we don't have done anymore and try to do ourselves. Operative word. Try.

  22. Re: UTI + Overnight blindness + then sudden dementia like symptoms + Cushings dx

    Unrelated to Cushing's but we give our dog Quercitin. I didn't know it was an anti-Cancer/prevention, we give it to her for allergies.

    Re: Ginger-16 yo Poochon (Bichon Poodle mix)

    Thanks for the info on the Braf test Claire. I don't know if we would opt for chemotherapy. Ginger seems very sensitive to almost everything. We just had an ultrasound done and there was a nodule...
  25. Re: UTI + Overnight blindness + then sudden dementia like symptoms + Cushings dx

    I am so sorry you are in such a state of unknowing and panic. I have never done much with voice to text, so I can't advise you there. The only way to get pictures that I know of is to make an album...
