Hi Lori,

Thanks. What did you feed Harley? I just recently switched Max to The Honest Kitchen (dehydrated). I wanted him off kibble anyway. I may choose to cook for him though. I'm really hoping...

Hi Leslie! This helps a lot. Thank you so much for responding and for the info. I'll be sure to check it out! Luckily, Max hasn't hit a crisis yet. Hoping we can get a diagnosis and treatment plan...

Hi. I haven't been here in awhile. This group was a tremendous help to me when my Brandy had Cushings many years ago. I now have a 9 yo male rescued boxer, Max. He possibly has Addison's - we still...

Lori, I haven't been on here much since I lost my Brandy in November of 2010. I'm so sorry for your loss of Harley. He and Brandy are running around together, along with all the other pups, at the...

Hi Glynda,

Thank you so much for thinking of me on my birthday. That was so sweet. I do come here every once in awhile. I miss Brandy everyday. She left a huge hole in my heart. Coming here has...

Lori,

I just read and I am so very sorry for your loss of Harley. You were such a good mom. He was a very special little boy. I know I can't say anything that can make it better, but you have a...

I just wanted to take a moment to thank every one who took the time to view Brandy's tribute and wish her a Happy Birthday. It means the world to me. Thank you for welcoming me back and all your...

Lori,

I just read up on Harley and I'm so sorry he hasn't been feeling well. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Harley. Enjoy every minute of everyday you have together.

Hello friends. I haven't been here in a while, but you were such a huge part of our lives during the last year of Brandy's life. I can't thank you enough for all the support you have shown. I have...

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the overwhelming support. I have read every post several times and I am speechless at how amazing you all have been through this difficult...

I can't believe I'm writing this, but you all have been such a huge support to me throughout all this and you deserve to know. Brandy is gone. She left me yesterday. She was doing so good and got...

Thank you again everybody for the warms thoughts, prayers, support and information. I can't tell you how much it has helped me through this. Brandy is getting a little better each day. She is...

Thank you Marianne and everybody. It's been a little crazy catching up on everything.

Brandy is home where she belongs :) She was released Friday night. They did another ultrasound and said...

Thank you all for the thoughts, prayers and support. It means the world to me. The first day she was admitted I brought back her bed and pillow, my blanket and a toy so she would feel comfortable...

I just wanted to give an update on Brandy. Right now she is in ICU fighting for her life. She stopped eating Sunday morning and was completely lethargic so I brought her to the ER and they said she...

Angela,

Thank you and I don't think you're harping. I need harping!! I do hate all this confusion though. I want to trust the IMS. I like him because he always says the most important thing...

Here are her ALT and ALP numbers for the past year and a half (most recent first):

11/02/10
ALT 507 (10-118)
ALP 2800+ (20-150)
Spec cPL 438

10/21/10
ALT 849
ALP 2000+

I have never been so confused :confused:

Brandy had her "house call" appointment yesterday with a new regular vet. I liked him. He spent a lot of time with us and we went through her complete...

I now know why I haven't heard from the IMS. He is having his own emergency and has been in the hosptal with his wife :( So, the ER vet Brandy saw last week called me back instead. We have sort of...

Thank you again Angela. I am so sorry you had to go through that with Randall. Reading it brought tears to my eyes. I am so glad he recovered. He sounds like a very special little guy :)
...

Hi Angela and Randall,

Brandy has been on Milk Thistle. I had to stop the Sam E because it interacts with Tramadol, which she is on for pain management. Do you think it's better to give her the...

Hi Lori, Thank you, as always. Her poop still has a little orangish tinge to it, but it looks so much better.

I forgot to mention that I haven't given her any Lysodren in 3 weeks either, but I'm...

Hello:

I haven't posted in a while because Brandy was doing so well. She had a slight set back and is slowly recovering. I'll start from the beginning.

Her stools started to get real soft,...

Hi Jason,

Unfortunately with Brandy being diagnosed with Atypical Cushing's I did not have the option of Anipril or Trilostane. I could either treat her with Lysodren or Ketoconazole. I chose...

Yes, Brandy was exactly like that. She was always a lap dog as you know boxers can be :) I actually had to purchase a dog bed for her for the first time ever because I felt so bad she was just...
