    Re: It's Sparky:Sparky is in the hospital

    I have no idea how to navigate this community. I can't even find why Sparky went into the hospital, and I'm unsure on which dog I am commenting on. If I have erred, I am sorry. This is the...

    Re: It's Sparky:Sparky is in the hospital

    Let us know about Sparky. My dog, a Shih Tzu, 12, was dxd last May with Cushings. He's been on Trilostane and was doing so well, his numbers were great, he wasn't panting, etc. Then six weeks ago...
  3. Re: Cushings and lymphoma for Jett - 12 y/o Shih Tzu; initial dx, Cushings, now lymph

    Thank you, Kim!!! I am so sorry about Haley - where can I read your profile? Your user name is "Frijole", right? I see by the picture you have a Schnauzer, correct? I am so flying by the seat of...
  4. Cushings and lymphoma for Jett - 12 y/o Shih Tzu; initial dx, Cushings, now lymphoma

    I took Jett in after his first week on the COPS protocol started last Monday, 4/18 - a Vincristine infusion, and chemo for lymphoma, recently discovered by me, with enlarged lymph nodes under his...
  5. Re: Jett, 11 year old Shih Tzu (Trilostane); Now lymphoma

    I am taking Jett to Dr. Norman tomorrow, for a blood draw. We are trying to find out if he has "T" type, or "B" type" lymphoma. I guess "T" type is really bad news. Are there any other members...
  6. Re: Jett, 11 year old Shih Tzu (Trilostane); Now lymphoma

    Well, I did find it after all, Marianne! Thank you! I am sitting here just sighing - it's only been about 10 hours since I got the bad news. I will know more next week when we send a blood sample...
  7. Re: Jett, 11 year old Shih Tzu (Trilostane); Now lymphoma

    Hi Marianne!

    Thank for your help on this site - I was able to find my posts from last year, but not the one I posted tonight. I don't see the "jump forums" on a drop down menu - do you mean on...
  8. Re: Psycho - 12 y/o poodle (Just diagnosed; trilostane)

    Hello everyone! My name is Sheila and I was on this site last year when my then 11 year old Shih Tzu was diagnosed with Cushings Disease. We found it on a Senior blood test; he has been treated...
  9. Re: Apollo-Trilostane(Vetoryl)

    My Shih Tzu was diagnosed with Cushings in May. We started him out on Trilostane - but after an initial good reponse, it stopped working after three weeks. My vet thinks it broke down. It was the...
  10. Re: Jett, 11 year old Shih Tzu with new Cushing's diagnosis on Trilostane

    Hi Lori!

    I wish I could post an avatar of the dogs, but I don't know how to! My vet thinks Jett has "white coat" syndrome too, but it wouldn't surprise me if the real reason is that this Shih Tzu...
  11. Re: Jett, 11 year old Shih Tzu with new Cushing's diagnosis on Trilostane

    Dear Lori;

    Thanks for your response. I used the wrong term - Jett doesn't have capsules, he has a liquid I squirt into his mouth with a syringe, and it is .33 cc's I guess. .33 is the number I...
  12. Re: 11 year old Shih Tzu with new Cushing's diagnosis on Trilostane

    I also forgot - Jett is on .33 mg. of Trilostane, but as I said earlier, the vet called yesterday and said his cortisol levels were way up again. He consulted with a Cushings expert, and she...
  13. Re: 11 year old Shih Tzu with new Cushning's diagnosis on Trilostane

    Oh, I forgot - he weighs about 25 pounds, way overweight, his littermate Puck weighs 16 pounds. Jett had a senior blood panel on '08, and then in May of this year (last month) and the vet saw...
  14. Re: 11 year old Shih Tzu with new Cushning's diagnosis on Trilostane

    Debbie - thank you so much! Please have patience, I'm just learning this - I will try to scan his labs this weekend - although I don't have the ones from Wednesday yet!

    Blessings,
    She:o
  15. Re: 11 year old Shih Tzu with new Cushning's diagnosis on Trilostane

    Thank you for your reply! I got bad news today - my Jett had another panel done - blood - several taken over a time period, and while he was 5.6 for Cortisol two weeks ago, after two weeks of...

    Re: Checking in for June 2010

    Hi Haf!

    My consolations on your loss; was Kira a Cushings dog? It is so neat that you rescued a dog - that's what I'm going to do in the future! I have a Shih Tzu age 11, diagnosed last month...
