hello cushings community im new my name is jasmine my k9 fur kid is kizzy 10 yrs old a sable brindle rarest color in poms but beautiful
she has had cushings for a few yrs my old ( trusted ) vet ignored it & her weight ect now im with a new vet she is not a tiny pom she used to stay around 12 pounds & has bolloned up to 17 .9 i was shocked i have multiple sclerosis & a back injury i can barely carry her
she has to be carried to potty & back cant walk far , she is a very special baby girl , i lost my mother 9 months ago & if not for my baby i dont think id of made it thru , of course my new vet wants to go the normal route with cushings id had my misgivings on that & not sure i want to put her thru it & not sure if i can afford it but thats seconondary , i been ding research & i bought a natural product called supraglan & im praying & hoping its the miracle we need i will post her progress today was day # 1
kizzy used to have chronic skin infections & was treated with prednisone a lot , i changed her diet to evo small bite no grains no more infections over 2 yrs , she has bumps on her skin fron cushings a weak back end , constant panting day & nite , with short rest periods inbetween , drinks alot i keep a closed bowl of water bedside & offer it thru the nite some nites we dont enough sleep
she consumes excess water & of course wen she pees its a puddle
she has been pad trained since 6 wks old but in last year she refuses to go on pad she will wait to go out side i had to pad train because of my m/s i cldnt walk for 9 months started walking with forarm cruthes wen i got kizzy so i couldnt carry her withher weigt gain its hard carring her , she has an odd texture to her hair vet said was related to cushings , she is graying more , her symptoms are constant , she has a big belly , in addition to her cushings
she has luxating p[atelas back knees pop in & out of place, she has a collapsing trachea , she has severe arthritis head to tail
if i could just decreasehe panting & water intake & get some weight off her & bet her back end stronger id be happy
does any one have tips on how to reduce weight in cushings ? & also does any one have any experience with supraglan natural cushings product ? im looing for a natural holistic , natural , homeopathy vet
i am in the area of ft worth texas i found a vet but she had a baby & not taking new patients ???? rrrr i highly reccomend get insurance on your dog wen a puppy , my vet said kizzy wldnt qualify because of her congenital diseasess ? i wish id not believed her on any thing , she ignored cushings for a few years i even brought it up a few x , also if any one knows of a good book ect on cushings let me know please jasmine i hope & pray all your babies do good !!
