Hi all, foster girl with Cushing's

[medusa]

Thank you again Marianne.

I know these exams are useless, and i am so angry cause Lucy was stressed for nothing and i still have to pay for the right exams. The only thing that i know for sure is that I ll never go back to that clinic again.

Ηι all, just an update from sweet Lucy.
She had no improvement with cushing's , just the same, but unfortunately her leishmaniasis got worse, she was bleeding from nose last days, a usual sign of advanced leishmaniasis. We did some blood work for that and also for cushings . I am afraid she will need to take miltofesin along with vetoryl,, I am afraid how her tiny body will respond with 2 strong meds that have a lot side effects.

The only happy news is that i officially adopted her and she will be part of our family and i ll not have to worry about her future any more.

Hope you are all ok. Matina

Oh Matina, it makes my heart sing to know that Lucy is now officially yours!!! Bless you for all the love and care that you give her. I’m so sorry, though, to hear that the leishmaniasis seems to be worsening. I’m sending all hopes and healing wishes for her recovery, and we’ll always be here for you if you just want to talk things over.

Please give Lucy many gentle hugs from her family here,
Marianne

Hi all! Marianne thank you again for you nice words. I feel much better and relaxed now that Lucy is part of our family and i know she ll always be safe and have the care she needs.

She finally had an ultrasound and also did some extra some blood work , including electrolytes (no vet told as before) . Electrolytes were all in normal levels which vet suggested is a good sign that the dosage is still ok.
The ultrasound findings were as i was expecting

( I tried to translate from greek as best as i could)
-Hepatomegaly
-Symmetric enlargement of the adrenal glands
-Findings of gallbladder mucocele.
-Chronic pancreatitis.
-Possible degeneration of the splenic parenchyma (haemosiderin deposition).

We had seen signs of pancreatitis last 2-3 months so she is already on special diet (kibbles for pancreatitis and low fat food only)

Good news, her kidneys were fine, so the leishmaniosis is not affecting her organs yet.

Hope you are all ok. Matina
