new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

[goldengirl88]

I am so happy Ian is able to celebrate today. Tipper is sitting only a few minutes at a time so that picture may be a while yet. Hoping I an enjoyed his chicken roll. Never heard of those, are they fresh or dried? It is below zero here today, so no walking. Tipper has laser therapy today so we have to go out. ACTH testing tomorrow! Blessings

hi patti, those rolls are dried. i found them on a site by accident. ian loves them, and that is exceptional because he is such a picky eater. i just ordered 3 more bags. there is a little dried fish inside, looks funny!
and he ate his pills today...
hope the weather is ok tomorrow in your area.
how is tippers leg after the laser-treatment today?
hope tippers numbers are ok and that it means no more testing for a long time.

Hi Iris, maybe you find this link from Laboklin Lab useful? Background is that we have a Synacthen shortage in Europe(which will hopefully end in June this year) and Laboklin established some parameters to work around the ACTH testing- Shortlink: http://tinyurl.com/pej75uo

What site did you get those rolls on? Tipper was really good at laser therapy yesterday, the therapist commented on how much better she is walking. Yesterday she started her Jack Russell jumps and I had to run across the kitchen and stop her. The therapist said she must be feeling good to do that, and knows I will never be able to stop her from doing that as it is inherent in the breed. She will be having a new picture taken soonnasmher haircut is going faster than I anticipated. Tipper wants to know how Ian liked his birthday? I hope he continues on this path of doing well. How is the weather today? Blessings

thank you eva, i have read it.
since i don't have the money to test , i watch my dog closely how he is doing on a low dosage of vetoryl. and he is doing fine so far.
if anything changes for the worse, i will take him to the vet, but so far, so good!

hi patti, the weather is doing fine so far. cold nights with some fog, but spring temp. during the day.
i order those rolls at a site called; zooplus. they have lots of dried natural snacks. i can send you some if you want to try them out.
and tipper, we walked along the river on ian's birthday. and he ate some extra snacks. i am glad that your leg is doing better. mine are a bit stiff.
i am off to my comforter now. greetz ian.

That is such a nice gesture wanting to send Tipper some snacks, but I do not want you to have to do that. I will go online and look at that site. Tipper does eat one dried treat. It's all natural dried green tripe. It sounds horrible, but is supposed to be very good for them. Ian sounds like he enjoyed his birthday. I pray Tipper celebrates her 13th. I am not feeling too well this morning so it is going to be an easy day. I must go out Friday and get Vetoryl for Tipper. It is always something, I have never been stretched out with money, before this Cushing's it is certainly an very expensive disease to diagnose, and treat. Blessings

flynn loved those dried green tripe rolls, but ian does not want them anymore, too big i quess, too much work.
ian's and enya's treats are;
65% protein
only 1% fat
it is from germany.
lots of people buy e.g. a Bomann DR435CB it is an electric food drier. you can air-dry anything in it. meat, fish, fruit etc. whatever your dogs like to snack. costs only 30 dollars or so. 100% natural.
i hope you had some rest today and will have a good night sleep.
[can't they send the vetoryl to you, so you don't have to make a trip to the vet?]
bedtime for me now.

Great day today Tipper walked twice. She seems tired out as she is not used to it. She is steadily losing weight too which is good. I need to get her dose straightened out as her cortisol was high like I thought? Hope your weather I good, tomorrow we get snow here. How is Ian doing? Blessings
Patti

[flynnandian]

it sounds as if tipper has a good day today. two walks! she has to exercise to be back in shape i quess after such a long time indoors.
hopefully the weather wil cooperate. and loosing weight will help too.
did you hear anything about grace again?
ian loves his walks in this high temp. maybe this sunday i will drive to the seaside..........small country-only one hour drive.
sleep well every body.
