Alivia was recently diagnosed with Cushing's - Alivia has passed

Yup, I would do and have done almost the same thing

Mary Beth, I am going to give Julie a link to your thread. She is trying to get Hannah out of her cone, I think Hannah is about the same age as Alivia.

I am thrillled little Ali has no sore butt any more and I am hoping Julie will have success as well.

HAPPY FOURTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mary Beth,

I'm so glad to hear Alivia is doing so well! Such great news! It's always such a wonderful feeling to see them feeling good again after long bouts of problems.

I may have to start building an Ark soon. We have had thunderstorms every day for weeks, but today was the worst. We had a lot of flash flooding all around Pittsburgh and my area got hit pretty hard this morning and then again a little while ago. There were even a few nearby tornados that touched down - fortunately that part missed me! Other than a little water in my basement and Maxwell refusing to go outside (he's gonna burst, soon!), we're okay! I may have spoken too soon...the thunder has started again!

I saw a huge mass of storms heading for Pittsburgh this afternoon. Stay safe!! We had a flood here in Toronto on Monday. Awful. We're still recovering and one of my friends only got power back today. Some lights and subway stations still out though. High ground is to be coveted!

Sorry to hear that MB, it must be the same weather system that hit Sharlene in Toronto.

It has been a crazy summer so far with all the storms, we finally are to get a break from them for a week, I think. Maybe you will as well.

How are Ali and Maxwell doing? Are they afraid of the storms? Maxwell is like Koko, "you want me to do what and get wet?":
Koko is turning into a prima donna drama queen for sure. I know it is my own dang fault for spoiling him so.

Stay dry

Please send some of that rain out to Southern California! We desperately need it! Considering all the rain you have had, an ark wouldn't be a bad idea. Poor Maxwell, I would not want to go outside either! Big hugs to you both!

[MBK]

Sharlene, I am actually at the top of a hill, so that has helped me a lot! Others have it much worse, so I am feeling pretty fortunate.

Kathy, I would LOVE to send some of this rain out to you...but it comes with THICK humidity, too! I hope you guys get a reasonable amount of rain soon!

Addy, Alivia is completely unfazed by the storms. They've never bothered her but it probably doesn't hurt that she is almost deaf now, either! Max, is another story. He trembles uncontrollably, refuses to eat anything (he would turn done filet mignon and has!) and won't go outside for anything. Thank goodness for pee pads. That's my loveable Maxwell who acts like a tough guy until a thunderstorm! He is going to be next at the vet's, too. He is having a greenish discharge from his eyes. He was there a couple months ago for it and they gave him drops. He hated the drops and acted like they burned but it helped a little. It's back and seems a little worse now. And, he is sleeping more than usual. Always something...

[molly muffin]

Oh poor Maxwell. What was causing the discharge? Sounds like an infection if it's greenish doesn't it.

Storm split my house today and we didn't get the rain. It went on both sides of us just by a few miles though. I'll take it!

I thought an infection because of it being thick and green. My vet, who has never been wrong, suspected a seasonal allergy type thing. I'm thinking he might be wrong this one time and maybe Max needs a course of antibiotics. Other than sleeping a bit more, he doesn't seem bothered by it, though. But, I certainly don't want it to effect his vision.

Glad the storm missed you, Sharlene!! It's nice to have some good luck anywhere we can get it!

[molly muffin]

yea, even if it was caused by allergies, since it's green, it does seem to have turned into an infection. So, could be you are both right in this case. But I'd want antibiotics for it too. Gosh knows you don't need any long term problems.

Stay dry!!
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
