Greetings, all!
Before I get into a long post, I need to know that no one will judge Tiva's family for not actively treating her Cushings...that's a horrible way to start. My apologies.
I've been reading all of your stories for so long, I know that you are a warm and caring community. I can't count the number of times I've laughed and cried with everyone here over the years, so you're practically family to me. Guess I should've introduced myself long ago, given that feeling.
As a quick intro: I'm Tiva's mom. She's blessed with two, and an extended family that thinks the world of her, but I've been her mom since she was contemplating just how she would make her grand entrance into this world...from my lifelong best friend's furry kid.
:-D
Tiva is 13 years and 8 months today (it's after midnight, so that counts...every minute counts) and still amazing. Gorgeous yellow lab / chow / mix with the most amazing soul and attitude to spare.
She was first diagnosed 5.5 years ago, and we decided not to treat heavily, due to her already fairly-severe arthritis.
That's all for until I hear that it's okay with the group to go this route (treating mostly via diet and supplements). I'm just afraid she's about to leave us, and don't know what to do...
