Hello everyone,
My name is Iraklis from Athens,Greece.
Up until recently i was the father of 2 former stray male dogs...
One is Lemmy and is healthy as one can be...
The other was Husko...and his story i want to share here...as soon as i find the strentgh and some clarity to write his story in detail...
Thank you for this wonderful and helpful forum!
P.S. English is not my mother tongue so please forgive me if anything is spelled wrong.
So far, you're doing well :)
Welcome, and I hope that you share soon because it does help many people work through the grief of losing a beloved family member.
Welcome from me too. I would love to hear your story about your Husko once you are able. Please do not feel alone in your grief, we are all here for you, and we want to help. Blessings
Patti
Welcome Iraklis. We would love to hear the story of you and Husko and Lemmy.
Your English is just fine.

Welcome. Thank you for trusting us with Husko's story, for trusting us with your joy and your pain. Breath deep, take your time. Husko understands as do we.
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
Husko was a stray husky...
He was found in the city of Larissa by a kind young woman in 2010...
This is the first picture we have of him
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6432
(btw, when you see a date the order is dd/mm/yyyy)
He was 19kg (42lbs) ...and probably 7-8yo
He was being fed there by some people but many were abusive and hurting him.
He had the tendency to eat paper to ease his hunger...
Was taken to the vet and diagnosed with heart-worm disease.
Went through treatment (2 shots of the medication...the vet said it was a miracle he was still alive),got neutered
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6434
and finally outside
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6435
Was fostered by some good people (the dog the young woman has didn't want Husko around) until he found a good home.
Here's a pic from a foster home...
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6436
Was adopted in January but returned days later...don't know why...again was fostered by some good people...
Fortunately there are many pictures of this period in time (i was never a person taking many pictures and i regret that i don't have many many pictures and videos of our life together...
What a very sad life this poor baby had. I cannot imagine him eating paper because he was hungry. This story is heart breaking, and I am so glad you have him the home he deserved. I am happy that he did experience love, and finally had a person of his own to live out his life with. Blessings
Patti
I adopted him May 2011...
It had been 8 years since my last baby died due to kidney failure,
and i was sooooo happy to have a furbaby again...
btw,His fur had been shaved and allowed to grow again ,because it had been matted after 7-8 years in the streets.
This is our first picture together...
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6433
and this is his first video in my house same day...
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...type=3&theater
I remember Husko waking me up at 05:00 the next day ,to take him outside to pee......As he wasn't with me for a long time and i woke up abruptly i thought i suddenly saw a wolf in front of me and for a moment got a scare... :)
I was sooo happy being the parent of a dog again after so many years...
Going for walks...
giving his meal&water...
petting his head&neck (if you extended your arm, he poked it with his head and force you to pet his head) ,
our first visit to the vet ,
trying to teach him basic commands...(He already knew to ''sit''...managed to teach him ''down'' and ''leave it'' too...got bitten in the process of the latter too...and as a Husky he listened to ''come'' whenever he wanted though... :)) ,
playing whenever he wanted ,
sleeping wherever he wanted (he never wanted an actual 'sleeping place in the house...favorite spot was the balcony during the summer) ,
being greeted at the door (whenever he felt like it...many times he was busy with himself or sleeping :) or checking/watching the neighbors out on the balcony...) ,
.......the simple things we all know and love to do...
I am sorry but I tried on 2 computers, and cannot bring up these pictures. It simply says the page is no longer available. I am glad you are sharing this story with us. Each one of these dogs deserves remembrance at the very least. I will continue to watch for any more of your postings. The people on here really do know the deep connection and sorrow you feel over the loss of Husko. Blessings
Patti
Loving the story of Husko. :)
So happy you found each other.
You can create an album for Husko on here and directly upload your photos to it.
It's under your profile. Let us know if you need any help with it.

A week later I found Lemmy while taking Husko for a walk...
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6442
he followed me home...
I thought i would neuter/vaccinate him and give him for adoption...
Lemmy being a young devil had other plans...
He would be a handful to most people and I feared he wouldn't find a proper home so...our family grew...
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6439http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6438http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6441
I thought it would be better if they had each other and played...
Actually Husko always was a bit of a 'prince' and ignored all dogs as if they weren't there...
Lemmy wanted to play and annoyed Husko all the time...they sometimes played though...playing always stopped when Husko bit&grabbed Lemmy by his ear and bring him to me while Lemmy whined...
Loving Husko and families story. The pictures are great! thank you
Sharlene and molly muffin
Husko never liked water and thunders.
It was funny and cute how he left the balcony and came near my bed to sleep whenever a thunder struck...
I also remember feeling puzzled seeing him go near a lake and stepping in water ,as he hated being bathed, only to see him appear behind the bushes with a duck in his teeth...:eek:
(of course i managed to release the duck and set her free)
One time he lunged at someones face (actually the sandwhich in front of his mouth) and I panicked and shouted hard at him...also implemented the Cesar Millan 'bite to the neck' in order he NEVER does this again...I was scared someone might sue us and he'd be euthanized...never did anything remotely similar thankfully...
btw, first year both were fed 'Bosch adult' then 'Cibau adult' ,all 2012 both were fed 'Orijen adult/senior' (funds improved) and early 2013 'Applaws adult'...summer 2013 onwards is a future story...
On September 19th i took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with erlichiosis...(refused to eat his normal food and only accepted raw Turkey for 3 days...thought he was just getting picky...than on the 4rth day refused anything and in a very bad mood so i took his temperature and it was 42 Celsius...went to the vent first thing in the morning the next day)...all went well after 2 shots (days apart) and a month of Vibramycin (if i remember correctly).
Days/weeks/months passed...going for walks...hanging at the park with some friends ,many times all night long during the summer.
Though I am regretting now and feel guilty for every single walk or even minute of walks not had because of bad weather or being dead-tired from work...
I should mention that 90%-95% of our walks were during night-time after work.
Both finally got microchipped on the 10nth April 2012 and their annual vaccines on the 24th April 2012 (Huskos' last due to age and after rescent research probably Lemmys' last too...).
Of course every 3-4 months a pill of Dolpac was given...
Should mention that Husko had gone from 19kg (42lbs) when found, to an overweight 29kg(64lbs) in 2012 , to 26kg(57lbs) in February 2013 and still a bit overweight...
These are from New Years Eve 2011>2012...one of my better memories...
a quiet family time (actually just Husko,Lemmy, mother and me in the kitchen)...and the biggest bone-treats i could afford...

Late December 2012 I lost my job due to the current economic crisis...
Even though i took the unemployment benefit for 2013 , 360euros a month to help support a 4 person (brother working but rarely contributing and mother has a part time job paying next to nothing...father is a lazy prick...) & 2 dog family is very difficult...
I went into depression...spending all day playing PC games and watching movies all day long...for almost 2 months...
Finally got over it ,but no jobs were anywhere to be found for months...
I got both my furbabies checked at the vet middle of February 2013. According to the vet Husko was ''turbo-healthy'' considering his was probably 10yo at the time...
These are the ''off'' Low or High numbers i see...

Iraklis:

Patti
Since almost the start of 2013 i was taking them on 5-15min ''bicycle-walks/jogs/runs'' almost every other night in order for Husko to drop some weight...
I eventually noticed a slow decline in Huskos' endurance...considering he was probably 10yo.
Come March i stopped it completely because i didn't want to do harm to Husko by making him jog/run...he was clearly not enjoying it.
These are maybe the last pictures of Husko healthy (late April)...
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6466http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6465
Looking back, i remember bathing him in May and noticing his skull had a bit less muscle mass on the top...(he always hated the bath so i only bathed him 2-3 times a year ,but used a vinegar-wet towel every 1-2months)...figured my baby is just getting older...
Can't remember when exactly i noticed he couldn't jump anymore for treats...maybe as far back as 2012...
He slowly seemed to loose strength in his hind legs...
By early June he sometimes needed a tiny gentle touch of help to stand up...
So...just to be safe...we went to the vet...
A visit i will always regret for the rest of my life...
JUNE
It is important to mention sth very important that played a big role in events to come...I don't have a car, just a scooter and a sportbike
...and this vet-office of Elias ,Dimitri and George is the only one i knew within walking distance of almost 2 miles...plus i had good past experiences ex.Lemmy got neutered there with excellent results...
I told the vet-George that Husko has difficulty standing up and sometimes needs a tiny ''poke/push'' to stand-up.
After checking his joints he asked how old is...probably 10yo i said...
He diagnosed a very mild form of arthritis and prescribed Husko to take
MEDROL 16mg
1. 1/2 morning & 1/2 night for 7 days
2. 1/4 morning & 1/4 night for 7 days
3. 1/4 mornig for 7 days
Iraklis:
Do you or the vets think Husko has Cushing's? I am confused as to what all his issues are? Is Lemmy healthy? Are the gets expensive there? Hope you can get back to work, or still no jobs? How is your weather over there now? We are expecting snow again tomorrow? It has been a long hard winter here, and hard for the dogs to go out to potty. I am looking forward to spring, but my Tipper is afraid of thunder, and she makes herself a nervous wreck and gets sick. So I hope no storms. Blessings
Patti
JULY
Instead of improving , Husko slowly got worse.
We opted for a blood test...
June 2nd Results (2nd paper got lost by the vets but they said what's important in this case was the first page)
''Off results''
γ-GT 17,59 IU/L (1,20-6,40)
SGPT/ALT 407,06 IU/L (10,00-94,00)
ALP 249,00 IU/L (0,00-90,00)
They suspected liver cancer...
They suggested an ultrasound but unemployment funds were almost weeks away...
I was devastated...
Husko was prescribed to take
Prezolon 5mg (until we could have results from the ultrasound)
1. 1 morning & 1 night for 7 days
2. 1 morning for 7 days
18th July 2013
Day of the ultrasound and urine sample.
Ultrasound Results (in short):
Liver:enlarged
Gall Bladder:normal but with suspended precipitate
Spleen:normal
Kidneys:normal
Urinary bladder:normal
Pancreas:normal
Adrenals:Left normal .Right couldn't be checked
Gastrointestinal tract: normal
Comments: DIFFUSE liver disease (dd: lipidosis, steroids hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, lymphoma)
Urine sample results:
All normal except
Specific weight :1007
epithelial :rare
erythrocyte : rare
I asked the radiologist-vet if he sees cancer & what is the diagnosis ,and he replied ''i see no masses , but i don't give diagnosis ,just the results of specialty (ultrasound & x-rays)''
Ι thought that meant ''no cancer'' so i asked if the liver puncture should be done immediately or next month when funds would be better ,to which he replied ''next month would be fine''...
Postponing it would turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes in my life...
I took these results to my vets ,relieved believing Husko didn't have liver cancer.
They said ''no ,it's here and pointed at the last word of the comments section...Husko has liver cancer''.
I was devastated once again...nothing could be done medically so believing the vets, i could only postpone his death...
Husko was prescribed to take
Prezolon 5mg
2 morning & 2 night every day
+plus
Animastrath
Royal Canine Hepatic dry food
Flagyl
Ursofalk
Denosyl
(also gave Milk Thistle ,not suggested by the vets they didn't even know it...started w/2 pills a day and finally ended up giving 5 pills a day when i felt things got worse)
Can't remember the exact date but Husko started limping his left front leg, which was swollen...
Visited the vets again...opened it to let the pus come out...it never closed again until he passed away...
Was prescribed Ceclor for that and his ear infection...
Visits to the vets had become weekly by August...
hi iraklis welcome to this forum. what an interesting story you have written down here.
great that you saved both dogs.
my bordercollie flynn had the same thing going on at his front leg as your husko had.
also pus coming out and it could not been healed.
severe inflammation because of arthritis.
i had to put him to sleep because of this. 30-12-2013.
my dog had cushings as well.
i am sorry you lost husko.
i hope your lemmy is still a healthy boy.
AUGUST
The radiologist-vet went on a monthly vacation so i had to wait till the end of the month for Huskos' liver puncture.
By this time Husko was diminished to a peeing/drinking ''machine''...only able to walk for 50y tops...22kg (48lbs) and me crying every single day...
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6469http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6468

I was noticing every time i gave the cortisol medication Husko was getting worse...but as most people...i thought the vets know better...
By the end of august Husko was taking 5 Prezolon pills per day...
Until something snapped finally in me and i told the vets I'm stopping cortisol and getting a liver-puncture...
they insisted he had liver-cancer and a liver-puncture would just be a tormenting procedure and that I was wrong to not having Husko euthanized already...
29th of August the radiologist-vet had returned so I finally managed to find transport by a friend to get there...
Results of the liver-puncture were pointing to corticosteroids (didn't specify source)...
I was furious...I was killing my baby with my own hands...
SEPTEMBER
4th September
Managed to find transport by another friend to another vet far from home...she said he is good...
We did perform the LDDS test there...
An x-ray (not the one in my album) showed Husko had been shot in the past and had a air-gun shell in his back...
This messed me up inside...
Results came in 2 days later...6th September
btw, Husko had been off Cortisol for only 4 days (1/2 prezolon was his last 4 days ago)

You'll understand more and more as we come closer to the end...
And hopefully i'll have some answers myself...
Do not hurry and reach conclusions before this story is finished...

I understand completely, take care of yourself. I know how hard this must be. I love my dog more than anything, so I know how you feel. Blessings

Many of us have seen several vets until we found the right one. This is not unusual. Too many of them don't know enough about Cushings.
You are doing fine, darlin'. Take your time and remember to breath deeply. No need to push yourself - we are here, we are listening and we are not going anywhere. Share your journey with Husko as you need and know that many arms surround you, giving you strength and courage. I know your sweet boy is proud of you.

As i said these last results came in Friday 6th September.
Husko started immediately treatment with Vetoryl Saturday 7th September.
I had already done research on medications for Cushings since the last results of the ultrasound...the LDDS was just the verification.
I must say i was scared to death after reading the side-effects but all else seemed worse or could be not-effective since we didn't know if it was the pituitary or the adrenals by now...
I opted for the Vetoryl 30mg once per day to play it safe...
Husko was still receiving
Denosyl (all through September if i remember correctly)
Ceclor (one week)
Animastrath
Milk Thistle (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Enzymatic-...item3a6d6c2cb4 THIS (price must be wrong though)
10 days later we performed the ACTH test and new blood tests

Husko was slowly improving...
His belly had retracted.
He started eating again (In august he had stopped so i force-fed him chicken breast) ,never again dry food though.
And slowly regained some strength.
I was FLYING...All summer I thought my baby was dead but now there is HOPE!!!
Septembers' Vetoryl was almost finished...
I ordered the 30*120mg from the UK and took it to a farmacy-lab to make it 120*30mg.
OCTOBER
I called the original vets to have the 1 month test but they said it's not necessary since he is improving...
I will always regret not demanding it as it would show if it was too much or not......
Husko started receiving Vetoryl 1*30mg morning and 1*30mg night
btw,I had found a job by now as a scooter-courier ,payed by the hour ,but funds were not improved significantly (and were reduced as months went by)
Transport being always a problem, i managed to find a friend to get Husko to the radiologist-vet mid-October ,to check if it was adrenal-cancer.
It was not!!!
It was a sign of relief as I had read most pituitary tumors are benign and don't spread.
He also had another x-ray
(the air-gun shell on his back is just outside the picture and is on the left...the x-ray showing it from September is not digital so i can't upload it).
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6470
Since starting Vetoryl in September up to late October ,Husko was slowly improving.
I didn't take him on long walks and thought it was better if he rested as much as possible...but i didn't spend enough time with him petting as i now think i should have...
I had just discovered Game Of Thrones and started watching 4-5 episodes per day...
Being tired from all the turmoil (war of nerves by vets/constant fights in my house/volunteering at a rescue -anyone doing it knows the stress involved-/constant sadness and crying/trying to find a job etc.) most noticeably since the start of summer this is how i escaped all this...
NOVEMBER
I should mention Husko always had a habit of doing 2-4 circles before laying down...
But...it started becoming more and more...
I didn't pay attention at first...but within a week it became 20-30 circles...
and Husko had stopped eating again so i force-fed him chicken breast again...
By the second week of November Husko had an empty look in his eyes and whenever he wasn't asleep he started pacing...
getting stuck in corners in the house...
sometimes head-pressing...
I suspected the tumor had enlarged...
Went to the vets nearby Friday 15th November...
He was given DEXTROSE to up his appetite as i was told...(i now know it was like adding fuel to a fire...)
Saturday ,giving him the 2nd bottle i noticed small head spasms...so i stopped the flow and drew the needle out...
http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6476http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/pict...pictureid=6477
Sunday 16th November Husko got an MRI...
(thankfully i had managed to yet again find someone to take me there and my emergency funds were exactly the price of the MRI, 300 euros)
This were the results...
History
Cerebral syndrome ( cyclic movements, promoting movements, aimless wandering)
No seizures.
Temporalis atrophy.
Cushing syndrome.
Normal adrenal glands at the ultrasound examination.
Description
The study consists in multiple series of T1 and T2 weighted images of the head taken before and after IV injection of gadolinium.
On pre-contrast T2 weighted images, a large well circumscribed hyperintense mass is identified in the pituitary fossa extending dorsally
to the thalamus. The mass measures 25 mm in height, 21 mm in rostro-caudal diameter and 17 mm in width. The signal is not suppressed
on FLAIR. No change in signal intensity is seen on T1 weighted images, but distortion of adjacent structures is noted indicating a mass
effect.
On post-contrast T1 weighted images, strong and homogeneous enhancement of the pituitary/thalamic mass is identified.
Conclusion
Large enhancing mass located at the base of the brain, likely arising from the pituitary gland and extending to the thalamus. Given
previous diagnosis of hyperadrenocorticism, primary consideration should be given to a secreting pituitary macroadenoma/carcinoma.
I was devastated once again...
All summer long I was told he was gonna die...
Then found hope and thought he would be ok and have time to live again...
And now this......words can't describe...
...I decided this would be his last week and Sunday 24th November would be our last day together...
The friend who took us to the pet-hospital to get the MRI promised me he would take us there so Husko would finally see the sea (not having a car we never went there...later found out by the young woman who had found Husko that he had seen the sea...)
Days before that Sunday, I went to another vet for alternatives...he said Lysodren but chances were 1:1.000.000
I have experience in my family of the effects of chemo...and ruled it out...
Same day...I decided not to just give up but search the internet for alternatives...the search went on for months...
Found many alternative treatments to cancer...
One of them was IV vitamin C therapy
Also...giving MSM ,curcumin would help.
Went to a pharmacy store/lab (the one that converted my 30*120mg Vetoryl capsules to 120*30mg) and explained in a hurry Huskos' story...
She actually gave me for free a bottle of ALA 250mg, one of MSM 1000mg, Vitamin C 240grms powder and a bottle of Ester Vit-C 250mg
I only paid for 2 boxes of IV-vitC serum (each containing 5*750mg/5ml injections)
Saturday 23rd November I called yet another vet home to get blood sample and prepare the IV...
Husko got 3grms on Saturday and 4,5grms on Sunday of IV-vitC
***As many here can understand...not having unlimited funds is a constant struggle of balancing...guessing...having reserves for emergencies or bills...''if i buy this today will i have to buy that tommorow?'' , something you felt less important was much more important etc. etc. etc...and looking back you can see mistakes that were maybe not visible at the time...or just plain WRONG decisions...
but we did go to the beach none the less...
