Sharring the story of Husko the Hero...

Iraklis:
The longest Tipper has been off the Vetoryl is 3-4 days. I think what ever this drug does causes lasting effects as she still had the tremors when off of it for a few days. I can't take her off longer than that as her symptoms are too bad,and it is so hard to get her numbers in line and dosage right once her cortisol has been allowed to rise. She is pretty good with her pre and post numbers right now, So I don't want to rock the boat. That being said, I don't feel this can keep going on as it is getting worse. I will be working on this video so everyone can see it this weekend. Tipper had three walks today so she is worn out. Enjoy your day with Lemmy. How is the change with your sleep doing??

Iraklis:
Tipper did not want to go out on her walk this morning. I had asked the neurologist if Tipper could be having Myoclonic seizures. He was not convinced. I have researched the heck our of them. They start mostly when the dog starts falling asleep, which is when Tipper's happen. They make them have facial twitches, which she does, they can progressively get worse, which they are, it is a jerkimg motion from muscle contraction, and once they get this there is no cure. It can be caused by medication!! So if she has this it would fall in line with the fact that stopping the Vetoryl did not stop this activity. There are some medications that can control it, not sure I want to get into those. I know my dog, and this is something more than tremors. Hope your sleeping is going well and you get outside and enjoy the day with Lemmy.

Iraklis:
Please look at Tipper's thread as I got the link on it to see the video. This is not abad tremor like she has been ggetting, but a milder one. Notice the tail and face twitching also. I think she is having myoclonic seizures. I am going to try and get one of the really bad ones on video and put it on here. What do you think this could be? I am wanting your opinion. Thank you,
Patti

Will do asap...

Just got out of a conversation on FB...and found out the vets blame it on me...that i didn't do all the tests (WTF?) and so he made a diagnosis on poor data...WTF?

It was they who didn't look/search/pay attention on anything else the ultrasound results stated ,other than the last possibility of ''liver cancer''...and it was they who refused any further testing deeming it un-necessary...WTF?

Iraklis,
it sounds like word is getting around and the vets are trying to cover their butts. They might be losing business already.

Do you have all of the records where they say not to test?

Iraklis:
I am so sorry this is happening. You do not need the vets blaming you on top of their misdiagnosis of your Husko. They must blame you instead of having their business ruined? Have a good weekend with Lemmy.

Refusing to test further on all the possibilities (dd: lipidosis, steroids hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, lymphoma)of the ultrasound results cannot be on any record, they simply refused as they had already drawn a conclusion it was liver cancer...

Eventually i found transport and went to a different vet...should have stuck with him...instead of going back to them...easier said than done though...

I wonder what is their story on not following the Vetoryl protocol, not recognizing symptoms of tumor enlargement ,giving Dextrose to a tumor patient, giving cox-2 pills to a cushings patient...



I have to find a way to scan all my tests records and publish them...

Honestly, i was spooked and enraged last night by hearing Huskos' cries after reading all that...

Thinking about you and Lemmy and I'm keeping y'all in my prayers.

Much love,

Iraklis:
I am not sure if you celebrate Easter but I hope you and Lemmy can go on a good walk. It is beautiful and sunny. Do you have a library where you could use their scanner? Maybe you know of someone who would scan them for you at a school or university? Hope you are able to work it out.

We do celebrate easter, but i don't care really...

I will find a way to do it and scan all the test results...

Went to Huskos' place earlier with Lemmy...
On the way back home, he got really scared and jumped up half a meter and yelped when he saw a grasshoper on the road...so funny...

P.S.On a brighter note...my neighbor (below apartment) found a 'pointer' dog hit by a car April 10th...She's ok btw...and yesterday I fortunately found her owner through FB, completely by chance!
