thankyou annie is being tested for cushings and thyroid on thursday as i asked then to test her for them so the poor little mite has got a day of it again. shes kind of the samw cant walk eat or drink on her own so we have to help her to do it. she can sit up ok now and has stood up a few times and tryed a few stwps b4 falling over, her eyes are not flickering so much and she does try to play. shes still having small fits when shes asleep but the vet said that could be the meds and they might go when she comes off them. my partner and i havent had a full nights sleep for over a month now .

This is such great news!!! I'm so happy your baby is starting to feel better

[ARCHIE]

Oh that poor baby. I was praying it had something to do with her tooth.
No such luck I guess. Good luck today with the tests. Annie will be in
my prayers. God, I hope she can be helped and out of pain. I can't even
imagine what you must be going through. Please keep us updated.

hi everyone and thankyou. annie had her blood taken today so ive got to wait till tuesday for the results. shes quite happy today and has been wagging her tail a lot, since shes had the stroke her voice has changed and shes started making this funny noise where it sounds like shes saying i love you over and over again and then if ive been sleeping while my partner looks after her she says hello over and over when she sees me shes doesnt seem to be in pain anymore so it looks like it was the tooth that was hurting her. shes done a few steps today. the main problem at the mo is the fits shes having nearly every time she goes to sleep, so my partner and i are sleeping in shifts so one is always awake with her.
the vet said once they have the results back then they will give her meds for it if she needs it.

annie is not good today we took her to another vet and he said he thinks she has a brain tumor ether caused by cushings or just a brain tumor. he said get the blood test results back from the pdsa on tuesday take them to him and he will do a cushings test as the pdsa have not done it properly.
he said he will get the test results back that night.
the problem is if its a tumor its got so large its pressing on parts of her brain so there are only 3 things we can do, 1 try meds and see if they work, but its not likely.
2 have a mri then radio, that would cost 1000s i dont have and at best give her 3 to 6 months more but she would then have to go through all this again and be in pain.
3 have her pts.
my partner and i have said we will do the test and if it comes back cushings then we try meds , if the meds dont work we will have to have her put to sleep so she doesnt suffer anymore if it comes back its not cushings then it will def be a tumor so we will have to have her pts as no one will be able to do anything for her.
i will do anything i can for her but i dont want her to suffer just so i dont have to go through the pain of losing her

Oh hun I just caught this thread. I am so very sorry for Annie feeling so ill I Will keep her in my thoughs and prayers that all will turn out Ok. I lost a Dog do to K9 Addisons last march and we tried so hard to get it under control. She just could not go on and we knew it was best to let her go. God bless you and I will pray all is ok.

[sashajade]

thankyou and im so sorry for your loss.
a lady on another site i talk to rang me and said she thinks annie has a really bad ear infection and as i havent got the money to pay a good vet she will take annie to her one and then do fund raiseing on her site to pay for the bill.
how lovely is that?
she is a true angel and i just dont know how i would thank her if it turns out annie has an ear infection and thanks to her annie gets better.

[Mybabe4me]

oh no !! I hope it isn't something as serious as that - there is a site that helps people financially for surgeries etc you may want to try - it's www.imom.org and they're wonderful people - their whole goal is to save any dog in danger of being put to sleep because people can't afford the bills - it's worth checking into if you find yourself under the gun $$ wise....ALL THE BEST TO YOU !!!
