Kendra Update

 Kendra has finished her initial 5-day course of Lysodren for her Canine Cushings.  Now she's on one tablet a week.  Then back for more blood tests.  There haven't been any great changes....yet.  Though yesterday we took her to the duck pond (her favourite) and she was quite puppy-ish, leading the pack.  She was so enthusiastic she fell in.  But that just made her more lively.

Last night, she wanted to play with her ball again.  First time in ages.  She chased it and jumped.  So maybe she's feeling better.

She stills raises a racket if anyone comes near the house or walks down the street.

    That sounds wonderful. We hear that lysodren can do so much good for dogs with Cushing's. We didn't have much luck with Dakota, but she was one of the very few dogs that couldn't tolerate it. It sounds like you are already seeing some changes in Kendra - paws crossed for even more.

    I was leaning over into my duckpond yesterday and looking at the ducks (very closely). mum said if I fell in she would "tan my behind". I don't know what that means - coz she's a big softie - but I was good and left the ducks to their waters!

    I think it sounds like Kendra is coming along well. Hope so!!!!

    Glad to hear that Kendra is getting much better after the meds :) A dog simply doesn't lose their puppyness somehow... its in them forever... hope she will remain playful for a very long time. I guess you'll be going more to the duck pond now.

    Lee's Half Pence took Lysodren for his Cushings also. Did the blood test every three months. He was such a happy good pet. Kendras fur still looks wonderful for Cushings. Glad Kendra is the feature story today and hope she can stay regular on Lysodren.
