Kendra's Cloud

Kendra
On Thursday, we piled into the car and went to the V-E-T-S.  Kendra had to stay ALL day for tests--whatever that means. 
Bella and I got to go on a BIG walk.  We'll tell you about that another day.
We were all excited when Kendra came home...not just because it was dinner time.  We  did happy dances and had a short game of zoomies. We missed her.  AND we got lambshanks for dinner because SHE felt sorry for Kendra.
Next day, the test results were in.  Kendra has Cushings.  This morning she started her treatment......that meant we got cheese this morning...only Kendra had a tablet in hers.
As Rubie says 'every cloud has a silver lining.'
Guess that means Kendra got the cloud and we're cashing in on the silver linings!

Change of subject now.

We changed our scottie calendar yesterday, July 1st, and Bella spent a long time staring at the new picture.

  1. Are you three in the calendar?

  3. I got concerned when I saw your post title.....I hope Kendra will be OK! I don't need cheese to eat my tablets - I eat anything after all. So we all went to that horrible place this week - glad to see we are all back at home (*shudder*). Hey I went and checked my calendar...and there is a little brown labrador puppy on it...COOL! Not as good as a terrier though!

    Be good girls, Tail Wuggles, Rubie.

  9. Hiya girls! Fergus here.
    Guess what? I also have Cushings!!
    Its not too bad, I feel a lot better now that I get to have two bites of chicken (with tablets) each day.
    The tablets are called vetoryl, is that what Kandra has?

    My peeps have noticed a BIG change in my behaviour since I've started taking my chicken. I have LOTS of energy and I am generally a lot happier. I hope Kendra feels better soon!!

    Wags and sniffs,
    Fergus

  11. Hi Kendra~ My peeps last scotty had Cushings. Half Pence was diagnosed when he was five (he had a node on his pituitary gland most are on the adrenial). Half Pence lived another seven years and he passed from cancer not Cushings. Take your medicine regularly so you keep your hormone level normal. And tell her to include you in more pictures.
    So you can live a long life and prosper!!!!

  12. Oh my... Cushings??? Dachshunds are prone to that too. Butt the good thingy is that it is controlable. I am so very much sorry to hear this though. Well, except fur the CHEESE part.
    I LOVE the calendar pic... I can understand why you are lookin at it.

  17. Cushings is when the adrenal glands produce too much. I have Addisons which is the glands not producing enough. Does Kendra care to give me her excess? I get an expensive shot every 25 days but it is better than my body shutting down. Before it was diagnosed, it was touch and go for a while four years ago.

  22. Poor Kendra. Thank goodness it is something manageable although managing things isn't always easy or inexpensive. Lambshanks help a lot, I'm sure. (-:

  23. We are sorry Kendra about your illness but we just know you will be fine with treatment. Cocker Spaniels seem to get that disease too and we had one years ago with it. Cheese with the pills is a good thing!!! We know why you are staring at the beautiful calendar!!!! Lots of love, Debbie & Holly

  24. Don't despair Kendra. You can lead a long active life with liver disease. Just ask Morgan.
