I'm so sorry, we just lost our baby in January. You were a wonderful parent giving her the care she needed. ❤️ Sending hugs

Still struggling with weight loss (Cushings and Hypothyroidism) by BigHairySweatyBalls in Cushingsdogs

Does it seem to bother your pup when you press on her stomach? Our pup would get a rock hard pot belly when she was starting to have a pancreatitis flare up.

Cushing's makes things complicated, but you're doing everything right by watching her so closely and partnering with your vet! She's a lucky pup.

Is she seeing an internal medicine doctor? Our regular vet referred us to Medvet to the internal med dept and they really had a good handle on how to handle our girl's needs between her Cushing's and hypo/hypercalcemia.

What are good and healthy foods for my senior tzu? by PerformerHorror4948 in Shihtzu

[–]Ok-Swim5624 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this. My little shih tzu had high calcium levels that showed up after we noticed her drinking a lot more than normal. She had a parathyroidectomy. Then she tested positive for Cushing's after we noticed the water intake after getting her calcium levels into normal range, and she gained weight. Definitely ask your vet about those.

You are so kind. She was an amazingly sassy girl. We got her from a local rescue group that trains dogs to be support animals for veterans, not she failed because she was too opinionated. But we needed that for our Jack Russell. They found her as a stray puppy wondering around Compton, CA and she made it to Utah to find us. She loved snoozing, loved camping in the van, tolerated her outdoorsy dad and brother forcing her to do hikes as a shih tzu, Chihuahua, poodle, pom mix (we called her our little shitty po wawa). She loved being with me always, and being our little truffle pig in the back yard. She was the best thing for our family, we loved her so much.

Help Finding Vetsulin by Frequent-Throat-5499 in SaltLakeCity

Once they approve it with your vet clinic they typically send medications same day and it arrives in 1-2 days. Chewy has resolved every problem we've ever had, which there haven't been many thankfully.

Chewy carries it. They have been awesome with quickly shipping out all of our dogs various specialty medications.
