Title: Update on Zelda
Post by: jillkilleen on December 30, 2006, 04:07:03 PM
Looks like pancreatitis is out and we are trying to find out what sort of liver disease she has on top of the addison's.  Holiday's are holding up lab work.  She is not a fat dog.  We have put her back on prednisone, which is what you do when the addison's signs start showing, or if dog is having stress.  Otherwise she get's her DOCP shot every 3 weeks.  So, if anyone has any association with liver disease's any insight will help.  Thank you all for your replies.

Sorry I have no advice to give.  I am not familar with either problem.  The furkids are sending mega rays to Zelda and I am sending hugs to you.  I would try researching on the internet.

I'm so sorry Jill. Nothing is worse than a sick furbaby, especially when you don't know for sure what it is. I wish I had some advice but all I can do is send prayers. Please keep us posted.

I am sending healing rays and prayers your way for Zelda also.  I wish I had some information I could share with you also but I have not dealt with this type of illness in my furkids either.   :pray: :comfort: :pray: :comfort:

Please keep us updated asap.

Zelda ia actually doing very well, even with a house full of people!  This is the weird thing.  She really shows no signs of being sick.  Which is good.  I don't think that I would have her go through a liver biopsy though which is one thing they thought they might want to do.  I'll keep you all posted,  Thanks so much for all the rays!
