  • Onyx the yoyo

    Gosh.....just when you think things are going great it all comes crashing down. Onyx took a turn for the worse this past weekend. What triggers these episodes we just can't figure out. Back to explosive diarrhea. She ended up at NP vet for the day...

  • Onyx doing well

    Good news. Her newest blood panel showed all of her values in the normal range! (except for platelets and those are signs of inflammation). Her neutrophils are back up to the normal range and her panel looks amazingly "boring" and that says...

  • Onxy is sassy

    She is doing pretty darn good! She is still on antibiotics and we will take her in sometime this week for another blood panel to see where her neutrophils are. She is still on budesinode once a day and clavamox and metronitidzole twice a day. Her stools...

  • Onyx set back

    If it isn't one thing it is another. Onyx is still doing quite well although starting to have a bit more watery stool. She went for bloodwork yesterday after being back on the azathioprine for over a week. Her ALT has gone down further BUT her neutrophils...

  • Onyx is recovering

    Onyx has been doing pretty darn good! She seems to be processing most of her food. Still not solid stools, but at least not liquid diarrhea. They are more like cow patties. The canned Iams Low Residue seems to be working for her. The best thing is that...

  • Onyx and dehydration

    WOW...what a different dog we have. After leaving her at the vet on Friday and having them put in a catheter and IV fluids all day she came home a renewed dog. I knew she was dehydrated and although not severely so, just having her revitalized all day...

  • Onyx crashes then recovers

    Whew....this is hard watching this dog. I thought sure that yesterday she had given up. A couple of days ago she threw up her meals. Then just wouldn't eat. I thought that was the end.....Don was getting home Thursday night and I thought she might...

  • Onyx the fighter

    This girl is just amazing. I think most other dogs would have given up and died. She is still a bag of bones. She had 2 very bad nights with explosive diarrhea. But today has been a good day for her and she acts like nothing is wrong. Today I have just...

  • Continuing on the shy dog theme

    I am going to try and cut and paste a long post that I emailed to a friend of mine who was having questions from an adopter of a shy dog. _____________________________________________________ Most of the time a husky introduced into a household with family...

  • Onyx off a drug

    ARGH. Took Onyx in today for blood work. Only 12 days on the Azathioprine and her ALT (liver enzyme) went from a normal of <10 to near 700. Caused by the azathioprine. Unfortunately she already got her dose today. So on Saturday will completely take...

  • Chanel has cushings

    Confirmed. Pituitary dependant cushings disease. sigh. So today I pick up a relatively new drug to see if we can just improve her quality of life. This is a disease that is not cured. It is just managed. The drug is called Trilostane. Instead of destroying...

  • Onyx and vinegar

    OK.....there it is. When I was "talking" to Yanert, "apple cider vinegar" popped into my head. OK.....I'm a strong believer that this vinegar mixed with honey and gargled and sipped will kill off any start of a cold. It has been...

  • Onyx 2 steps forward 1 step back

    Well...isn't this an improvement. I am optimistic at the moment. People reading this will probably think that I am very strange....but the other night I was laying on the couch in a real funk, looking at my emaciated dog, tears coming to my eyes thinking...

  • Onyx. 1 step forward 2 steps back

    Well....the new drug doesn't seem to be working. I had high hopes last night as I fed her late and added some of the cholestyramine powder. It is made for humans and comes in "delicious" orange flavor. I just mixed part of a packet with...

  • Onyx and drugs

    Well, we are into the chemical soup now. She had a very bad night last night. A lot of diarrhea. I think she went outside 5 times through the night. Food just goes straight through her. So I called the vet and she called in 2 more drugs that I picked...
