Our intro

[Jackson or Deats]

Greeting all
My name is Jackson. My partner, Deats & I joined CIMDA in April 2009 when our beloved dog MaggieMae was diagnosed with AIHA. With everyone's help & support we bravely fought for 11 days but could not get the AIHA under control. We have one dog with Addison's disease.
Thanks for letting us join.

Thanks for remembering us Penel! LucyLu's Addison's is very well manage - she is on .8ml of Percorten every 31 days and 1mg prednisone every day. We get her lytes tested every year (or sooner if something appears amiss).    And Hi Pam! Great to see you here as well.
Lucy mess up her 'good' knee and restricted activity helped but she reinjured it. So, right now she is at work with me and will be for the next 6 weeks due to having had knee surgery and a tooth pulled yesterday. We have been a bit worried because last time she had knee surgery she developed pancreatitis. We significantly upper her pred this time and the vet used injectable dexamethasone before & after surgery and again this morning before we picked her up. She's able to keep water down but the little bit of food she ate came right back up (they did give her an injectable anti nausea medicine this morning too). Guess she wasn't quite ready for food. As long as she can drink water & keep it down we're in good shape. We will just have to wait a bit longer before offering her any more food.
Thanks for asking!
