Back to the vet with our Molly....another problem since Addison's diagnosis

[Lake Girl, Lizette]

Praying for my girl....now incontinence...every 30 minutes we are outside.  She pees while sleeping. Been washing constantly, cleaning carpets, etc. and cleaning her up since yesterday.  Called vet this morning and hoping we don't have a bladder infection. Read side effects from the shot for Addison's Disease  or the prednisone or both....apparently this can cause bladder issues.  Now we are dealing with this.  We can't seem to get a break.  I am wavering between exhaustion and being totally distraught over this. I am getting very, very upset over all this. Which causes my brain disorder called TN to swing into full gear. Both my head and my heart are hurting right now.  I am overcome with concern for Molly and she looks so pathetic when she has an accident.    I have had to cancel everything.   One of us has to be here with her at all times.   I am exhausted...stayed up to take her out to the bathroom all night.  This is tough....really,really tough.  Got a call into my vet already at 7 a.m.  I am thinking of how difficult remediation is concerning this disease.  I am tired, frustrated, angry, and trying to control my thoughts and not really express what I am feeling at this point.  Trying to keep my emotions in check.   I prayed over Molly last night and full healing.  Now I need to stand strong in faith and know our Lord loves all His creations and wants to make them well.

Bless you girl, this sounds so heartbreakingly sad for you. I know you can be strong, you have already shown that.
Are pet sitters out of the question if you have plans to keep?

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I'm so very sorry to hear this latest news.  I hope that there is something the Vet can do to help you both with this.  Sending prayers and hugs.

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

So sorry to hear all of this. Sending prayers and positive thoughts that you can find solutions and healing quickly.

[Kathy (Ellie & Oliver)]

It is extremely heartbreaking to watch a member of our family go through some thing like this. The more exhausted a person becomes the more bleak the problem looks. Hopefully, the vet can pin point the cause and that you can get some much needed rest. Prayer works wonders! I will include Molly and her family on my prayer list. Thinking of all of you!!!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

I'm so very sorry for what you and Molly are going through. Sending prayers your way and hoping your vets can find a treatment that will help Molly heal.  ((hugs))

[F, Calla & Luca]

I am so sorry to hear this but hopeful it is something that will go away with titration of medication.

[BG and Gavin]

Do you have anyone that can "take over" for a few hours so that you can have a nice bite to eat and get some decent sleep?  Lack of sleep really seems to make things worse and it would be good if you could rest for a bit and restore your energy.  Sending positive vibes your way.

[Karen & Maple]

That's exactly what I was thinking. You may feel you are the only one who can bring Molly comfort, but I think some sense of balance is necessary for all. It certainly would not be selfish. Quite the opposite. You need to regain some strength and clear your head. We tend to think we must expend ourselves down to nothing on the behalf of others, but really what good are we then? Thinking of you all.

[DonMarie and Picco]

So sorry to here about this. Have you checked into all alternatives for the treatment of Addison's? There may be natural treatments too. One doctor doesn't know it all. Some vets do naturopathics for animals.

[Lori, Quincy & Frankie]

My heart goes out to you and Molly.  Keeping good thoughts for some respite

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I'm so sorry to hear this, Lizette. Hopefully an adjustment in the med dosage will resolve this. Hang in there, we're sending positive thoughts for you and Molly.

[Robin and Libby Louise]

Hang in there!  You have gone through so much with Molly already, I'm sure this seems beyond what you can bear.  I second the suggestions to have someone spell you and your family so you can get some rest.  That will help clear your head, at least, even if your heart is still breaking.  Hopefully Molly's system will right itself with the correct dosages of medication but you need to take care of yourself.  Don't lose hope!  You are a wonderful doodle mom - have faith!  We are here for you!
