Diesel does have a brain tumor The vet just called and said there is definitely something there, she can't give me the full details till they get the report tomorrow. She said we can talk about options then, but not to get my hopes up beacuse it is very serios I can call at 9am to see if he can go home, and as soon as the repost comes in we'll go back and figure out the best course of action. My poor little man, I just want to cuddle him, he is on anti-seizure meds now, and probably having a lovely sleep, hope he is not too scared at the clinic

Hi everyone, Thanks for your replies, makes me feel so much better hearing your experiences and good wishes for Diesey! All going to plan, Diesel should be having the MRI as I type, he was booked in for 5pm, they take him to a human clinic, vet with him the whole time. The vet said she won't be back at the clinic till 7:30pm at the earliest, she is calling me to let me know when he is back safely, but can't tell me the results till the morning. So now I just wait, will let you know results asap... Going to cook a nice dinner to keep my mind off it all, been doing way too much confort cooking and eating this past week, looking forward to some answers soon

Hi Puggy Puppy, I'm in Sydney Thanks for the good vibes, he is snuggled up with misty the cat on the couch right now, looking peaceful right this moment... ahhh... Can't wait to find out the results

Poor little pup, I'm sure she'll be fine and back to playing in no time. Lots of extra kisses for her

Hi Loraine - Diesel had an ultrasound, that's how they found out his adrenal glands were enlarged, would a tumor have showed up on the ultrasound? He has had so many tests and x-rays, the MRI seems to be the last big one... I hope he doesn't have a macro tumor, as my vet said there is not a lot that they can do for that. Though my Mum's been talking to a vet at golf and that vet said there are tablets they can put them on to shrink the tumor - beginning with 'L'. He is really down today, doesn't want to get up, very cranky, did anyone find there dogs temperament changed when starting the Trilostane? I'm just really worried he's going down hill... and hoping it's just the meds that are knocking him about and not anything in his beautiful little head! Thanks Nina, comforting to know people are wishing all the best for him

Hi all, I am an absolute mess at the moment, my beatiful staffy cross, Diesel was diagnosed with Cushings last week. He has been on trilostane for 5 days now. The really worrying thing is that he has been having regular mini seizures for a week now, just his head shakes side to side, it only happens when he is asleep (it wakes him up). I have been with him 24/7 I haven't had him out of my sight since last Tuesday. My fiancee has even started sleeping in the spare room so Diesel can sleep in the bed with me, and I can monitor him all night. He is having an MRI scan tomorrow at 5pm, as they are worried the seizures are caused by a tumor on his pituatry gland. I just feel sick with worry, he is only 6yo and is the most beautiful loving little fella. He hasn't been himself the last few weeks, just heartbreaking. Cross everything for him tomorrow that they find it's only a little problem... and not the tumor thanks for reading
