Another Chloe Update...


Recommended Posts

For those who have followed Chloe’s long, long health journey – we have an update… and a good one!!!

Chloe had her routine testing done on Friday to check her Cushings disease, and also to check how her kidney disease is going.

Cortisol levels are good and remaining stable – so she is still fighting off the dreaded Cushings, and is still in a ‘remission’ and not needing medication. This has now been over 6 months, I can’t tell you how thrilled we are.

All kidney related levels are relatively normal, and have not budged since December testing… so she is also keeping the kidney disease progression at bay.

She has had Cartrophen injections for her legs, and they have helped substantially and she is bounding around again…. Well okay, maybe not always bounding around – but imagine a slower, creakier, old dog bound and you’ll get the drift.

We are over the moon, I suspected the results would be good as she has been so well and lively lately – but we have been fooled before. But these test results come as a much needed relief, and knowledge that the old girl may keep kicking to her 14th birthday??? Now wouldn’t that just be the icing on the cake???

Bless her stinky paws, she’s a trooper.

We love you Chloe – go girl go!!!

Thank you Tassie, but I can't take all the credit. My mum and dad do an awesome job with her too.

But it's very exciting, I never thought our luck would turn with her. Seems she has a guardian angel somewhere out there ;)

Fantastic, well done Chloe. Just the feeling of medication being levelled out with a Cushings dog is a relief so can only imagine how happy you are! All fingers and toes firmly crossed for the stabilisation to remain with you!
