Not to mention 3 months of disturbed sleep for the whole household, with
Murphy stomping around the house all night long ... kinda makes you a bit
feisty. )

.......oh yeah! Some people use these kinds of beds to help their Cushings'
dogs cool off. You may not need it any more though if Murphy's finally
stabilized: http://www.petstreetmall.com/Canine-Cooler-Pet-Bed.aspx

Ironically I was trying to get hold of one of those a few months ago
(summer downunder) but couldn't get one for love nor money - couldn't
find an online store that shipped to NZ (most don't even bother to reply
to the email enquiry).

After seeming to improve last week, her blood glucose has shot up again
in the last few days, and I think she's just starting to drink more
water again ( - but not drinking nearly as much as she was before.

However we increased her insulin again yesterday and today she was a bit
lower, so fingers crossed the anipryl will kick in properly before we
need to increase it again.

It's possible it was a combination of anipryl and phosphatidylserine
that was responsible, but because we were unable to get PS for a couple
of weeks perhaps we'll have to build it up again to see a benefit.

Or maybe she just needs a higher dose of anipryl. At least we haven't
had any panting fits, and she did really well when we took her for a
little walk yesterday (which could also be responsible for her BG being
a bit lower today). Though her back end is really weak and wobbly she
didn't appear to be overly tired or stumbling after a gentle half-hour
perambulation. Even managed to get up a steep, short slope all by herself.
