Dr. White was always an inspiration to me.
Really nice looking horse my grandmother had a appaloosa named prince growing up in Fairfield TX
Our 4 year old golden retriever x Swiss shepherd had very sudden onset MG, with mega esophagus and, within a week of onset of food regurgitation, complete limb paralysis. Within two hours of being administered an acetylcholineesterase inhibitor, he was able to walk and, indeed, run. Importantly, he was incredibly strong the day before vomiting commenced. It is clear the aetiology is not congenital but rather acquired and, while he has not had serological testing performed, based on the pharmaceutical success, MG is certainly confirmed. He is now at a point of having prednisone only as rescue therapy, instead of BD, together with the Mestinon. If there is a chance of the immunosuppressive therapy permitting complete resolution of the immunoglobulin response, is this interruption of the prednisone wise?
This is wonderful however the cost of these treatments are astronomical for the average income earners and people in limited financial circumstances. My cat has bladder cancer and my earnings are not enough to get everything available but I will do Everything in my power to help her.
What is the difference between liver disease and cushings disease in a dog? Thanks!
I have a small schnauzer cross. The reports of dogs predisposed with DM & CS accurately describes him. Unfortunately he has developed DM, Cushings and pancreatitis. I am having trouble getting him to eat so I can administer insulin properly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
She can afford it good for that cat 😊I’m going through the same thing but can’t
Start a go fund page this can help out for sure, I lost my cat to lung cancer and I had no options because her whole body started to fail it was devastating she was 16yrs old everything happened literally within a span of 2 weeks I miss her so much, if your cat is young start a go fund ppl well help out
My beloved Jill Russell has just had a pacemaker… it’s so worth it. ❤
Please can you tell About your baby how is now and the sintoms?
Congratulations Peter!
One day after shearing (yes, like a sheep, not clipping) our brother/sister pair of Anglo Arabs, I ran across this video. I noted that it was released 11-years ago and what a relief in both attitude toward and treatment of equine Cushing's. Now in 2023, Cushing's has become "big business". I was so discouraged and feeling so guilty that I could not possibly keep up with the schedules and expensive meds that are being touted as the only way to maintain any quality of life. Thank you, thank you for the simple reminder, "Listen to the horse". Didn't we all learn that decades ago when Tom Dorrance released True Horsemanship Though Feel? My 25-year old gelding is exactly like you describe Prince (he has the double forehead sworl to prove it). So playful and affectionate, but a real handful on the trail. His sister is the enforcer of the two, but she has taught me that a horse doesn't act up for no reason. There's always an underlying issue. So I guess I'm saying that damn KZread algorithm this time worked its magic by showing me this video. I also have a 14-year old English Pointer dog with diabetes. She's clinically "died" about 4-times, but now (after listening to her) I've adjusted all her food and insulin injections to the point that she just marches around in her inner Daisy world, being totally blind and deaf, so effectively that visitors don't see anything wrong. Three animals with challenges like this going on at the same time as a record breaking Arctic winter is just coming to a close, had me feeling pretty down (and looking pretty stupid to most of the surrounding rancher community). Thank you for your down to earth sensible approach.
Hi Cheryl! I’m so glad this video was able to bring you some comfort! Prince always had a way of doing that:) It sounds like all of your animals are very lucky to have your love and dedicated attention! PPID horses can be very hard, as it seems their needs are constantly changing. In the 10 years with Prince after this video, he went from a regular dose of pergolide, to what my vet described as kind of a max dose, to that dose with the addition of Chaste Tree Berry, to just Chaste Tree Berry, to spending the last few years with zero meds. I’m not sure what happened internally in that time but it seemed his needs kept changing. Listening to them really does go a long way😅. I hope you have many more years with your two (and the pup too:) It can feel so daunting and overwhelming towards the later years, but by then you know them inside-out and they to you, and together you become the closest of friends. And boy aren’t we so lucky to get to experience that!
A legend, knight of veterinary medicine
God bless🙏🏻🙏🏻
awesome, congratulations! what a calm, brilliant, dedicated man! loved my time with him on 2 months of large animal medicine and surgery at Cornell in 2000...22 years later, he's still at it...what an inspiration! Dr Jeremy Cohen class of 2002
My dog is suffering from this right now and I need help it’s so stressful
mine might be as well. In my prayers
@@AT-nx2dx ok so today she went under anesthesia for the Endoscopy. The looked to see the blockage. And true enough. It was there. They opened her esophagus back up with a ballon catheter. She ate for the first time today without regurgitation. I paid so much money on Drs appointments and they never could figure out what was wrong with her. She is very happy and chill all the time. It was just everytime she ate she would throw right after. Google helped me find her diagnosis. Thank god lol
@@brittneynospears8521 so happy to hear it worked for you. I have finally finished the lengthy and expensive phase of figuring out that it is a stricture. I knew it was that immediately but didn't know the term for it or how to explain it to the Dr. I kept saying that it was some kind of mechanical blockage when trying to swallow. Once you figured it out, how many surgeries or catheter balloonings did it take?
Someone cutting onions in here...
Is there a database for all cats and dogs that beat cancer??.??
Вы приходиите нас убивать, а наши врачи спасают ваших мужей, отцов. Вам это не показывают по телевизору?
Prince is beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing!
Can someone explain like I’m 5 what what he doing with the calf
If you still care he's diagnosing the calf by checking the way it walks and responds to certain movements. it's why he is very respected its amazing to diagnose something that easily and precise.
the best
Thank you for telling us about him. Extremely grateful to you
Hi all! Leslie here! A friend sent me this video today, and what a blast from the past it is! Prince lived comfortably another 10+ years after this video. We finally had to make the difficult decision to euthanize two days before Christmas (2021). He was nearly 35 years old. My key take-aways from my many years with a horse with PPID are: 1. Always listen to the horse first. 2. Monitor sugar, but don't let that overly control you. A happy horse always comes first. 3. Plenty of exercise. Turnout (controlling intake), in hand work, ridden work. A mini pasture pal is a great way to keep them moving ;) 4. Work closely with a veterinarian that knows you and your horse. 5. A low starch senior feed, may become a necessity with increased age/decreased dentition. Prince was eating 15-18 lbs of senior a day the last several years of his life. If you are an owner that found this video because of a recent diagnosis of your horse, may you leave with only hope. By listening to your horse, and always understanding their needs, you will have many more years of happy memories! I certainly did! Happy New Year! I hope 2022 treats us all with kindness!
Leslie the fact that you took that challenge on and gave Prince the amazing gift of 10+ more years, is amazing!! I'm actually doing a project on horses with Cushing's and your video was so educational and helpful in my research!!
I took interest in this video because prince looks so much like my appy 26 and just 12 months ago diagnosed with Cushing’s, Curly coat and all , since being on medication he has dropped all his fluff and looking younger than ever. I can only hope he lives to his 30s he is in a paddock with a young horse so he gets plenty of exercise his teeth are still good so can only hope. Sorry to hear the passing of Prince but he was lucky to have a owner that loved and took his best interests at heart
@@tammylafleur5065 it was quite a journey! I am so glad his story was able to help you!!
@@appylover5283 it sounds like your old Appy is very lucky indeed to have you as an owner! I so wish this video could have been filmed in summer, so others could see how well these PPID horses shed out while medicated. He had many many more sleek summers and many many more joyous gallops out in the field, and I’m hopeful your guy will too! Apps are definitely hardy!
@@lesliekennedy4998 thank you 😊 appys are the best

Blablablablabla. 👎
Boring video guys. There is natural remedies for that. Especially the coughing. See the “Veterinary Secrets”KZread channel.
❤️
Lovely tribute! Well deserved. Congratulations Dr Mayhew!!!
Can you please elaborate the procedure to become DACVIM for foreign veterinary graduates?
I like Leslie she seems like a happy person. I know its been some years but I wonder how Prince managed. I just found out my horse has Cushing and she us only 11 years old
Hi there! Leslie here! Prince lived comfortably for another 10+ years! We finally had to make the tough decision to euthanize him two days before Christmas (2021). It was unknown the exact cause of what finally happened internally, but he was nearly 35 years old. I'm sorry about your horse's early Cushing's diagnosis, but my best advice is to always listen to your horse. Regularly monitor sugar intake, and make sure they have plenty of exercise. Having a veterinarian that you trust is a must! Here's to hoping that you will have many more years of happy times with your equine friend!
Wellness redemption cured me of the nasty herpes virus . Here is their email; [email protected]
Ya MG sucks thanks for the post
My quarter horse also lost weight inexplicably and he had always been an easy keeper. Then his feet started hurting a lot.. lo and behold cushings
I’m gonna goom
Congratulations Becky!
wow only 2477 views over 5 years seriously though how much is this treatment?
get pet insurance
Is it expensive to out your cat on chemo?
@WeeStrom CO Guy That is really expensive.
How much? Please reply
I'm glad you people save her life .
this is so dumb
What about iatrogenic cushing's disease? What about a dog that is on steriods and can't come off of them? What would you do for this?
Idol!
Also, I just ordered Gold Life and CBD online (herbal remedies) figuring it's worth trying anything at this point. Can these be used with the chemo pills? Do you think the herbal remedies are worth trying?
Our cat was also diagnosed with inoperable oral squamous cell carcinoma and the oncologist vet gave us chemo pills to give the cat three times a week. It seems like an injection directed right at the cancer (-- that's what happened with the cat in the video, right?) might be more effective. We weren't offered this as an option. is this something any vet could do or is it a specialized treatment only offered in certain places? Our cat is barely eating at this point.
Thank you for sharing Angel's Story! I'm her mama - Kristie Sullens. Angel recently passed away and we are still coping with the loss. No matter how long we have them it's never long enough. Angel's canine bone marrow transplant was a CURE for her lymphoma! She was considered 7 years CURED when she passed away from old age at 13 years old. We are grateful for every moment that we shared and her legacy continue's to live on through Save-An-Angel.
I had to put my cat down due to this type of cancer last week. He had heart, and kidney and immune system problems, so I'm not sure these drugs would have been viable treatment options. He was diagnosed just under three months ago, but looking back, I think he had the cancer for at least a year, and it invaded his bone early on. I just didn't recognize it until it spread to his lymph nodes. I read that cats who eat tuna had a 7 fold increase in developing this type of cancer. He had been on wet food since developing a life threatening infection years ago, and stayed on it due to kidney problems, and he would only eat tuna based wet food, but had I known about the risk, I think I would have tried harder to get him to eat something else. I can't help but to wonder if getting his teeth cleaned more would have prevented the cancer, but he didn't handle anesthesia well even before the kidney problems.
SepherStar really sorry for your loss. I really am
I am sad for you both also - where exactly was the problem located? I now try to to find out if chemotherapy maybe an alternative method of treatment for a tumour located on a cat's jaw-bone which can't be operated on. I welcome any views, experiences and general information
I have one dog who had to be euthanized due to DS (discospondylitis) after a very long period of treatment (NikkouDaisuke channel) and one who, thankfully, recovered with only post-infection spondylosis, for which he will always be on pain medications (Gabapentin & Tramadol.) If you suspect discospondylitis (or your vet does) in your dog... worth getting an MRI to possibly save its life.
Congratulations Dr. Center. We Love you and appreciate all that you have done for so many students, interns, residents, clinicians, clients, patients as well as for our profession. I feel so honored to have learned so much under your instruction. A well-deserved award. Kevin and Thea
amazing story lovely cat my cat Mercury has been diagnosed with nasal carcinoma would chemotherapy help him? really want to do everything I can. Michelle
So happy that you got on top of this. He is beautiful! This is why I think its imperative that we keep our pets immune system 200%. In reality, there are quite a few things can affect the intestinal bacterial balance (immune) in a pet’s gut: Stress, poor diet, prescription drugs, pollutants, treated water, environmental changes, chemical fertilisers, pesticides, vaccinations, worm and flea treatments etc, soil sterilisers in agriculture (which damage the soil ecosystem and the natural flow of bacteria found in the food chain). All the above compromises your pets immune,
This tells me SFA
Most people cannot afford to take their pets to a vet twice a year. It has become VERY expensive for vet care and medications. I paid 10K for Chemo for a 10 yr old dog and she died in 8 months. It was suggested to me that she would go into remission...she never did. Why is it so expensive to take proper care of our pets?
mattiesful Corporate greed
Vets deserved to be paid as much as anyone else does BUT when they will let a pet die because an owner don't have all the money that is when it becomes greed just the same as when doctors don't treat patients that don't have the money.
