Peanut on Prednazone

A rare moment of Peanut being quiet

Peanut was diagnosed with Steroid Responsive Small White Dog Shaking Syndrome on October 4th. Since then she has been taking steroids (Prednazone - hence steroid responsive). While the steroids have helped with the shaking, and she is no longer having seizures, they are having some side effects.

Peanut has always loved food but was never over weight. The steroids have caused her to be hungry all the time. Besides gaining weight she is now table surfing for anything she can her her chubby little paws on. While she has always been the dominant dog she is now having aggression issues when it comes to food, treats, and bones. She is not only guarding her own food but me if I'm eating, or the garbage can if it has food in it. Now Peanut is on 6 pills a day. Along with eating a lot she is drinking a ton, causing her to have accidents in the night. We have an appointment at Cornell on Friday to see if we can start weaning her off the steroids.

Updated -Lollypop Farm Young Professionals Holiday Party

The event at Dog E. Woggy has been postponed. In its place we will be having a social at UNO's in Victor across from Eastview Mall. The networking event is still on Dec 12th now from 5:30pm - 7:30ish. Appetizers are free and there will be drink specials! I hope to see some new faces!


Canceled for now - The Lollypop Farm YP group is having a Holiday party on December 12th, 7pm at Dog E. Woggy's. Young professionals and their dogs are welcome to come! Dog E Woggy's K-9 Playtime has areas for the dogs to run around and play together inside and out. If you bring your dog we do ask that you keep an eye on him while you are there.

The Holiday party is to celebrate the YP group being together for 6 months and raising $3,800 for our Barktober Fest Team. If you haven't attended a Lollypop Farm YP networking event or meeting this would be a great opportunity to stop in and meet fellow animal lovers in Rochester. This is a free event and drinks and snacks will be provided.

For more information on the group send an email to youngprofessionals@lollypop.org
