    I Could Really Use Your Advice, I Don't Know What To Do

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted · Edited by LuvEarsies

    LuvEarsies, where did you get it so cheap? I have been looking online and even if you buy it more cheaply from a Canadian store, it seems you have to buy it in large quantities. I don't need 100 tablets. :(

     

    The vet tech I spoke to this afternoon spent ages calling pharmacies around here and no one carried it. They could special order it but the cheapest price quoted to her for the amount I would need was $186 at Rite Aid.

    We purchased it at our local Walgreens pharmacy. I am sorry you are having such a hard time finding it at a reasonable cost. However, I agree with what the others have said, the dental can wait until you sort out the platelet issue.

    Mystery Swelling, Now Getting Bigger

    WOW! Exact symptoms with our girl Tiggy a few weeks ago, swelling in jowl area, defined lump, no fever, head tilt, pain, etc. Our vet felt the same as yours. Gave us tramadol, prednisone and abx. Within 48 hours after starting meds she was vastly improved. It's now 2 weeks later and she is fine. It's a mystery that we hope doesn't come back. Sending good thoughts for your Cash

    Partying At 5:30 A.m.! How To Make It Stop?

    We don't like to sleep with our bedroom door closed because we like to be able to hear any sounds from around the house...so what we've done is put a chair in the doorway before we go to bed. That way Dakota and Toby are 'trapped' in there with us. And we can still hear anything from around the house, etc.

    We have gotten a good night's sleep ever since I started doing this. Our hounds have always slept in our room with us, but Dakota would wake up and start pacing around on the wood floors, or poking us with his nose or whatever in the middle of the night. I don't know what's in his mind, but ever since we started blocking the doorway with a chair, I guess he sees that his space for pacing and fooling around has been limited, and he settles right back down and goes to sleep. He doesn't wake up til 6:00 or 6:15 now, which is when my alarm goes off anyway, and that's when Toby gets up too.

     

    This has worked like a charm for the last 5 days or so!! :clap

     

    Good news! We block our gang of six into our bedroom using a piece of plywood about 4 inches wider than the bedroom doorway and we covered it with contact paper in a nice neutral pattern. We prop this on the inside of the door frame covering the opening and it does a wonderful job. It's lightweight enough to move out of the way in an emergency, you can easily lift it with one hand, kick it to the side with your foot if hands are full and if it falls on anyone it doesn't cause an injury. We have several of them to block doorways from room-to-room, they're easy, inexpensive and unobtrusive. When not in use we just put them against the wall near the door or behind the door. We still use baby gates to limit access to areas like hallways that lead to outside doors.
