    Max At Vet

    Well, the boy is home with a few stitches and some lovely metacam. The vet decided to take it off right away, but according to DH, didn't have much else to say about it. I can't decide if this is good or bad! It worries me a little that she took it off right away (the appointment was to just take a look at it, so I guess it looked bad enough... :( ). The results will be back early next week...hopefully very early, so I don't have a lot of time to fret.. :unsure

     

    If you could keep thinking positive thoughts for Max, I would appreciate it. :blush

     

    DH has Max at vet to take a look at a lump. He has had it for a while on his hip/thigh area (right on that nice big butt muscle greys have!) and vet has checked it at each visit and deemed it unsuspicious. But over the past month or so, it has grown quite a bit and now has weird spike-like growths on it (two of them, small, maybe half a centimetre and thin, but new).

     

    "Conintuined un-suspicious & totally benign" thoughts would be appreciated.

    Could You Please Say A Prayer For Canyon?

    Good luck with everything today! Gosh, I hope things start turning around. Gabapentin is good stuff from human perspective so should be for doggies to. For pain, it is typically an adjunct (my DH took it with Fentenyl patch) so there might be something else you can do there if it appears he needs more pain relief.

     

    Just wondering (and I'm sorry if this was posted elsewhere) have you tried a canine chriopractor? Max has had a couple of fairly serious incidents that were successfully resolved this way (one where his jaw was sort of locking open when he would yawn and another time when the crest of his top vertebrae became hooked underneath the base of his skull. He was basically incapable of free movement in the top half of his body and was all hunched up at the shoulders, with his head hanging low. The vet did say that it would have eventually resolved itself, with muscle relaxants, pain meds, etc, and that it would have taken quite a long time to go away. She was able to treat it in one appointment with a few adjustments).

     

    Hugs to that sweet boy...
