Guest KyGrey Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I would like to ask for a prayer for Lee. He woke up this morning stiff in the backend. He is taking his meds for LS and he's been getting the exercise that the vet recommended. I'm not sure if this is just a weather thing or what. It is kind of gloomy here and when the weather is like this my arthritis acts up. He just seems a little off. I gave him his regular Robaxin, today is the day for Pred (he takes 1 every other day) and I even gave him a Tramadol hoping that would help. He is sleeping right now but had a little trouble getting around the house earlier. He has been doing so well since the spell he had back in Feb. He will come up to me when I'm sitting or laying on the couch and just state at me. I know he wants something when he does this and I try to figure it out. There's no whining, barking or any noise at all when he does this. I worry about him so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KyGrey Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Thanks for asking. Not real good. He's off in some way I can't put my finger on. I had to help him get up a little while ago. I had some popcorn and the others were with me. He's acting kind of like he did before his spell. He has had his Robaxin, Pred and Tramadol. He is just not himself today. He did go out for a few minutes and took a short walk with me but I'm concerned because I can't decide what it is. He is acting kind of out of energy. If it keeps up I will call the vet.

silverfish Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I don't like it when they just come up and stare at you. I think generally they're trying to tell you something, although it can be very hard to figure out what it is. Poor Lee. I hope he feels better soon. Don't forget that Tramadol can whack you out, as I know myself, now, having taken it after my shoulder repair. People can get auditory hallucinations, it's a known side effect. I don't know if dogs do too, but if they do, maybe he keeps thinking you've called him?

I run and get food and he runs away. Wishful thinking on my part. I kind of hate when he does it. I know he's trying to tell me something. I just don't know what. The stare is so intense. I keep trying to think of what it could be and it hurts me because I can't figure it out. He doesn't take the Tramadol all the time. I am to give it when I feel he needs it. He has had more of it recently (in the last week or two) than he's had before. I will have to pay more attention to him with and without it. I did get him to go outside a while ago again. He just is not himself today at all. Thanks for giving me an outlet with people who understand my love and my worries for my boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KyGrey Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 He has been sleeping peacefully so I'm hoping he will be better later today when I wake up. I would be the one having trouble sleeping tonight. It figures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yep, that's typical. We worry so much about them that when they're beginning to feel more comfortable, we're still in 'nurse' mode and wake at the slightest twitch. I hope you both have a good night and Lee is feeling much better when he wakes.

Guest KyGrey Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Thank you all. We both had a good night. I woke to have him just looking at me (not the stare) and when I said something to him I got a tail wag. So far (I haven't been up long) things are looking better than they were yesterday. I worry myself sick at times and yesterday was one of those times. I'm not saying I'm not worried now but he seems to feel better. I woke up earlier to a noise somewhere around me and I have NO idea how he did it but Lee was coming out of Bandit's crate. It was empty since I was home. Bandit only gets crated if I leave. I never thought Lee would fit in there and don't know why he would go in there. They have all been fed and I took the others out. I wanted to wait to see if he was going to be able to walk before I take him out. He did his business in the kitchen. No big deal...it's linoleum (not such a big deal if it wasn't). I eventually replace the floor if I have to but I can't replace Lee. So now he's been fed and had his Robaxin. I wanted to see if he was going to need the Tramadol. He just gets that as needed. So far he hasn't acted like he needs it this morning. I just want to thank you for being here for me. I will update every once in a while today (and going forward) to let everyone know how he is.

Guest KyGrey Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) Thank you so much Wayne. And his mommy is keeping a very close eye on him. His back legs seem to be somewhat stiff and I don't see his back legs bending at the knee as much as normal when he walks. I may be to give him some pain meds after all. He is coming to the computer room and he will look at me then go back to the living room. He is not panting or acting like he is in pain. So let's keep our fingers crossed that today will be a good day for him. Edited January 25, 2009 by KyGrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
