rascalsmom Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) UPDATE: We just got back from our follow-up with the neurologist. Here's what he said. 1. Don't give him any more rimadyl. :!! 2. Give him a pepcid twice daily, before meals. 3. Continue the tramadol and gabapentin, he can be on those forever. 4. Continue the "exercise limitations", i.e. no stairs for 2-4 more weeks. 5. Since we have discontinued the rimadyl, he doesn't feel we need to do bloodwork; so no needles for Buddy today! 6. He has gained a couple of pounds!! 7. I asked him about acupuncture, he said definitely pursue it, it can be very helpful. We are going there NEXT Thursday. and, the icing on the cake, 8. NO CHARGE for today's visit! All in all, a great visit! I took the big guy to Petsmart afterward, and we bought some new treats. The chewy kind (Canine Carry Outs) that mean mommy never buys, but Buddy loves....He is now exhausted! Edited February 19, 2009 by rascalsmom Quote Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13.

Guest Winterwish Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Sounds like a good prescription for how to go along. That's very good he's gained a few pounds! I hope Buddy's feeling much better soon and enjoys the treats. Edited February 19, 2009 by Winterwish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
