Buddy's Appetite Is Diminishing....


Recommended Posts

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. :thumbs-up

3. Continue the tramadol and gabapentin, he can be on those forever. :colgate

4. Continue the "exercise limitations", i.e. no stairs for 2-4 more weeks. :shakefinger

5. Since we have discontinued the rimadyl, he doesn't feel we need to do bloodwork; so no needles for Buddy today! :thumbs-up

6. He has gained a couple of pounds!! :yay

7. I asked him about acupuncture, he said definitely pursue it, it can be very helpful. We are going there NEXT Thursday. :nod

 

and, the icing on the cake,

8. NO CHARGE for today's visit! :banana

 

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! :lol

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.
