RobinM Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Several people have been asking me about Polli. We are 4.5 months post amp today. For the most part, Polli is back to being Polli. Unforuntately, today is not a good day. She seemed a bit off and that usually translates to quiet. Polli is normally not very quiet at all. DH told me that she wanted him to pick her up rather than go up the ramp in the backyard. She has never not used the ramp. She turned down dinner, which is a first in a looooooooong time. All of a sudden, her body started trembling. I immediately gave her 50mg of deramaxx. I called her vet. She said the trembling is pain. I told her that about 10 days ago, Polli over did it running at the ball field and was having a bad reaction to it that night; trembling, panting, etc. She said I could give her 100mg of tramadol as well so we did. If there is no improvement, I will take her in tomorrow. We are all praying that it's just a sprain from something she did. She has rear end weakness, neurological issues going on in her spine (does anyone remember the video where she looked like a cat?) and 3 legs. Not a combo. I'm scared. To see her just laying there is frighening. Please add Polli to your prayer list.

Scary that that is what has happened to me!!!

RobinM Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Pain meds are a wonderful thing. She hadnt gone out to pee since 3:30 so at 10:15, we said, let's go pee pee and she got up by herself and went down the stairs by herself (with us close behind) went out and pee'd. Came in and ate like she hadn't eaten since last night which she hadn't! She put away her usual 1.5 cups of evo/ a large grilled chicken breast, 1 milkbone, 1 nutro biscuit and 2 zukes. Now, she is resting. Now, Mommy has to tend to Beau since he is about ready to eat... and so it goes... Thank you for the prayers. GTer prayers are the very best prayers there are.
