Rickiesmom Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Good girl Polli, but let's not overdo this "eating fashionably late" thing! How is she this morning? (Edited for spelling.)

RobinM Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 She ate her zukes this morning. She was definitely better but still "something" going on back there. We gave her 100mg of tramadol and will give another 50 mg of deramaxx this evening. Wondering if it's LS and if so, wondering if the shot will help her. Asking Teddy and Beau's acupunturist about her later tonight as well.

rascalsmom Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 You just can't seem to get a break, Robin. With what I've gone through with Buddy in the past few weeks, I often wonder how you manage to hold on to your sanity with TWO pups who have problems. I really admire you.

MP_the4pack Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Aw Geese, when it rains it pours!!! If it's not Beau, it's Polli. I'll keep prayers coming in that all your furkids take a break from problems for a while. (that's when you'll get sick. Always seems to happen like that.)

Guest myjazzy Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Wondering if it's LS and if so, wondering if the shot will help her. Asking Teddy and Beau's acupunturist about her later tonight as well. That's what I'm thinking. Rear-end weakness seems to be common in older greyhounds, and since the amp, having to shift her weight bearing, may be aggravating it. I think talking to an accupuncturist is a great idea. Also, maybe physical therapy, like swimming might help her. Hoping Ms. Polli gets back to her spunky, perky self really soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinM Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Email from my vet ( I love this woman). Hi Robin, Glad Polli had a restful night. Regarding acupuncture, I think it best to consult with Dr. Geltman. He's the expert..... As of her last xrays and treatment, there was no evidence of any spread of the LS. It is very unusual for it to met to the spine, usually lungs first. We can certainly re-xray her if it would make you more comfortable, but I think she has deficits because of her altered mechanics and, like an arthritic, will have bouts of pain that need to be managed. There are really no shots that will help prevent this. You can give cortisone injections to relieve the discomfort when she is feeling poorly, but I really hate that drug in greys unless we have exhausted other options. For now, keep her on the Deramaxx. You can use it periodically when you see signs of discomfort. If this is not cutting it, we'll re- evaluate. Hope you have a few restful days with "the kids" Talk to you soon. ____________________________ I will talk to acupuncturist tonight when we take Teddy and Beau Quote ROBIN ~ Mom to: Beau Think It Aint, Chloe JC Allthewayhome, Teddy ICU Drunk Sailor, Elsie N Fracine , Ollie RG's Travertine, Ponch A's Jupiter~ Yoshi, Zoobie & Belle, the kitties.
