RobinM Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Polli had a greyt day yesterday and today she was barely able to stand. In fact, there was a short time today when she couldn't. Scared the bejesus out of us. We called to take her in as she has not been in since her last chemo over 6 weeks ago. It's LS. Just what a tripod needs. She got a shot (cord) we are to restart the deramaxx monday and tramadol today. Please continue your prayers for this sweet brave girl. We are going to start acupunture Monday morning. Beau is up to 56.8 pounds. We are thrilled about this. When he gets to 60, we may be able to drop back his pred to every other day.

Guest PiagetsMom Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Anything about the lump on polli? I was wondering about that, too.

RobinM Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Anything about the lump on polli? I was wondering about that, too. The vet had NO idea of what the lump was. She said, it did in fact, feel like a tight muscle. She asked if we wanted to do x-rays since we were there. Since there was nothing we could do but what we are already doing, I said no. No point. Nothing would be different. She does not think this is cancer related. Her weight is wonderful at 55 pounds. She has no muscle wasting and other than the rear end weakness, she looks wonderful. So we just don't know.
