RileysLegacy Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'm guessing the "B" shot was buprenorphine, a pain killer. Unfortunately what vets often forget to tell people is that a common side effect of a buprenorphine shot is heavy panting. I hope your gorgeous Riley turns out to be okay. eta: I agree the evet should have xrayed. This really pisses me off. I told the vet he has larygeal paralysis & the last thing he needs is to pant more. I hope Riley is ok. I have a hard time believing that an e-vet has to wait two days to get xrays back. That doesn't sit right with me. I go to NGAP and they have them right there. He did not take xrays. I am at my vet w him now. We are in the back and he's laying on his bed. The vet gave him Valium and fluids and will do xrays in a couple hrs. They turned down the ac just for him and brought him an icepack. I feel so much better w him here for the day. I'm going to sit w him until he (hopefully) falls asleep. Thanks everyone. I would be freaking out so much more w/o you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Energy11 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I love the idea of the Valium ... he will help calm him, and it is also a form of muscle relaxer... should really help! Fluids can't hurt, either. Poor Guy! Love and hugs from here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sounds like Riley is in good hands now. that it turns out to be nothing more than a pulled muscle or two. That can HURT! The evet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeForHounds Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Praying it isn't anything worse than a soft tissue injury. When I read the part about the heavy panting my heart sank. All I was thinking about then is he has LP and that kind of drug would be contraindicated I'm sure. What a stressful time for you all. Sounds like your vet know what he's doing and has the panting under control. Waiting with you while you wait on a diagnosis.

Guest mountain4greys Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I hope they figure out what's causing the pain. That evet sounds uncaring. I'm glad you're at your regular vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RileysLegacy Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'm home. A tech came and sat with him b/c he kept trying to get up when I left. I am very relieved that he will there for the day so they can monitor him. I will update when I hear anything about the x-rays. Thanks again!!

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeddysMom Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I would be furious at the EVet. We all know our dogs well enough to know when there is something wrong. I hate it when a vet just dismisses a concern I have about one of my dogs. I hope you get into your own vet soon and I hope Riley is feeling better by now.
