Pennymom Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I am so sorry to hear this, but so glad that Faye Oops has a home such as yours, where she is cared for and cherished. I have always loved the pictures of her snuggling you. Hugs to you both - Quote Image removed, not within Signature Guidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesmom Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I am sorry for the second confirmation. I wanted to let you know that you might get some gabapentin also. It helps the pain. Also ask your vet what the maximum dosages for all her drugs would be. That way you can increase the dosage if she is in pain in the middle of the night or weekends. I know that piroxicam is an NSAID that has some anti-cancer properties. I would assume that you would not be able to give her an additional NSAID to help the pain. The only reason I ask is that it seems the most common combination for pain control is tramadol, gabapentin, and an NSAID (usually Deramaxx, Metacam, or Rimadyl). Also, Neyla's mom has great info on other palliative treatments. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
