Charlies_Dad Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I am sorry you are going through this. Our Shelby has the same issues and we have experienced exactly what you describe. We took her to the vet and they gave her a shot a week for 3 weeks plus we have her on Gabapetin and she turned the corner and is doing okay. She's almost 13.5 yrs and while she can be unsteady at times, those shots and the Gab have really given her many more days than we thought we would have. I hope Mandy is better today and not sure whether there are additional alternatives to help your sweet girl.

NeylasMom Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Beverly, I'm so sorry. This is what I worry about now with Z having LS because I also live in a 3rd floor condo. Does she have LS? There may not he time for this, but Zuri had his recheck with Dr. Canapp last week and he is now recommending stem cells instead of the steroid injections. If she's not even on Gabapentin and your vet can get her on that, it may buy you time to look into whether you want to pursue either. It may also be too late, or this could he something totally unrelated I guess so it may be best to just lee her go, but I hope not. Will be thinking about you guys.

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...
