Newgreymom Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Dylan is having his first depo medrol shot on Friday for LS. He will be 13 in April and I'm nervous about the shot. Haven't heard a lot of negatives but just being a worried Mom. He's already on Gabapentin every day and Tramadol as needed...please send good thoughts...the Vet who is administering the shot was taught by Dr. Herron..

Hubcitypam Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Dr. Herron did my Rex's first shot and two others did the latter ones. Never had a problem. People misconstrue that it is injected into the spine. They do similar injections in humans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newgreymom Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Dylan did very well!! Had the shot on Friday about 5:30 and so far doing well. We noticed when he poops, he's not walking along. He actually is staying in the same squatting position. Hasn't knuckled over but still shuffling a bit. It hasn't been even 24hrs yet. How long before you know if it worked or not??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
