Burpdog Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) 9/9 Calcium normal. Recheck in a week. Here's hoping! He is just about back to normal 9/5 p.m. He had a seizure half an hour after I dropped him off Bit his tongue, etc. Vet just took him for a walk and he is fine but he'll stay there the rest of the day. I started the compounded calcitriol last week and I have not had a good feeling about it from the beginning. Back on the good stuff. 9/5 He's at the vet for a little bit. Scared the heck out of me at 2 a.m. Came in from the yard on 3 legs. The leg he was holding up was in muscle spasms. I gave him 2 Tums and some calcitriol and he went to sleep (I couldn't) and when he got up he was fine. I took him in for a blood test and vet wanted to keep him until he had the results. Good news is that he has gained a little weight 8/30 Hund N Flocken a big hit (most likely until I buy a big bag). He even ate breakfast. Here's hoping his bowel likes it as much as his mouth 8/29 Calcium level in normal range at 11.1. BUN and creatine coming down slightly. Here's hoping. Vet said recheck in two weeks I said one week Some slight symptoms of low calcium this morning and I wanted to take no chances so he is there Edited September 9, 2014 by Burpdog Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpdog Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 What signs of possible low calcium was he showing Apparently this is for high calcium also: when he got up he walked stiff legged in the back for a bit. Then he went to drink water and had what looked like a mini cervical event (lasted about a second). When he laid down after going outside (and he did trot in), his one shoulder muscle twitched. That was enough for me to take him. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
