Scoutsmom Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I'm so glad you posted an update. I was going to warn you that in my experience, neurosurgeons are often too eager to jump in to do surgery (Okay it was one neurosurgeon). He wanted surgery, I decided to work with drugs, Chinese medicine and acupuncture and the spinal problem disappeared (and I still had some money left in my savings.). Hope you have something similar happen. Edited May 14, 2019 by Scoutsmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreytMom Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 3 hours ago, EllenEveBaz said: Pupdate? Hi! Thanks for asking. I’ve been meaning to stop in and give a pup-date. My Brin is doing so well! It’s rather amazing to tell you the truth. She is running and doing zoomies with her 5 yr old greyhound sister. And correcting the younger one when she gets too sassy. She doesn’t have much stamina yet, as in a walk of about 15 minutes is enough for her, but the transformation is unbelievable. I’d forgotten how energetic she was back in the day as I think her decline was slow and insidious and I attributed it to age, not a correctable problem, until she began limping badly. Interestingly, I have an 11 yr old terrier mix (who is having leg and hip X-rays tomorrow) who we tried on gabapentin with absolutely no effect. The only thing I’m still fine-tuning is Brin’s dose. She is 65 lbs and 300mg morning and night seems to be the sweet spot - pain relief but not too much fatigue. Although it might end up that 200mg am and 300mg pm will be best. They suggested every 8 hours but that just doesn’t work with my schedule. Again, thx for checking in! 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
