Missy just passed a few days ago but she was about 6.5 lbs. It’s not weight specific. 250mg twice a day to bring down high phos levels rapidly...
Hi everyone, Just wanted to share that Missy passed last night around 12:30 am. We had an appointment on Friday to have a mobile vet come over and...
Hi all, I just wanted to post an update about Missy. I took her to the ER yesterday and the vet said Missy’s body is starting to shut down and she’s...
I know no one is an expert on dosing or a vet but I’m wondering what your opinion is on how to lower her dose safely from 25mg twice a day (which...
That’s really good to hear! I’m hoping the same happens for Missy and she’s able to bounce back soon. We’re doing the second injection on Tuesday....
I would love to take her off the gabapentin completely but I’m worried the Adequan won’t be sufficient. I read that most people use it in combination...
I can’t stop it abruptly. It can cause seizures and rebound pain. I need to either lower the dose or find a way to slowly wean her off of it.
She’s very sleepy and dazed but she cuddled with me all night and I syringe fed her this morning. She drank water, peed, and went back to sleep. I...
I will try reducing the dose and see if there’s any change. I’m giving it for the arthritis pain. The vet says it’s safe to assume she’s in pain...
Instead I’m going to put her heated bed on the carpet near her food and water so it’s close by. The litter box is also not far that way. I’ve been...
I have big foam steps to my bed and she uses those usually.
Yes I’m sure. She’s never had them before and her blood sugar is pretty well regulated
How much mg? I have 100mg caplets and I give her 25mg twice a day which is not that much but she’s less than 7 lbs so maybe she’s super sensitive to...
She doesn’t seem nauseous although I give ondansetron every day just in case. Have not tried tramadol. Wanted to try buprenorphine but my vet...
This wouldn’t explain the lack of appetite though :( In the past she’s scarfed food down when she’s on pain meds. It usually makes them gain...
Breathing is normal. Heart and lungs sounded healthy the last few times the vet & oncologist checked them out. The lung tumor has also stayed...
Hi everyone, My Missy has gone downhill very fast in the past two weeks and I’m worried she isn’t going to bounce back this time. She’s weak, tired,...
I give insulin in the belly too because it’s easier to pinch the skin and see it properly. I can’t see anything on her back / neck / shoulders...
I think it would be 15 units then, right?
I use a 1 ml syringe with a needle but it’s 25g which looks kinda painful. I wanted to use the insulin syringe (30 gauge) but I couldn’t figure out...
