05/27 Butters PMPS 104/+3 77

Last Post

I'm continuing to hold Butters's dose @ .875u as her numbers have been pretty decent.

She finished her course of clindamycin on Tuesday, but she continues to scratch and paw around her mouth, and this afternoon I noticed some swelling around an eye. I'm going to try giving her some zyrtec on the off chance that there is also an allergy thing going on.

I am keeping her on bupe and am waiting to hear back from her vet as to whether he is able to get her cardiologist to squeeze her in sooner for an echo. Otherwise, she has to wait for her appointment in Mid-July. I guess I'll just have to keep her on bupe until then.

Have a good night, all.

 

Gosh I hope your vet is successful. Maybe she needs another round of clindamycin.

 

Yes. How many days of Clindamycin was it? I’m so sorry that she’s not apparently getting better. Does she eat well even though she paws at her mouth? How does she act otherwise? Normal or hiding or lethargic? It’s a good idea to try an antihistamine. You have nothing lose there.

I can tell you are discouraged. I would be too! I hope things can move more swiftly with the cardiologist and she can hopefully get diagnosed properly.

 

Sending prayers.

 

It was seven days of clindamycin. She has been eating well for the past few days now, although she spits out any slightly bigger pieces of meat that have to be chewed. I shred the pieces with a knife and then she will eat them. Lol. She is acting pretty lethargic although she is on bupe, which I'm sure doesn't help. And she was restless all night. It is definitely frustrating. I don't really think it is an allergy but I figure it can't hurt to try zyrtec. I think I'm out of ideas after this. Even if she gets in sooner for the echo, she will still need an appointment with the dental specialist. I may just see if her vet will be willing to do the dental himself, as long as she is cleared by the cardiologist.

 

I’m sorry to hear Butters is having facial pain still. Hopefully she is cleared soon!

 

Hugs mama bean and Butters Cute +3 today

 

Lyla, I hope they can figure out what's causing the swelling.
I hope everything falls into place and you can see the cardiologist sooner and your vet can do the dental.

Hi Lyla, do you have any Gaba left? Wasn't that what the vet gave you before for the seizure/facial issues? Am I on the wrong page here...could be...I apologize. I'm still trying to get my feet on the ground and figure out what's going on...

Hope you and Butters are doing ok...although from this post it looks like she's having some other thoughts about all that!

 

Definitely sounds like a mouth thing. I feel so sorry for her. I know it is hard on you not being able to help her more except to alleviate some discomfort! More hugs!
