I see him Wednesday, so I will ask him then :)  I will still pm you info though, you have the "gift of gab"!

So it is a really snowy day today in the PNW, I have tried to call the clinic but they are not open.  I will get the name of the doctor and ask about the radio show if they show up today.  I am hoping for an earlier appointment, I don't want to be out driving when it goes from snowy to icy.  But, I am fighting for Sammy, so it will be at all costs.

Here is a pic of Sammy this morning, hangin' in the snow :)

Jerry, thanks for posting that video, it was very informative and makes me feel a little better about what I call "woo woo" medicine.  I guess it is the real deal.  I hope he starts feeling better soon…   I filled the prescription for gabapentin, it seems to make him sleepy.  Or maybe he is just sleepy anyway?  He is doing exactly what he was told, sleep it off, don't move unless you have to.  I love my little squishy face boy.

Pam, what is that medicine?  What does it do?  Is it for pain?

Elizabeth,

Zeus came home from his amp. surgery with gabapentin and tramadol.  I THINK the gabapentin is a type of nerve-block/pain medicine.  I know it is used to when dogs have phantom pain, so it must have some effect on the nerve.  It did make Zeus very sleepy.

We are in PA and have had a very mild winter so far.  If you wouldn't mind, please keep that white stuff over your way!!

Still thinking of and praying for you guys!
