Im still trying to get out of work...hope I can get home in time to call in but if not...
Samson is a 13 yr old (Quad) Dal with a deformed hip socket on one side and athritis and a old curciate tear on the other rear leg. I had 2 accupuncture treatments done 6 days apart while we had him boarded at our PT Vets office. He aslo had a massage.
When we picked him up he was very shaky and weak in the back end. The PT office said that some dogs get worse before they get better and it may be due to the stress of being boarded. (We have never boarded him before)
I gave him tramadol for 4 days and he seems a little better. I wouldnt mind giving it another try but dont want him to get worse.
I do trust my PT vet, Dr Browne of TheraVet in Webster, NY who said we can give it another try but I was wondering what advice you would give a patient that had an old dog who had a bad experience. Any other therapies that you would try instead of accupuncture? He seems to get worse with manipulation such as stretching and massage.
Spirit Samson was Spirit Tripawd Daisys four legged "brother" and ruled as the self proclaimed head of the Monkeybutt Federations East Coast Division. Lady Chunky Monkey stayed from Oct 2011 and left for the bridge in Apr 2012. Miss Perdy is left and has some big pawprints to fill.
Do you have what it takes to be a Monkeybutt? Find out more at the Monkeybutt Federation
Thanks Samson! We'll try to squeeze that in if we don't hear hear from you during the show.
Anypawdy else have any brief questions for Dr. Waldman?

‹Dr.Waldman› You guys are funny. NSAIDS in general work better for joint disease alone, again super ailing pets usually have more than just joint disease. Remember that NSAIDS have all those deleterious effects on liver, kid, stomach, if using long term, use SamE and Milk thistle for liver protection, use Famotadine for help to decrease gastirc ulcers.
‹Dr.Waldman› I really think that it's ok to be a "hippy" or be a true advocate for your pet. I learn lots from my owners too! We do phone consults as well...
Loose Stitches
‹kawimoto› One of Kawis stitches came un tied, not all the way out but it isnt bothering him at all. is that ok?!
‹Dr.Waldman› Yes, use that ecollar!!! look for redness or discharge if none, it's ok
‹admin› Or, consider these cone of shame alternatives.
