Riley just had her 9month post-operative check up. She had chest x-rays and an ultrasound. No evidence of cancer, which is wonderful news. She has had an issue with "knuckling under." Her left front paw will sometimes roll under. A (More) |

Merry Christmas, Part 2
Casey was pretty zonked, and made it through that first night without issue. He slept in Jake's bed, penned into a corner, and I slept next to him on the couch. The vet was right, and Gabapentin is powerful stuff. Now, we had to learn how to deal (More) |

Figuring it out
He seems better this evening. He mostly slept all morning. I had to go to work for a few hours. He seemed good when I got home. Here’s what I’ve figured out: 1. Maybe the Tramadol. We had increased it and the Gabapentin 2 days ago. Both to 3x per (More) |

Crying
Ugh....It’s been a rough day. We increased the Gabapentin and Tramadol but he seems stoned. We went out this morning. He gets around really well then he’ll just start crying. It breaks my heart. We went back inside and he pooped on the floor. Easy en (More) |
