The good news is that I don't have Lyme disease - yes, I was tested again. I saw my vet on Monday morning and he gave my leg a very thorough work out. He thinks maybe I could have a sprain? Mom and dad both think that the disease is progressing but they really don't like to think about that too much. It makes them sad.
I got another small taper on my prednisone and I'm taking gabapentin again. The first time around, I had no reaction to three pills per day. This time it's making me loopy and drowsy and very unsteady on my feets. I keep bashing into things and I can't come downstairs by myself. The peeps are very afraid that I'll tumble down and land on my head.
The better news is that my vet called yesterday and I can decrease the number of times per day that I take gabapentin if the loopiness continues.
I have to rest lots and no walkies for me until I improve.
Yummmmmmmmmmmm~~
Mitch and Molly

Tell mom to send us a some loot and don't give it to the docster. We know it's a sprain cause I went through sprains and surgeries. Now you listen to me kid, no running, jumping climbing for 4 days. Tiny walks.

ReplyDeleteDearest Mitch we are really sorry about the wobbly stuff, and we know that is worrisom for your peeps. Hazel takes gabapentin too for her neck pain. She takes a liquid form cause she is so little the pill dose is not small enough. Mom & Dad have noticed she is not as steady on her feet sometimes. We hope things can get figured out so you are not so loopy.
ReplyDeletehugs
Mr Bailey, Hazel & Mabel
Well, good on the no lyme news, especially given where you live. But bummer on the meds making you loopy. We hope the lowering of the dose helps. Those ravioli look very tasty. We think we might like the spinach but would pass on the mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Ciara and Lightning

ReplyDeleteOh poor guy. I hope it all works out well. I know how hard it is to figure out. I'm going to work Monday. (thought it was this week but hr lady has strep) at a vets office. I wish I could ask them for help!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll pick up some pointers. I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

ReplyDeleteWe are thinking lots about you Mitch and hoping that you get back on your feet again soon, good news about the Lyme. Your dinner looks really yummy but I am the only one in our home who loves broccoli and spinach and mushrooms so I will have to make this when I am home alone. Hugs, Susie & Treacle xx
