I know, Kathy. I have to check the prescription. I think she was to only have it 4 days. Maybe I could start her on a Thursday so hubby is only home alone the first day. He is just tired, we both are. We need a break because we are awake with her at night. We don’t sleep and then I am awake because of my shoulder pain.
But they don't even know if it is inflammation for sure.:(
Thank you for keeping us current. Wish we could do more.
Love,
Sus. :)
Awesome Addy,
I know how it feels to lay awake with worry. I feel so badly for you both. Hugs.
Hi Addy
I really hope you are having a better night sleep tonight, inflammation or soft tissue injury could have everything to do with that fall! Imagine that blardy weather has done your shoulder and her little elbow :mad: So lets hope the Tramadol keeps her comfy and resting for a few days and it can start to settle down. It is so horrible to see them in pain and I can totally relate to your distress seeing her like that. I am here for a couple of hours at least if you are up in the night xxxxxx
Ohhh your 1deg warmer than last night :rolleyes: bring on the thaw!
I cant sleep because I fianlly find a place to sleep myself and then she starts panting and I know she hurts and needs to turn so I help her up. She cant seem to get up herself when she lays on her one side. I know the panting means she hurts. I gave he 1/2 tramadol last night. I knew she would have a hard time after her day at the vets.
She was standing when I got home but then laid down. I;m tryint to believe this will get better but I dont think it will.
Sorry I missed you Trish.

Praying for a miracle for you and Zoe. God Bless you both.

Sending strength and positive thoughts your way. Love ya, Kim
Thinking of you and Zoe this morning. Hope both of you got some sleep. This cold weather does not help either of you. My husband has arthritis and he uses a heating pad some, but I guess the pain medication helps more. Maybe both of you just need a little more time for healing. Hoping and praying for you this cold morning. Love, JoAnne
Thanks guys, they seemed to offer the Metacam as pain reliever more than anything else. We will try the tramadol through the weekend and reasess. I told hubby if the Metacam is her only chance, we have to use it if the tramadol does not work.
I know they told me with my mother, you need to build up the pain medication in your blood stream rather then wait for it to get so bad and then treat. So we will do twice a day tramadol even if it knocks her out for 4 days. Emergency vet said I could even do 1/4 tab every eight hours but I did that with her eyes and she was a zombie. She said most of the vets she knows agree tramadol only lasts about eight hours on their dogs.
I dont do well when I am sleep deprived, as you can see:o:o
I cry a lot.
dear Addy
Only words of comfort,and prayers for your healing and Zoe's. I hope you both get better. As long as Zoe is eating and enjoying life!that is all that matters? I hope her pain lessens. The cold weather for both of you is not good. Wish I could send you some San Diego warmth and sunshine.
Love Sonja And Angel Apollo
