Zoe By My Side- Our Journey with Cushings

He has 1/4 tab of 75 mg's of rimadyl and 50 mgs tramadol-they said give him the whole tramadol but I gave him the bigger of 1/2. I cannot imagine giving him the whole pill. He could hardly keep his eyes open already.

He ate some dinner - being spoon fed and he is now just standing in the foyer kind of lost.

I will see if he can pee- they said he did urinate there. I rembered from Zoe's last surgery- Trish told me our plan - wake up, walk, pee ,come home.

Ahhhh= he finally is drinking water- he is heading back to his bed in the bedroom. He has that same look on his face when he was so sick when I brought him home. Fleas, kennel cough, neutering and the stress of lock up at animal control. I have not seen that look since then.:(:(:(:(

gotta run

50 mg. tramadol does seem like a huge amount. :confused: The most I ever gave Buddy was a half a tablet. He weighed 15 1/2 pounds. The vet probably just wants to make sure Koko is comfortable.

Big hugs Sweetie,

Kathy

oh poor baby. Maybe he is just sensitive to the pain meds. Giving him a half was probably good.

Just remember Addy, Koko knows he isn't in the kennel, and that he is in a safe place surrounded by love. This is the truth. You are his pack and he is exactly where he needs to be. He might be all fuzzy from the medication, but he knows you are there with him. He is safe and he is safe to be fuzzy too.

love

6 teeth pulled! Poor Mojo!
I hope that he feels better soon. Hugs

Hey, where can I be safe to be fuzzy Sharlene? That doesn't sound all bad. lol :D

Well-you now have a different "last trip" memory for the vets. Koko went in, came out and is just groggy. A lot of TLC and he'll bounce right back, I know. I know it was hard going there today. I am glad it was a successful trip. Sleep well, Koko. The weekend is almost here! Mom and Dad will both be home to stay for a couple of days very soon.
Hugs,
Bailey & her Mom :)

Awwww poor wee Koko, man you are going to have to give him loads of loving to make it up for this one!! He going to be feeling good once his mouth has healed up. Hope he is not too doolally on the meds, least he will be comfortable. Have you got Friday off to look after him, or I bet hubby will be there. Lots of good food and he will bounce back before we know it!! Happy Friday Addy, hope it goes well and then its the weekend!! Mine is already here and I have just had the best night out with old friends over from Sydney, far too much food and good wine!! Best night out in ages!! xxxxxxx

well I guess my complaining about last year helped because they tweaked his anesthesia and he has bounced right back even with six teeth out. That and the added dose of Tramadol. He did not need more than half.

I laid on on the floor next to our chaise where he lay last night and held his paw and rubbed his head. By the time hubby got home his tail was up and he went out to pee.

He seems really good this morning.

The vet has the CET toothpaste so I may pick that up when he goes in for his recheck. The pet store only had enzymatic Arm and Hammer.

I stopped giving him the bully sticks as I was afraid he would crack a tooth. I wish there was something I could give him that I did not have to worry he would swallow hole or crack a tooth on. Hopefully, the brushing now will help him.

Off to give him his tramadol. Hubby has nurse duty today, I have to work.

Have a great weekend!!!

So glad to hear that he is doing so much better today! That tweaking of the anesthesia must have done the trick.

A bit of a brush here, bit of a brush there. :) I need to take molly in for a dental too. Just going to have to bite the bullet on that one at some point.

Thank goodness the weekend is finally here!

love
Sharlene

I am so glad Koko did well with his dental. I hope he is ripping and rearing again soon!
