Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

We have dry heat here. It cools down at night so it's not too bad. During the day it's AC all the way. The best time for the pool is in the evening when the sun sets. Yes, Buddy is lying quietly now.

He was doing great until his prednisone was cut back to once per day. He lasted several days and did okay on once per day, but then everything fell apart. They were trying to get to his lowest possible dose. We went too low. The swelling around the tumor came back. It comes back suddenly if it isn't controlled.

And your brain is in overdrive... Are you doing ok?

I know it's hard but you should try and get a couple of hours cause your little hunter will probably still wake up at 6 and we don't want you going days without sleep again.

At least you don't have the burden of work to worry about next week so you can get this sorted for him.

Buddy is not asleep, or he's moaning in his sleep. No I am not doing okay. There is no way I can sleep when I hear him making those noises. Yes summer vacation is a godsend. Otherwise I would have to get up in four hours and go to work. I've done it before.
Kathy

I know you need to get on with your day. You do not have to stay with me Mel. Thank you for visiting and keeping me company. Love you lots. Belly rubs to Boycie.;)

I thought he had settled down, would never say sleep if he's moaning no way I would be able to either.

I don't have to go anywhere yet, I don't want to either, I think I can relate to how you are feeling and I know those long nights, they can be very lonely.

I am here too Kathy, back early from the dinner party. So I will be here for hours yet, so I will be checking your thread like crazy. It does sound like the Prednisone is kicking in pretty quick, if he was still sore I would give the extra Tramadol if he is allowed it, hopefully he will go to sleep and wake up with the full effects of the Pred on board. Have you given him something sweet, just in case it was his blood sugar dropping?

Hey Trish, nice to see you real time.

Don't go quiet on us Kathy, how you both doing now?

I didn't think about his blood sugar and his hypoglycemia. He usually gets head tremors when that happens, But it does affect his ability to walk. I gave him's a little food with his meds. If his blood sugar was low it's probably better now. If it is blood sugar, It usually doesn't happen two nights in a row, so I'm thinking it's probably the tumor and the prednisone problem. He is also been getting many more meals than usual because I've added SEB three times per day. I mix canned food with that.

A little smear of that syrup you give him wouldn't hurt though, then we can tick off that we have covered that. Smear a little on his gums. Probably not, as you say no tremours, but its an easy thing to do and won't hurt him if its not that. :)
