Still in a lot of pain. I’m really worried.How is Carlos doing..?
He got the new ones yesterday. I know I’m being impatient but I can’t stand seeing him hurt.How long has he been getting his new meds ? It may take time for the level in his blood to get high enough for a good effect
Aww. Well that does sound promising.So we got home. The vet thinks he injured his neck somehow and pretty bad too. That is why he was twitching his head to the right. He thinks he has him on the right combo of meds but sometimes you have to add an opioid to it to make it work for certain dogs. He’ll remain on the bone med 1x a day. The nerve pain med 2x a day and an additional small amount of opioid 2 x a day for just enough for 3 or 4 days with the opioid. After that, he’ll continue with the bone and nerve meds until they are gone. Hoping this helps him heal. If not we’ll need a referral for MRI at Purdue and possible surgery. Which is hugely expensive. So please pray he heals and will not need that. That opioid has kicked in and he is resting now. Hopefully I can relax a bit too. He won’t let me out of his sight.
