Well, friends.... I don't have good news today. You see, Friday night my ouchies came back, and they came back with a vengeance.
These are the worst ouchies ever.
We've had my mystery ouchies under control since about April last year. I've had a few ouchies here and there while adjusting my steroids, but nothing major. Until Friday night... All of the sudden it hurt to do just about anything. I was screaming when I had to get up from laying down and even walking. This was, by far, the worst my ouchies have ever been. The momma took me to the vets on Saturday and talked with Dr. Mike... of course I acted like nothing was wrong when I got there so the vets would think the momma is a crazy person. But, they increased my steroids again and I'm now back to taking 20mg of Prednisone twice a day... which makes everyone worry about my heart because we started decreasing my heart meds.
Anywho... I've had 5 doses of the 20mg Prednisone so far, but I'm still quite ouchie. Not as bad as Friday night, but usually the medications help me get ouchie free quicker than this. I'm just going to relax and chill out until all my meds take control. What is super concerning is the fact that I'm on 300mg of gabapentin (a nerve blocker)/3 times a day, 3 tramadol/3 times a day and now the increased Prednisone (I was previously on 5mg, every other day). That's a lot of medications that I've been on for my tail that should make me ouchie free anyway!
Ah well... here we go again.
Oh Corbin, we're so sorry that you're hurting again. Sebastian still has ouchies in his hip where he had surgery a while ago and he thinks he can fix it himself. So now he's wearing his cone again and that makes him sad. Wish you two boys can feel good and happy again soon.

I'm sorry you are having the ouchies again Corbee...you need to quit worrying your mama so much! Get better soon!
ReplyDeletePoor boy!!! We do so hope you are feeling much better again soon. Ros and Oscar
ReplyDeleteOh no Corbin, I'm so sorry to read this :( I really hope those meds do the trick and you're feeling better again soon. Also, I didn't realize that you were on so much prednisone! Nemo is on prednisone (along with other things) on a daily basis too, so I understand the concern. Lots of luck to you and your momma that that you kick that ouchie's butt!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so sorry Corbin! I know your Moms was all kinds of happy when your ouchies eased up on you. Bummer dude. I'll be keepin' my paws crossed for you, and that your ouchies gets better, and your heart stays strong.
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby
Ob Corbin, I so hate those ouchies bothering you again. We sure hope those meds help you quickly my friend.
ReplyDeleteOH CORBIN Dear Furend.... we feel just terrible for you...
ReplyDeleteMaybe all the other pain meds... caused you to feel SO painfree that you did somethingy a bit TOO strenuous... and didn't even REALIZE it at first.
Our PAWS are Crossed that this is just a little glitch or catch or strain or pull of some sort.
Is there any chance that ACUPUNCTURE (like Shawnee the Shepard has done)would help you... in place of some of the meds.?
Is there anythingy that WE can do to Help??? Besides crossed Paws and STRONG VIBES>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ?
We vote to go to a specialist for more X-rays and MRI. Poor baby. All our feets are crossed
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily

Oh no, Corbin!! I'm so sorry your ouchies came back. :( We're going to keep all of our paws crossed that you feel better REAL quick and they're able to figure out what's WRONG.
