Have you forgotten about me?


Sorry I didn't follow up from my post on Wednesday.  Mom talked to Dr. Mike and we're going to re-do my medicines and keep me on the steroid for a little longer.

I mean... a little of the steroids was fine... but, really.  What does she want me to become?
 This?!

Because, honestly, I feel more like...
This...

I can't exercise, play ball, jump around like a crazy dog... I have to be super quiet and super unactive.  I can feel my manly structure falling apart.

But, momma says I have to stay calm and let the medicines do their work otherwise, we'll be talking surgery in a few weeks.  So, I'm trying my best because mom says if I need surgery it'll be painful and I'll really have to be calm for a really long time.  There's also a vet dude that volunteers with the rescue, so mom chatted him up this past weekend about me.  He agreed that maybe we didn't keep me on the steroid long enough and that redoing it was a good idea.  He also said about 5% of dogs need surgery for something like this.  I think mom felt better hearing the same thing from another doctor... ya know, she's all sorts of worried about me.  I told her there's nothing to be worried about!  I'm THE Corbin.  Which means, I'll get through anything.  Right?  Right.

  2. Hey Corbin!
    Wow, I think the extra meds will work fine and save you from that nasty surgery! Love the hulk pix and I'm sure you will still be all sorts of handsome no matter what! Lots of naps can be a good thing. Healing vibes still coming your way from me to you, buddy. Hang in there!

  4. Corbin I think it's fine if you gain a few pounds as long as you are getting healthier in the long run! You still look great.

    Your Mom was smart to get another opinion. . . just in case. I know it is tough for a super active dog like you to be idle until the meds work, but it will be worth it in the long run. Hang in there; I am rooting/routing/whatever for you ALL-THE-WAY!

  14. Corbin, I think about you all the time. I am sending an emergency batch of magic bubbles your way to help calm you and so you can relax and keep taking your medicine. I hate taking medicine but I think that surgery thing would be much worse. Maybe you could start watching soap operas to keep you distracted and try the food channel. Stay well my pal

  27. Corbin there is no way your manly structure will fall apart....you are just too much of a Stud Muffin for that to ever happen!

    Steroids are yuck BUT if they keep away surgery then they are great!

  32. Corbin pal. So sorry to hear you have to take more steroids. Is the inflammation in your spine caused from a slipped disc? If so, Mom wonders if a chiropractic vet might be an option to explore if you haven't already. Drives us nuts to think of you in pain pal. Paws crossed you're back to your old self soon! Sending you healing vibes pal!

  38. Corbin take it easy and you'll be ok. I took it easy, had a few setbacks, but now my knee is looking great with no surgery. Just take it easy and give it time. PAws are crossed for you.
