I learned to get children’s Claritin for my Libby, it taste like candy so she will eat it. She is a Morkie all 10 lbs of her. Benydrl for anything else. I’ve got 2, Stan is my Senior and a Peekapoo. Poor fellow is hard of hearing and blind from cataracts which is a poodle trait.
Are you sure it’s Reglan, that is used in human Gastroparesis..Slow Motility and is black boxed for 12 days due to neurological side effects? It is for puking. Not an antihistamine which would be given for a bug sting or Predisone.
Strange other than the usual childhood crap of Chickenpox, measles both kinds, and mumps I was a healthy child. Now I’m paying for it in what is supposed to be my ‘golden’ years, 67 is not old for the females in my family, most lived well into their 80’s and late 90’s.
Don’t talk to me if I’m in another room either. We are going round and round with the eye issue, they want to blame it all on dry eye, when I’ve never seen well out of the left eye following Cataract surgery and it’s had a cold burn for 15 years, it sat in the center of my field of vision. Second Cataract didn’t come out until 5 years ago, no issues with that eye. Only had 3 eye lid infections in 15 yrs. Eye drops makes the dryness worse and Restasis is a NO drug as I’ve auto immunes. Vision fluctuates by the day. Fibromyalgia and Hypothyroid are both considered auto immunes. FMS (shorthand) effects both nerves and the 6 muscles in the eyes as well as all muscles. And the wacky white/red blood cells in the bone marrow has the Hematologist puzzled as all his test are not answering the reason why...jut that it is not Leukemia. Something to do with inflammation, which 2 forms of arthritis produce is the most logical explanation.
:-D Awww DH usually gives the meds now (Tramadol for one, Phenobarbital for another- 2 boys, & Dimmitrol for our girl & 2 of our 3 boys) because we’ve settled on Braunschweiger as the pill pocket & I hate it.
I’m pretty sure. It is Metaclopramide (I *think*- the bottle isn’t in front of me) I always get it confused with Metronidazole, so I opted for Reglan (Is that wrong? The vet didn’t correct me) so I could keep them apart. Yes. By 4 yesterday, her muzzle was back to normal, so it was the nausea that had me concerned. She’s much better so far.
No one can say neurological to me anymore without my stomach knotting up. We almost lost this little girl (Lina) in 2010 due to Ivermectin toxicity. Happily, the Reglan will be brief. Anyway, she was this >< close to the seizure/ coma stage.
$4000 & 5 vets later, one of them finally acknowledged it. 54 days after her last dose, she turned around & has been great since.
She is not MDR1, allegedly (tested by UWashington), but she can’t be sedated with traditional anesthesia, either- neither Torbuterol/ Acepromazine nor Ketamine. And she had bad side effects from Deramaxx. So I’m careful.
I lost my 2 dearest girls- one that we’d had from 6 weeks & my little right hand Reskie girl to an unspecified degenerative neurological disease/ disorder 2.5 years apart. Our older one, Gypsy, started 3-7 months after major surgery for a tumor. Our acupuncture vet thought it was her arthritis getting worse & then, possibly a cord tumor. She was 12 by the time we realized it was something bad & I’d promised her she’d never have to go through any major vet stuff again. So we just kept her comfortable & took care of her.
My Reskie, Mia, started developing a stagger 4 months after we lost Gypsy. Initially, the vet thought it might be a brain tumor, but a local MRI ruled that out & we took her to (Texas) A&M a few months later because their MRI machine is one of- or the, most sophisticated ones in the country. And their neurologist, Jacob Levine, is top notch. Mia was having tiny brain bleeds. We tested her for all kinds of stuff, but couldn’t find out why. Her illness progressed identically to Gypsy’s, but Mia also lost the use of her front legs, at the end. Gypsy didn’t.
These two had nothing in common but 2006, the food they ate (which all 8 of my dogs ate), their vacs & Heartgard.
There’s a link to their picture on my page. (I’m trying to get them all posted, but so far- not so good)
I’ve always been really healthy, too. I still am, for the most part- just getting older & lol my misspent youth (WHO grew up?) has caught up with me. LOL It’s murder when I do get sick because I never get sick. I don’t go to the doctor anymore. It’s just never been a good thing. I have a DNR card & DH has orders to let me go. (Thankfully, we’re on the same page.) Life is just too short to waste it going through hell. I’d rather cut to the chase & get Home.
