My Jack is down again
August 30 of last year, Jack went down. After 8 weeks of acupuncture, pred, muscle relaxants, pain meds, and crate rest, he recovered 100%. Now he has the same issue once again, as of Friday morning. We got up and he couldn't walk. I got him in to my awesome vet Friday; she did VOM and laser therapy, which she said has had some miraculous results. I also got pred, and she said if he wasn't walking by Friday evening (which she really felt he would), to start him on the pred. Well, he wasn't walking, and still isn't. She showed me how to catheterize him, since his muscles are so tight, and I did that last night. So it's back to more treatments, meds, and crate rest -- and I could use a lot of rayz and prayers that my Velcro Boy recovers as well as he did last time! And on top of all that, my S.O.'s truck quit running, so we're sharing my truck. When it rains . . . (And I didn't even retire, although I'm still unemployed.)
Hoomom who was blessed with Jack. RIP Sweet Cynda 6/3/10, loving Lexie 9/13/13 and Jack, 3/22/16.
