JMO---when Gunner went down, we did the adequan series and prednisone for about 2 weeks, before he went completely down...the neuro in Tucson questioned why Gunner was not on a pain med...I told him the Vet did not think he needed it, and he told me---YES he does...so this time with Petunia---we did the adequan, prednisone and I asked for Tramadol to give her for a few days...after a few weeks a Vet that we take her to for therapy, also recommended putting her on another med and we did-for 2 weeks...she is at 5 weeks and doing good....next week will be 6 weeks, and we will just do leash walking for a few more weeks---no sling....we will crate until 8 weeks and go from there...we are still doing acupuncture for her also...
Mom to Gunner and Petunia.
