Great advice. I also agree w/ EllieMay/Crystal.
Brooke, I'm so sorry Tate is hurting
. Marcel goes down on his front legs whenever his tummy hurts. So since Tate had poo issues and she vomited - it makes me think she 1) might be in knee pain (like you already said) and 2) might be in tummy pain too -- so she may be going down on her knees for a few different reasons.
Maybe she needs both a different pain med and something to help her tummy deal w/ the pain med (sucralfate?). Could your Ortho and/or just call something in to your Pharmacy w/out seeing her, until Monday? Or a close compounding Pharmacy?
Please keep us posted...and know that she will be in my thoughts, and Marcel and Wylie's as well - they send their kisses!
