what did he say about pain meds though as nervous her being on nsaids for a long time |
When they get the harness thing in I think thats when we will be making the appointment to see the Physical therapist and she will show us how to put the harness thing on and physical therapy stuff we can do at home and stuff she can do there. He said use best judgment with the pain meds right now but we bought a second set of doggy stairs for the living room and so she isnt jumping and I think that really has cut down on her hurting and she hasn't limped sense Tuesday. I am watching her VERY well to make sure she doesn't jump and she has almost 100 percent got the use the stairs dont jump thing down its amazing how fast shes learning. Shes not supposed to really run either and the snow if pretty much keeping her from doing that. He said that jumping is the biggest thing I need to worry about.
