down again...cause, really, what's the point if he's snorting anyway? So now I worry about harm to his liver; yet I had to follow doctor's orders or I'd have felt terrible if his nose inflammed again. I guess we just wait and see now. Just try keep him calm. Was wondering if anyone used some sort of herbal remedy to keep our little guys calm? I don't want to put him on some relaxant that will make him just lie there to be calm, and from the sounds of it, that's their next plan of action....more drugs. Anyway, hope Prince has a nice calm day. I took Ted to the park for a stoll. People must think I have a pot belly pig cause he's swollen from steroids and snorting like a littl piggy. Seems he can't sniff without snorting anymore. Compared to how he sounded with the tumor in his nose, at least I know he's more comfortable than he was prior to surgery. Just those episodes scare the heck out of us, don't the???? |
I know. I am concerned about using steroids also. Don't worry about what people say! As long as Ted is having fun, that's all that matters. I bought Prince a bottle of Rescue Remedy about a month ago, but I haven't given it to him yet...I'm concerned about the alcohol content. A lot of people give it to their dogs; the reviews have been mixed.
Yes, the episodes do scare me.
