I just don't know if I would see all this improvement if it was LP arthritis???
She will be 6 in. Nov |
interesting as dd has the LP and she is exhibiting some issues this past week and she is about the same age. I am going to check on when arthritis usually affects toy breeds as i know it is going to at some point with LP and her being on steroids.
I agree if she is feeling much better after meds probably not the LP trust your gut and watch the signs.
sulcrulfate (carafate) - ok just read notes from ims on sulcrulfate and dex weighed about 9lbs then - 1/4 tab (250mg) orally as a water slurry 3xs a day - remember that this medication should IDEALLY be separated from other foods or medications by 1-2hrs is what the ims said for dex.
At this hospital they have a girl Michelle who is awesome and all she does is handle medication - she is the expert there on all meds so I always call her as well as she is very sharp.
