Alexander didn't have a very good night last night. He wanted up, down, up, down, over and over. At least the way I have everything set up now, he can get up/down on his own, but I still stayed up and watched him in case he started to panic. He never did, though. He just seemed really restless....maybe not ready for bed yet? IDK. He seemed good this morning again. It was just so frustrating - he's been doing really well and I know I can't expect miracles from Anipryl, but I hated him having even a small setback.
On a better note, the new bedrail is working like a charm.
I really like it and the munchkins all seem to have adjusted to it already. Just having it there makes me feel so much better about their safety. Ladymom, thanks again for that awesome suggestion!
Oh, I had to go into Walgreen's a few days ago so I talked to the pharmacist about Alex's new meds. He was very nice and explained that they can only fill veterinary prescriptions if it's for a medicine that's also used by people. They don't stock animal-only medicines like Rimadyl.
So, I guess I'll be ordering that online from the website my vet told me about.
