Prescribed Hycodan twice a day forever, Prednisone for about 12 days (will taper him down and off) and an Ase for maximum anxiety times.
Also, he's been in desperate need of a teeth cleaning and we've been putting it off because we were nervous to put him under. The vet said she would definitely recommend going through with it, but says we should do it at their hospital so if something does go wrong they have a full staff there. Of course, she gave me the heads up that it would be much more expensive than my regular vet. How do I NOT take him to the hospital for it? It's so risky that I feel like I don't have a choice.
He's doing fine right now... just resting. Me, I'm pretty bummed out. This didn't come on slowly like most - it was acute. So, I'm still really terrified and not over the shock yet. I can't believe I will have to medicate him the rest of his life and pray that he has a decent quality of life :-/
If any of you have any advice, I'm always ready to listen. Can use all the encouragement and advice you're willing to give.
