I am to up the dosage of her Tylan powder. We lowered it a few months ago and now coming to think of it.. On the old dose she was doing excellent.. and now we are experiencing flair ups.. She is doing bloodwork and in suit will follow an ultrasound. This way we will be able to take a closer look at everything in there, intestines, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, etc.

The ultrasound will be within the next week. She decided against the BAT test as she felt an ultrasound would be the next best step to really look at everything.

The sad news.. On her x-rays of course her back bones show up.. and she found The few discs right before her tail, are completly diffused together. She is putting on a very low dose of Tramadol that actually is goes on her ear tip, so this will not interfear with her very sensitive GI system. She says this could be why she is waking up in pain.. Things have finally settled down from daily activities and this is why she is waking up in jerky pain. I am not sure on the length of therapy she will need from this or what we are up against. I am still shocked.


Soooo that is where I am at now.. My head is spinning right now with questions... But we are getting answers and headed in the right direction.

Ok.. I already goofed not discs are diffused her Vertibrate are. I'm not sure if that's the same thing or what.. I'm still trying to understand it
