Welcome to YT and sorry it is under such circumstances. Since Ricky has been evaluated by 4 vets, it sounds like you are staying on top of his condition, but like the others said, I would report the blood in his stool. I would be concerned about internal injuries. Neither the gabapentin (for nerve pain) nor the tramadol (pain med) are known necessarily for irritating the stomach, and the omeprazole (prilosec) is used to treat stomach irritation. The potential for internal injuries concerns me as a more immediate problem. The use of the leg sounds like a longer term recovery issue, once you know he doesn't have any internal damage. I would think that a contrast CT scan or bleeding scan wouldn't be a bad idea at this point. Good luck and keep us updated. Prayers for Rickys complete recovery. (Love the names Ricky & Lucy!!!)
