Sorry for the late response - I missed the notification email. He seems to be doing ok on the butorphanal. It's the only pill he's ever taken willingly so I guess he likes it... hopefully I haven't turned him into a junkie or something. I think they want to add gabapentin or replace the butorphanal with it, but I haven't been able to get an appointment with the vet specialist yet. All the neurologists have been gone for the holidays. I'll get him an appointment next week. I'm not sure what the plan is with the anti-inflammatory yet.
After day 2 the nausea stopped but the meds definitely make him drowsy. He spends a lot more time sleeping than he usually does, but it's probably good for him to relax and not jump around and hurt himself.
I'm hoping maybe this is an injury and not a congenital issue, but knowing Kirby, it's probably the latter. I feel like he is too young to have all these issues. |
