 12 yr old, 4lb Mya limping
My 12 yr old, 4lb, Yorkie, Mya has been limping and holding up her right front paw. After examining her the vet felt it was a pulled shoulder muscle and gave her an anti inflammatory/pain med that upset her very, very sensitive GI system so now has given Mya Gabapentin. She is taking .25 twice a day for a week but no change yet. Mya is on Royal Canin Gastrointestinal low fat dry dog food because of her GI issues and so I understand the change in meds had to be made. There has been no x-ray done as of yet and they just say to continue the Gabapentin for another week or two. I feel like I should be doing more...any thoughts from anyone. She is eating well and of course drowsy from the med which is OK because it will give her leg/shoulder the rest it needs. Feeling helpless...
