| Cortisone Shot As many of you know, I posted a thread last Thursday telling about Aubrey getting a Cortisone shot. Well yesterday i started noticing that hes laying around everywhere and snapping at people. He ususally snaps at my sister, but now hes snapping at my step dad. So everywhere I take him he always lays down??? Is this something from the cortisone shot?? Please help! |

| I know when I take cortisone (for asthma) I get grumpy, hungry, tired and gain water weight so maybe that is what she is feeling. Also you get hot for no reason too. It should pass within a few days. Good luck! |

| I'm not sure, but cortisone shots do hurt. Just ring your vet in the am and tell him what's going on. I'm always on the phone with the vet. LOL

| They can, but I have to wait until tomorrow.. I could try the emergency vet, but they will prob want me to bring him im, which I don't want to do. To pay high dollar for them to tell me something that will pass by. I think I am going to call in the morning. |

| Shots My girls have to get cortisone shots & all my vet says it that they will eat/drink more. I'm not sure about the snapping. Hope your vet can tell you what's going on. Pam |

Thats what they told me. Nothing about him snapping/sleeping a lot... I am not going to do these shots anymore.. hope it wears off fast, because its not really helping, hes still scratching. Altough this shot cost me a fortune. | |
