I made the mistake of carrying little Pooh Bear around when she was first ill with Pancreatitis. She still whines and cries for everything. It is so nerve racking. Like a baby sick and cannot tell you and continues to cry. Then you never know how bad the pain is. I feel the more they can do the better.. Then they do not depend on you for everything. She was such an independent little thing. I created it all. Is Bella any better? I did not catch if you really found out what it was or what meds she is on if any. How about the others. Hope all are well. My little one just got over a small attack. The Budesanide is a GODsend..... Just changed her whole way of living. Keeping you and Bella in my prayers. Jessie and Pooh bear

Should I be worried if Bella is shivering but she isn't cold? Tonight was the first night that I stopped giving her the steroids twice a day (instead I give her it to her once a day). Do you think that has anything to do with it?

no that should not make her shiver but i would call neurologist in am as may be due to her condition

here is a link to side effects of prednisolone

Prednisolone: Pain Medication For Pets (Dogs) - 1800PetMeds

put a sweater or sweatshirt on her or throw some towels in dryer and warm her up - do her ears feel cold?

maybe it is the other med you are giving her possibly ? call a pharmacist at walmart as they are 24 hrs or cvs pharmacist or albertson's pharmacist and ask if meds could be causing this as they know alot about meds

Yes, she is in pain. They will hide it as long as possible. Pooh takes Tramadol. 50mg, 1/4 tab every 6 to 12 hours. Ofcourse depending on her pain. It has handled her pain pretty weel so far.When she active with her illness, I just give it regular. I can tell by her poop now when it is coming on . She is on several other meds also. If you don;t have any I have plenty. let me know and you can come over and pick it up. It takes awhile for it to kick in. If you have a vet on call, they can giver her a shot to work faster. Let me know what you decide. You have my number. Jessie

She could be in pain. If the fluid is building up in her brain it can give her a headache. Did the Dr tell you to cut back on the pred? If not then I would continue the meds as prescribed.

I think she's a real person trying to be helpful... too new for me to tell.

lillymae · 02-17-2010, 09:20 PM

At this point I would absolutely not give her anything that was not prescribed by her vet.

Just thought it was weird how she said I can go over and pick up some meds but she lives in camarillo, ca and I'm in eureka, ca. Also, I don't know her number.

Well on her prescription, it says to give it to her for a week 2x a day, then 1x a day for the next week, and 1x a day every other day the following week. We're in week two.

kjc · 02-17-2010, 10:02 PM

I would just make the vet aware this is happening, for sure, asap... as nobody's sure yet what she's dealing with. This is scary bc another dog was started on the wrong meds for a differnt condition, and it ended up making her actual condition a lot worse. May end up she might need to stay on the Pred until something else is resolved... hope no drug interaction... I'm not familiar with neuro drugs... just the ones I've taken! JK!

lillymae · 02-17-2010, 10:06 PM

I'm wondering why the vet is trying to wean her off the pred. My dog had to take it from diagnosis till she passed away.

Yeah I'm not too sure myself. I'll call the neuro tomorrow to double check.

I was researching hydrocephalus last night also and it stated that she should have shown signs when she was pup. Bella's condition just stated less than a week ago and she doesn't cry (no head pressing or anything)...it's just her head tilt, walking and her eye. Also, vet says her right side of her body is a little weak. It's so frustrating.

Not always true. My dog showed no sign or symptoms till she was 5 yrs old. It depends on where the cyst is exactly and how fast it grows.
