The old guy finished his Ulcer Medication, and is now only going to be taking a Prednisone 20mg every other day, as well as a Pepcid AC daily. No more Palladia to cause him ulcers and worse, and at the low cost of around $1000 a month. He is doing terrific. If he did not have the gray hair, you would think he was around 5 years old. He is muscled back up, has the stamina, and fun personality again. Sometimes the cure is the killer. I am sorry I had him on Palladia after his Chemo, as it only offers side effects, and does not work in over 50% of the cases in the trials. It was just approved for use, and at $24 a pill (Carlo took 9 pills a week), it made him sick. My regular Vet is also glad he is off, and the Specialist said, well, it may work to keep if from coming back, possibly. He would have no quality of life on it. Every day he is around is a holiday, and every meal a feast. |
I'm so glad to hear this. Here's hoping he continues to enjoy his life with you! |
I'm so glad to hear Carlo is feeling like running and playing again. It just thrills my heart.:) |
No regrets, Steve. You had to try it. Thank goodness it was a temporary thing and Carlo is doing well again! I know I am repeating myself : Carlo has the most wonderful parents in the world! :) |
I am so glad Carlo is doing better. When my pom had Cushing's the medicine was making her so sick and not doing much for her cushing's. We pulled her off of it and my vet tried anipryl for her cushing's and dementia. She had another year or so of pretty good quality of life. So sometimes the medicines are worse than the disease. Hoping Carlo has many more good days ahead. |
