| Pink Dog I read your whole thread.. I am so proud that Cali has improved to the point that you are able to have her home where she belongs. I am so happy that you gave all the praise to MSU. We are so very lucky to live only 17 miles from this great place. There is just no way that I can say enough good things about ALL the people at the university. Both our furkids have been patients there at different times. We have an almost 12 year poodle that has been seen there several times. Also an almost 3 year old Yorkie that had 12 baby teeth removed there. They saved our 13 year old grand beagle`s life more than once. She ate a whole turkey carcass one Thanksgiving and two lbs of white chocolate another time... Sorry this is so long but one more plug for MSU...my husband, son, daughter, daughter-in-law and oldest granddaughter are all almuni....So yes we are all MSU "Dawg" fans... |

Regarding the shots, the vets would not say that was the cause but in my heart I must wonder what triggered her immune system. It could be virtually anything but having her rabies vaccine just 2 months earlier is creepy...especially when many other dog owners report the same type of symptoms. Good luck with your trip and please keep us updated (I'll check your thread out).

| UPDATE: Cali is doing well. She is settling in to her old routine. She has lost a bit of her spunk and her bark is slightly weak (could be from having the endo tube when they did the muscle biopsy). Regardless, she is so happy to be home. We are giving her so much love and attention that I almost feel guilty. She just gives us the most beautiful looks as if she is trying to tell us something. It's like, "Mom, read my mind please". So I offer water, a trip outside to potty, or a massage. I'll try to catch a pic of one of her "looks" and post it for ya'll. On a different topic....Allison (the first vet student that had Cali) called me tonight to check on her. It was so great to hear from her and know that she really cared. Not to mention Cali's regular vet has been in consistent contact with us. I wish I could have a vet for my doctor.....LOL! Thanks to all that have mentioned the potty pad systems as my husband & I are trying to decide what type to get at this time. I'll let everyone know and keep you posted as to how it works!

Oh wow....thank you so much! You really don't have to do that, we are going back on April 16th and I was planning to get something then. Just wasn't sure where the best place is to buy one. I'm thinking of going to the bookstore.

| UPDATE: Cali is starting to get some of her attitude back (if I haven't already posted this). Today she barked at daddy when he got home b/c she was hungry. That's the first time in 3 weeks. She always feels she needs to let daddy know when to feed her. She is able to stand on her pads if not on a hard surface. We put them on carpet and she does much better. Daddy rigged up a camera so we can log onto our computers when at work to watch the babies in their room. I've noticed that her left front paw tremors alot, mainly after medicines when I do her exercises and relax her with a massage. It happens when she is falling asleep. Does anyone know if there are any side effects from her meds? Her meds: dilantin, prednisolone, valium, tramadol, pepcid. I hope I don't sound ungrateful but I feel down today. I feel almost like we don't know the full, true picture of what is going on with Cali.

| Some meds can cause shaking/ tremors. I do not believe that they have gotten to the bottom of this either. All the meds she's on may not even be needed. Not sure they can know she needs the meds if they don't know what's wrong with her. Last edited by lillymae; 03-21-2012 at 05:50 PM. |

My choice to buy MSU things would be the bookstore or the Lodge. The Lodge is very easy to find..408 Hiway 12 is the address. Ask anyone and they will direct you there.. It is a huge store that has everything Maroon and White except as someone said, ice cream. | |

i can say, though, its potent. opium based drugs always are. unfortunately i have had to use use more than tramadol in my time. i cant imagine having 4 other drugs in my system at the same time. im not trying to raise alarm at all, and i understand you are a nurse. but... as a person who has been force fed a few of these drugs , its not pleasant. cant imagine what a little dog feels like. positive note... a week or two, once that garbage gets out of the system, things will even out. that is some potent stuff. especially all at once. i hope she comes home, and i really hope the meds are reduced. side note... tramadol does not stop pain, it just makes you not really care if it hurts. it still hurts. if i could go back, and had a choice, id rather hurt that get tramadol forced on me. | |

| You aren't being ungrateful! You are being realistic. Your little girl is very sick and nobody seems to know exactly why. You may never know. Hopefully she continues to improve. While I'm not suggesting that she come off of any of her meds, it really just looks like they aren't really sure what they're treating for. While I can't tell you what's wrong with your girl, I would agree that they haven't gotten to the bottom of it. Any loving owner in this situation would be upset. If you are not comfortable with the plan that is in place, it is perfectly acceptable to get another opinion.
