Today was a busy day,first Nikki went in to have surgery!then i had to go to see my doctor because of some wicked pain Ive been having in my neck!Corey was suppose to have his splint taken off today,but he already did that him self!Corey is still limping,so between me and the dogs the only place we have been going to is the vets or to the doctors.This afternoon i will go pick Nikki up from the vets,I know Corey misses her already.I spent my birthday in bed with ice packs on my neck.Hope Corey and i start feeling a little better so we can go out for a walk up waterville valley and get some fresh mountain air!
Corey is out of his splint his foot was staying to wet with all the rain lately and he started chewing on the end of the bandage!Good news is the swelling is down but he is still limping.im trying heat wraps to see if that helps.
Corey was xrayed again,and it still looks like a very bad sprained wrist!He is now in a temporary cast for the next week or so.we also weighed him and he was a whopping 130 pounds!!!think allot of the weigh is because of the increase of prednisolone,but we are checking on his thyroids to see if that is part of the problem.So the plan now is to get him down to 105 pounds!I will cut back on the prednisolone and will be giving him SLENTROL (DIRLOPIDE) to help with his appetite.When he can walk again he will be able to play and run around and chase butterflys that should help burn off the fat to!
Corey will be going to the vet saturday july 19th to see what the status is of his right wrist injury is,he still is limping very badly but does'nt cry out in pain.when he first fell i had never heard him scream out in pain as he did in the 5 plus years that we have been working together!his head injury is okay accept for 2 small scars under his nose and one on the edge of his eye.he is taking 20 mg of prednislone and no pain meds
Corey went to see the vet today!They tripled his pain medications and he will stay on a high dose of prednisone for now!
If the swelling doesn't go down in a few days he will have to get some more X-rays to see if any bone chips got in between the joint!
Plus he got his PERCORTEN-V injection for the Addison's disease today.
Id like to thank those of you that were able to help out with some of his bills,every little bit helps.
MANY THANKS FROM PETE AND COREY!
Corey is doing great he is still on the same medication's.Its been a challenge keeping his weight down!
