Hi Susan,
Bubba is doing good as far as the medicine goes, thank goodness. No bad side effects.
But the side he fell on his arm is still sore.
The only meds he’s on is Galliprant and Gabapentin.
X-ray showed “horrible arthritis” as one vet put it three months ago and put him on the Galliprant.
After he fell 4 days ago and hurt shoulder and x-ray showed no breakage or fracture another vet said his arthritis is “high” and put him on Gabapentin for pain.
I’ve read the Gabapentin works best when combined with another pain medicine, which would be the Galliprant. I’ve never heard of Physiotherapy or Cartrophen vet injection.
I can look into them thou. Don’t think the vets office has either or you would think they would have mentioned to me.
Sure will look into the wheat pack. He has a disk that came from pet store years ago that looks like a frisbe and you microwave it and stays warm for hours.
I put inside a pillowcase and under his cover and he can snuggle next to it.
Crock potted chicken feet for 24 hrs for bone broth and give Answers fish stock and Primal’s goat milk, sardines, fresh eggs, home cooked, Dr Harveys and so on.
Seems nothing helps this sweet boy with his arthritis!
Thank you for the info, Susan! Will look into all of it :0)
