Dear pals,
First I want to thank you all for your POTP, I know it is helping. But I am getting ahead of myself.

| Thanks to Ann for making this for us and Madi's Lady for helping. |
When I last shared we were waiting for Lady to catch my pee in a ladle, which she did well. She can add this to her many talents. The Man took it to the vet for analysis, and I have stage 1 kidney disease, which is not completely unexpected in a girl of my age (more on that tomorrow).
The vet and Lady picked an anti-inflammatory and anti-seizure meds that should be the easiest on my organs. That day after work, Lady drove to the vet to get my anti-inflammatory. It wasn't ready so she waited 25 minutes for it. Then she drove to the human pharmacy to get my anti-seizure meds, and waited 30 minutes for them to say they had to order it. You can imagine how happy she was to only get home from work at 7:45, needing to eat dinner, when she had left the house at 5:30am.
Anyway, the meds were ready the next day and she got them and it got shoved down my throat. The next morning, my friends, I was really, really not ok. I could barely walk. Lady said I was like Bambi walking on ice. I fell down a step. It was scary for my people and me. Lady stopped all medication and called my doctor.
The vet called later that day and said these side effects should be short lived and we had to ride them out. It would have been nice if they had warned us all first. So my people put me back on the drugs and every day since I have been better. I am a little off balance at times, but nothing like I was. And, already the seizures have decreased, especially the bad outside ones.

Because I am seeming a bit better, and being a little crazy and trying to do things like play, my Lady knows I am feeling better. Again, thank you for all your POTP.
your pal, the slightly tipsy Hailey Bug

ReplyDeleteWell, yes, and thanks to the vet peeps who seem to have found a formula that works for you! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx (who will keep you on the POTP list because, well, you know, it costs nothing but Love...)
Hailey...bless your wee precious heart. Starting new meds can be dicey at first. Thankful all you are better. You have such a devoted team of family and Vets. Lots of hugs and warm purrs to you, Phod and your dream team

That must have been very scary for The Lady and The Man. We know how much they worried when Angel Ciara would have seizure after seizure. We are so happy that the meds seem to be helping and that your peeps are trying so hard to make you feel good.

We're glad to hear the new meds are working for you but it sure would have been nicer to warn you about any side effects. Our paws are staying crossed for you and hope you are staying well.
