Re: Soaphie
I wouldn't have guessed constipation either. Please keep us posted, Tami! Continuing prayer for Miss Soaphie.

Re: Soaphie
Hi all,
Blood results back - I don't have exact numbers - just a quick call with Soaphie's doc. Blood work looks fine with the exception of her kidney numbers being a bit off. Awaiting results of urine analysis to see if they show a story to go along with the kidney results. Starting to give tramadol this evening.

Re: Soaphie
Good to have some obvious things ruled out at least with labs.

Re: Soaphie
Tami,
Just catching up on some threads, and missed yours, having some issues with Soaphie. I just hate it when they get old, not that I mind the extra care, but you worry so much, and want to fix it. Hoping that she feels better soon - and some cocktail that she is on, is the magic potient. Prayers sent your way, for you and your girls. Barb

Re: Soaphie
She is still needing to be fed by hand. We discontinued deramaxx a few days ago - unsure how long it should take to "get her back" if indeed deramaxx is the issue...

Re: Soaphie
Vet prescribed deramaxx for Kinser in the Spring for arthritis in his legs. We started giving him 1/2 tablet daily as prescribed but found that after two days he stopped eating. We stopped the deramaxx and have tested it a couple of more times. If he gets it more than two days in a row he stops eating. We know he does have arthritis but it seems easier on him to only give the deramaxx as needed - like when he's had more than average exercise - running, hiking days, etc... He goes Tues for his senior wellness exam and I'm going to ask if they'd consider tramadol instead of the deramaxx as I think pain relief may be a better fit for the arthritis. Kinser has always been sensitive to food related things and without Decker there hovering (threatening) to inhale his food, it would take a couple of days for his eating routine to get back to normal after not eating.
I hope Soaphie starts to come around soon. No fun wondering and worrying, especially when they can't say what is wrong. Give her a belly rub for me!
