Thank you Dr.
I’m going to try the rehabilitation center and see if acupuncture or cold laser therapy works. I’m trying really hard to keep positive. I will try one more vet and see what they tell me. Thank you for all the advice and support.
I have a neurologist appointment for him on 12/13/19 at Blue Pearl Hospital. ????????

I have not. I have taken him to 2 regular vets but I don’t feel that they have followed up with him as they should. They did not tell me anything about a follow up appointment . I am going to someone else. I don’t have enough money for an MRI . I am looking into rehabilitation centers. I think I’m going to try a place called BARC. He is currently on galliprant and Gabapentin for pain. They seem to help for 5-6 hours but then he starts crying (usually at night) I can’t tell if it’s from pain though or from wanting to be near me. He stops crying when I pet him or when I pick him up. I have noticed he also cries when he can’t get himself up( like he’s frustrated)
Does this mean a longer recovery time? He is now on day 15 since he went down. I have him on around the clock Gabapentin and galliprant which seems to help . He’s still very wobbly and can only walk a few steps before falling.
Hi Dr. Magnifico, thank you so much for replying. Half of me thinks he is doing it because he’s bored but the other half of me says that he does it because he’s in pain. Because right before he wants to start walking he cries a lot and then I stand him up so he can walk and he stops crying and only whimpers a little as he walks.
ok, so I will continue to let him walk around under supervision .
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the advice! I’m going to continue to fight with him as long as he can. He still looks like he’s trying his hardest!
