[QUOTE="Subion, post: 2029633, member: 114709"] I’m having a hard time right now telling how she’s doing in all honesty. One day she acts better the next she acts like she’s feeling down again. I don’t know what is how she’s feeling or if a side effect from the meds she’s on. The other day her paw was really swollen and if I held it a certain way it seemed like the swelling would go down after awhile or even if she’d be in the sun and putting pressure on it it would. So I started thinking it’s something with the circulatory system. I have not been able to get it down like that since that day though. Her right paw is extremely swollen and left may be very little in it. It seems like when she first gets up they are swollen a good bit but they go down some after she’s up a bit. She was even starting to lay with her legs behind her like she use to when sleeping. Now she holds it off to the side again instead of moving it downwards beside her body. That’s part of how I know her legs bother her. A few days after starting the antibiotic her stool returned to normal green color from a darker color and was shaped good even the urate looked closer to natural white where it has been a chalky looking color. The first time it happened I don’t know how she got it out it was so large. Even for the first few days she wanted down to swim soon as she saw water running. What surprised me was one day I tried to give her water and she wouldn’t drink any. Soon as she got in the pool she stared drinking the water like she’s not had liquids in awhile. She hasn’t drunk water out of her bath or pool in a long time. Probably almost going back closer to het first surgery. Then two days ago she was holding herself up more with her right leg only. She ate 2 blueberries and 4ml of crit care for lunch then ate 2ml more crit care before bed. Yesterday she just didn’t feel good at all. When we were at the park she held herself up very little and just wanted to lay most the time. She only took a small piece of apple for lunch and when we went home she was exhausted she acted like. I got her pool out and she didn’t want in it at first. She finally got in and swam a little. She went potty and the urates looked a little chalky again and stool a little darker with some orangish tint. So after she set in water awhile I gave her a little yogurt and let het go to bed. I got her up an hour later and took her back out since it’s getting close to med time and all she wanted to do was climb on my shoulder with the shade and lay with her head down. She wouldn’t even hold it up to look around. Right now we’re at the park and she is holding her head up a little bit still in a laying mode not using her legs. But at same time it is a little chilly today compared to yesterday. So the weather may be making her lazy. But to answer your questions her ionized calcium is done in Ohio every 2-3 visits it seems and this last visit is one they did it and told me it was the 2.49 instead of 1.4 it should be. Also every X-ray she has had done including this last one I was told her goes look good and are nice shaped with no irregularities. I was never told anything specifically about the density but I assume that is covered when they said they look good. This past week she’s outside usually 5-6 hours a day at least, the rest of the time she seems so tired she’s usually asleep and under a blanket to keep warm with no lights on her. Trying to let her rest more while the meds do their thing. [/QUOTE]
