Lorena, I am sorry to hear that Monster continues to have medical issues. Maybe its time for a second opinion, have another vet check him out, just a thought.

Well, the vet had him on 2 pain meds because she thinks it his disks again. I think I told yall that too. Well, 1 of the meds I had to stop giving him because it made him foam and shake his head a lot. So yesterday she switched him to a new med called buprenex. I gave it to him last night and it was WAY too strong. He could barely move and his tongue was sticking out a little. And today he's barely eaten and he's still a little drowsy and I haven't given him that med again. The vet told me to give him half the dose if I think he really needs it. I don't know why she gave him something so strong. We don't even know for sure he's in pain. If he is, its not enough to need to be sedated like that. Right? I feel so bad for him. I hope I didn't make the wrong decision... He's still feeling the effects of last nights dose and he just wants me to hold him all day... Please pray that he gets better soon.
