Hi
I joined the site some time ago, when I lost my last Cavalier with MVD. This site was a great comfort to me, reading other peoples stories on the loss of their beloved dogs.
On the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] of February (MRI) my lovely girl was diagnosed with a severe case of SM and since that day it has been a bit of a roller coaster with the medication!!!
She has been on 2 Gabapentin 100mg spaced 12 hrs apart & Omeprazole 10mg once a day. Unfortunately the Omeprazole upset her too much (tried again on 2 occasions) so we had to cut that out. She was doing fine on just the Gabapentin up until last night when suddenly she was unable to even climb up the step into the house from the garden. I am waiting for her vet to phone me back to advise us; although she seems slightly better today she is not back to lively self yet. She is now 6 yrs old, I also have her sister who at the moment is showing no signs. I am hoping that we can keep her on an even keel. Has anyone else ever had a problem with Omeprazole? If so, what alternative medication has been suggested?
