Can't help with your confusion Brian, but glad Daisy is doing OK!
I like to have some knowledge and ideas to discuss with her Neuro rather
than sit there like and idiot saying nothing so help and thoughts please.
Hi
We saw her neuro last night for a progress check ,I advised she is still scratches occasionally, but not a lot, and that her
medication of 2x100 mg Gabapentin from what I can see has not really made any great change to her scratching .I requested
a possible increase of the Gabapentin from 2 daily to 3 but her neuro wanted to include Omeprazole into her meds and of course
did not want to vary two meds at the same time so it was decided to proceed with the inclusion of the 10 mg of Omeprazole for
a three week trial then possibly increase the Gabapentin to 3x daily if needed .Her daily meds are now 3x50 mg Zitac ,2x100 mg
Gabapentin and 1x daily of 10 mg Omeprazole .I asked why would she take both the Zitac and Omep if they are both CSF reducers
and was advised that the Zitac acts as a fluid reducer and the Omep acts to try and reduce the production of spinal fluid ,am I right here or am I suffering from information overload . Any comments ,thoughts,advice or guidance most welcome please .
Daisy unfortunately has what was a small pimple on her left side which has now developed into a larger fibrous cyst/wart which I know has to be removed so I have arranged an appointment with a surgeon at C/Gates right after we see her neuro in three weeks time ,so tonight its off to my local Vets with Daisy to ask for a referral letter to them on the grounds that as she has a Grade 4 murmur I would like C/Gates to operate as they have a full time anaesthetist and a complete range of emergency equipment . My poor Daisy .
My Dawn's hospital appointment last Friday resulted in the endoscophy finding more ulcers some of which are still bleeding and with her
colonoscophy she found it to be too painful halfway through the procedure and told them to stop. So she has been summoned back to
see her consultant who wants her to have the colonoscophy again ,we go on .
Hi
Daisy is a lot better today hardly any scratching so thats good and this afternoon took Dawn to see her consultant a Mr Guy Pritchard he is happy
with her they found a cyst on the liver but not bothered with that and no sign of The Big C "hurrah" .She had to go for bloods to check her
iron levels and if they are ok she is discharged and to just go and see her GP .Been a good day .
Hi
Not a single scartch so far but we know we hope for a reduction not total elimination .I have done nothing but read and think about
Daisy's problem since Wednesday and came to the conclusion I need something else to think about rather than SM, so before I phoned
North West Surgeons and we see Mr Simon Swift at 10.15 am Tuesday 2 nd Jan 2013 now I can think and read about MVD in Cavaliers,oh well .
Also pondering about off camera flash contol between the Nikon SB 900 and the D 800 using a Pocket Wizard Mini TTI Transmitter and a Pocket
Wizard Flex TT5 Transceiver but all of it is totally baffling ,help ?????
