I am excited to say Dylan has been feeling much better already after only one dose of Pregabalin last night.
Dylan has barked for England today and I don't care because I'm glad he has the energy. He has had a full shower whereas I usually only wash the dirty parts as he doesn't have the energy for the zoomies to dry himself. Goodness he looks adorable all pearly white and fluffy. He played tug of war with his sister though he had stopped doing that recently. He's just had an all round happy day. Best of all he cuddled up to me in bed even though he usually moves to the end of the bed if I stroke him. I've also just noticed he's not sleeping behind my chair with head contorted between the drawers and wall but he's on the new bad he usually won't touch. cl*p

We are on day two of the switchover from Gabapentin. Last night he had his first dose of 50mg Pregabalin with 20mg Rimadyl. This morning he had 150mg Gabapentin and 20 mg Rimadyl and at 4pm he could leave out the Gabapentin if too sedated. He was quite active but scratched a bit so I only gave him 100mg Gabapentin and he will have his second dose of Pregabalin tonight with Rimadyl. The plan is to switch to something better than Rimadyl but, incase of a reaction, we need to introduce new drugs one at a time or you won't know which has caused it.
