Well, overall it was a better week. She's still no where near 100%. We received the harness on Monday and it has definitely helped us and her out. Getting her up and down the stairs and up from the floor when she slips is definitely much easier with this harness.
Never realized I started a post and didn't complete it.
We're going on week 4 of Athena's ...convalescence. SO for all this time she has not been at playcare, not been to the dog park, and has not "played". It really is hard to say if she's doing better? I think whatever happened to her may be permanent.
Not once has she walked 'normal' for her. She either walks with her body bent at an angle or she can barely lift her body up. The few times she stands right, her paws fold under her.
My biggest concern is her mental well being. I'm afraid she'll become depressed from inactivity or stimulation.
We've taken her up to day care to say HI and she's been quite happy. However otherwise, there isn't much else. She does interact with her siblings, so that is good--but overall I fear she's not living life.
Our vet has indicated she is a good candidate for a new therapy. T-Cyte injections. However, as of right now we cannot afford $125 an injection. Maybe after the holidays.
Her current regime of meds:
AM
200mg of Gabapentin
50mg Rimadyl
1ML 250ml of Cannabidiol
PM
200mg of Gabapentin
50mg Rimadyl
