So yesterday, when Leia got home, she was groaning in pain that kind of broke my heart! My Mom went to get her pain medication. Anders when she got back, I realized this was a much bigger deal than I thought it was at first! Her pain medication has Tramadol?! This is a narcotic that my Mom had to sign for! Oh babe, that has to hurt! But I read the side effects last night:
I was on steroids when I was in the hospital before I was first diagnosed and I was an a lot more than she is but I’m bigger than 38.7 pound dog. I also read the side effects of the prednisone:
She is walking slow and doesn’t have the pounds and her step that she normally does. Last night, my Mom took her out to go potty and my Mom has already told me about her ritual after she poops. She barely diid the housekeeping of covering the poop as she scratches the ground. She also normally will twirl around in circles like six times. I think that’s adorable! When my mom came in last night, she told me that she didn’t twirl! We made the appointment for her phase 2 overnight stay that will take place in July. She is not supposed to go on walks for two months. Watching how slow she is now and still remembering how she sounded when she was groaning in pain makes it all make a little more sense
