Sorry for the delay in letting everyone know how Lexi's spay surgery went on Monday. The surgery itself went well but she's been having issues pertaining to the medications since Tuesday. She was sent home with gabapentin for pain and a combo pain/anti-inflammatory pill vetprofin. Well, beginning on Tuesday she's really antsy, pants heavily and would cry - all of which are not like her at all. I kept her company while she was going through all that...
Yesterday Daddy called the vet and was told it was probably the gabapentin causing her reaction so she didn't get that medication last night. Instead they prescribed her trazodone which was supposed to calm her so she could sleep. Well, it didn't work. None of us slept past 1:30 this morning when she was moaning and really uncomfortable which for a dog means she was making soft growling and even crying sounds. Daddy brought her downstairs to her thick, comfy bed to get her to rest and she did do better down there...
But Isabella was up and that is completely not normal....
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

Wow - poor Lexie (and y'all and Mommy and Daddy) - I've never heard of such nonsense. There is a 3-day extended release SHOT for pain and inflammation - my kitties got it when they had major dental work. No problems at all...
Both cats got that shot after their dentals but it wasn't discussed as an option for Lexi. I don't know if it's available for dogs?
Aww, poor Lexi. I hope she is feeling better soon. This is just as hard on you as well as her. Better days ahead for all of you
Poor Lexi! I hope she is all better soon.
I hope she settles down soon. We always feel so helpless when things are not right with them.
Have a restful day and weekend. Scritches and lovies to all your babies and a big hug to you and J. ♥
Poor Lexi, I hope she is back to normal soon. Kuddos to your mommy for going to boot camp.
Poor Girl. I hope tonight is a quiet peaceful one fora ll 5 of you.
Poor Lexi, hope the medicine wears off and she'll feel better if she can get some good sleep time in.
Been there. It's not fun...and it lasts waayyyyy too long. I'm hoping she's turned the corner now and she can rest. Oh...and you too!
Goodness, feel better soon. My 93 year old Dad takes Gabapentin. Helps him a lot with the arthritis.
