The laser treatments really seem to be doing Tux some good, however, it's Wednesday and a new problem has developed so now we add Flagyl to the pharmaceutical meatballs she gets throughout the day. This latest is for gastrointestinal problems, in other words she has diarrhea. It's another bitter pill in addition to the horribly bitter Tramadol she hates, and the potential side effects are freaking crazy for a dog in her compromised condition. Seems like it's something new every week. I have to put her on a bland diet as well. Bland, but caloric enough that she won't lose weight. She was good at 57.5 pounds today.

Her new list of daily meds:
Tramadol (Nine 50 mg tablets) for arthritis pain
Fluconazole (1.5 tabs, 150 mg) for Valley Fever
Carprofen (half a 75 mg tab) for inflammation and arthritis pain
Metronidazole/Flagyl (500 mg twice a day) for diarrhea
Optimmune (in eyes once a day) for Pannus
Sheesh.
