I agree the Meloxicam is a good choice Baytril has changed since I worked

Isn’t it just an antimicrobial antibiotic?

Sorry, can you just explain why you think it’s a weird choice?

Changed my mind after reading it seems the name is similar to old medication

Quick update:

She is now gripping with her right foot, very strongly I might add. She absolutely does NOT want to be in the sling anymore. She’s starting to use her left leg as well but not putting weight on them yet. She’s still eating like a little piggy and is nice bright and alert.

Poops are normal.

She’s getting the Meloxicam once daily, the Baytril twice daily and I’m still giving a B12 vitamin daily.

I think by the end of the week, if this progress continues, she will be walking this weekend.

Sounds very positive that she was bruised bad

Well.. nugget is pretty much the same.
We’ve finished the Baytril and the Meloxicam, I am still giving vitamins and giving her a bit of egg each day.
The right leg works almost normal but the left leg, is still having problems. Her grip isn’t strong on the left leg and the whole leg seems really tight.

It’s been 2 weeks, I know she’s miserable being in a tub and not outside.

Is there any chance with another week or so of working her legs/feet, they could start working??

I’m thinking it may be kinder to put her out of her misery.. any advice is appreciated.

I have to agree chances are she will not regain full use has she been outside at all ?

Yes, several days when the weather has been pretty. Currently sitting outside with her now. She kind of flops around but still can’t put weight on either leg.

Still has a great appetite, currently munching on a piece of squash, also had a scrambled egg and some seed.

When you paid for the x-rays the legs are not broke correct ?
