We picked Bogie up before lunch. Dr. Moseley wants to wait on the CT scan and see if some different meds will help. He's now on Meloxicam (Metacam) a NSAID anti-inflammatory, and Gabapentin, which is used for chronic pain. The only thing he could find wrong was with his left shoulder. It grinds and sounded like bone grating on bone when he manipulated it while he was under for the myelogram, and he called it "chondrolysis" of the shoulder. He said he manipulated all his joints, legs, etc. and this was the only thing out of the ordinary. Bogie did not cry or yelp while at the vets, got in and out of the crate fine, just limping on the left front. We realize this could be because he was still under the drug effects from the myelogram. Dr. Moseley said to let him move about on his on, no crate, but no running, jumping etc., with short walks, see how he does, and report back in two weeks if all is going OK. If the new meds do not help in a few days to let him know, and he will set up the CT scan. For now he's sacked out, sporting a 3 x 5 shaved patch on his back. So we'll see how it goes.
