MINNIE TODAY

Minnie is well today and seems to be settling well on her medication.

It is so sad to read how many Cavalier King Charles are affected by Chiari-Like Malformation. I personally would recommend that they are all insured because the MRI scans are quite expensive.

The three page synopsis sent by Claire Rushbridge, Of Stone Lion Hospital, needs a lot of reading then I can enter the summary on the Blog. Anyone one who wants to know more about this condition please check out the links in My Blog.

More Later.

MINNIE DAILY UPDATE

Minnie went for a nice walk last night and went at her pace and enjoyed it

She had her ear drops in this morning but they make her legs collapse, however afterwards she is ok.

She seems in good shape although sleepy.

Medication Minnie is on at the moment

Up date on the medication that Minnie is on. At the moment she is on Metacam which is a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug;this drug is helping with her general well being.

Her ears that have narrowing of the canals need to be kept unblocked so she is having Canaural ear drops; when the ears have resonded to these drops they can start her on Cimetidine.
Cimetadine is a CSF pressure reducing drugs which may be sufficient to control signs in some dogs.
