A hopefully ended vet-cycle
Mar. 27th, 2021 02:54 pmA couple of weeks ago, I took Ragnar to the vet to check on his teeth because his obsessive biting had gotten worse and his screaming (esp nightly) has been worse than ever.
To my shock, his teeth are fine, but he has backpain. Vet prescribed meds. Meds made him puke - a few days after I stopped giving him it he was puking blood. (Thank God for the washing machine!)
Another vet visit - vet prescribed anti-acid, easy-on-the-stomach food, and another pain medicine.
The following day Elsa's face started bleeding.

Called a vet who said it was probably allergies. Made an appointment on Thursday.
On Wednesday, she started bleeding even worse. Called the vet and asked if they had time. Packed Elsa into a cab and went.
Vet drew lots of blood with Elsa in a strait jacket.

Vet prescribed cortison which stopped the bleeding.
Started giving Ragnar his pain meds, which makes him sleep all the time now.

Took Elsa back to the vet for more blood to be drawn yesterday. The staff seems to love her.
I hope this is the end of it. Ragnar hasn't screamed for two days and Elsa hasn't bled since she went back to her old food.
