Sonko 2/26/2020
Sonko had a good Vet visit today. And had his nails done.
Weight is at 42.2 lbs.
Had his last dose of the antibiotic Tribrissen this morning. No side affects. The bland diet, the probiotics helped. No dry eyes, he eyes still look beautiful and soulful. Urine culture next week.
Saturday he starts the 1/2 Pred. tab, 2x's a day. The pred side affects are hitting him hard with the urine. He tries. But sometimes just standing up makes him pee. He is wearing a male wrap most of the time. If at the 1/2 dosage he seems to not be improving and the incontinence continues Dr. Wallace will be changing his steroid. One where a higher dose can be used . (grrr I forgot the name of it..my jaw/mouth hurts from lots of dental work done yesterday).
He walks slow but steady.
He fatigues easy (legs start shaking)
He still has some difficulty walking up the walkway to the house esp if he just came back from a short walk. The incline gives him balance and muscle usage issues. The stairs..he revs up and just goes, its scary seeing him do that..sometimes he stumbles and it has been bad or I catch him.
side note..one day he was coming inside and old man Simba (14 yrs CC) was going out. They were passing each other just inside the door when Sonko stumbled and knocked into Simba. Simba tried to prevent his whole body from going into the large water bowl by the door..Simba ended up with a butt bath, soaked!
Sonko has been greeting visitors! And even at the front door a time or two!
Dr. Wallace commented that he didn't do the circling as before. Plus he was up on the bench. He still paced a bit, but not the mindless type he has been doing.
I keep hoping he can recover most of what he used to be. His personality has been showing up more often. Such as the cuddling..he used to love that. He did a goofy thing a few nights ago..he jumped into the dryer..I was checking on my Dad's clothes and he was helping (like he used to do..him and Sassy wanted the wool dryer balls). Next thing I knew he just sprung up and in.
