What Are You Doing Today ?

Have fun, TG!

I just checked my alt-currency account - I have 326,000,000 Satoshis! :hee:




... unfortunately, one Satoshi is worth about $0.000005. :(


Still - that's 326,000,000 Satoshis I didn't have LAST week! :2cents:

Aww...Hello Kitty is lucky to have such a kind playmate, hugs from me to the furkid. :love_heart:

Took a super chilly and semi-snowy walk in the park with my husband today, did a little housework and had some Chinese food for dinner. Doggy's been under the weather and not in good health lately, he wouldn't eat his dinner and had problems with getting the morning paper...keeping an eye and worrying about my baby, old age has recently been unkind to him.
 
Thanks Ina, he's been to the vets recently and put on antibiotics, we may be taking him in again this month to check for any cancers. His arthritis is worsening, and he's already on meds for that.
 
He's on Rimadyl (generic name is Carprofen), I don't give him as much as recommended though, because like many prescription drugs, it's harmful to the liver. I'm not a big fan of aspirin, even for people. If your vet has actually advised it, I would at least use "enteric coated" aspirin, as it is much more gentle to the stomach lining. Aspirin also thins the blood, so you must be careful if the dog is on any other medicines, or has bleeding issues.

With regard to arthritis, aspirin is sometimes used for dogs, but only with caution and under veterinary supervision. Drugs containing acetaminophen (e.g. Tyelenol®) are very toxic, potentially fatal to both dogs and cats.

Aspirin is in a class of drugs called NSAIDs - Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, and dogs are particularly sensitive to the gastrointestinal effects of; pain, bleeding, and ulceration that can be a side effect of these drugs.

Coated aspirin helps with the gastrointestinal effects.

I hope you're not losing her, as the dogs age, just like people, they may have incontinence issues, and some loss of control. Hope your baby's okay.
 
Today the only thing I did was get myself to the gym. Good workout, the first time I made it for over an hour on the elliptical machine, going 4 miles and working up a good sweat. I was about to give up at the 30 minute mark, because I felt like I couldn't go any longer. Starting looking at the control screen and realized I've been using the #10 incline :eek:...adjusted that to level, and was able to finish the exercise. :)
 
It is prescription only, by a vet. The last time I had the generic version Carprofen 75mg refilled was last month. It was $47.30 for 60 pills.

My dog is big (70 pounds), so the dosage and cost may vary, and be less for smaller dogs. Once you have a prescription with refills, if the price is too high, you can go online to places like PetMeds, and perhaps get it for less money. I never used those sites, so no advice on which to use.
 
Thanks Sea, Amber Rain is 45 to 50 lbs. I Have good vets, so I'll ask for a prescription, and I'll check online. Sometimes you can get a break, sometimes not. Do you find that it provides good relief?:love_heart:
 
Yes, it's an anti-inflammatory, so that helps with the pain. The only bad thing is it's hard on the liver, so I don't give the full amount prescribed. Another option is a pain killer that is better in regard to the liver. It's called Tramadol (50mg), we were given some for his back when he had a disc problem, but it can be used for arthritis pain. That was much less expensive, only $2.50 for 20 pills.
 
Today headed to eye doc for follow up on the cateract surgery,everything looks good.Have several other docs appointments this week.
