Previcox

I picked up some Previcox from Uplands Way today for the pain coming from his leg. I love the way all my vets just work together! The oncologist said he needed pain relief, but to check with my holistic vet re compatibility with supplements (he was referring to CV247 which includes aspirin). So I checked with Birgit, she said to use Previcox (and not give the aspirin part of CV247 at the same time), and my primary vet (Rachel) prescribed it without any fuss at all. How great is that, no one is being awkward and everyone is just having Dylan's best interest at heart.

So Dylan is now on Previcox (and I also give him Slippery Elm to hopefully prevent any digestive problems), and Birgit has also given me additional homeopathic tablets for pain relief. Further she has also given me some vials to inject. It is called Zeel. I will take these to Rachel and see whether she will inject them for me. Although I used to inject rabbits (and birds) regularly, I have never injected my dogs and don't feel hugely comfortable doing that. So I do hope that Rachel will be ok doing it for me. I shall give her a call tomorrow.

Hopefully from tomorrow, Dylan will feel better on his hind leg and I can start taking him for walks again. I think he does miss them. (He hasn't been walked since last Thursday when I noticed that he was lame).

And I also realised that half of Europe is working for Dylan: Swiss owner, British primary vet, Italian oncologist and German holistic vet. LOL
