Loving my Oldies Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Fingers crossed that this does the trick. Cortisone is magic, despite some minimal side affects. How about a photo? :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Sorry to hear there wasn't a different easy to fix cause. Hope those drugs help. My chi x does that with her food too but she takes a mouthful a metre or so then eats them one by one. And at a riding school I worked at the resident dog would come on an hrs ride holding up one back leg. I was concerned but also realised the dog was swapping legs. Doing one then the other. Strange quirks. I love my chi, hope yours feels better soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Be interested too see how he goes. We had a Stafford on cortisone for 5 years continuously for 5 years and periodically prior. He lived until he was 15 and died from something unrelated. Some dogs do have issues with it, others do cope okay. I hope he copes well and improves quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurrajongmum Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hello Everyone Sorry for the delay on updating, we've been away ! Happy to report our boy is much improved. He started on the cortisone 5mg tablet once per night before meals for 1 week then down to 1/2 a tablet every night since . We've notice a big difference in that he barely shakes his head just the occasional after getting up from bed but I think that's a normal dog thing ! He gets his tablet off my finger in a little peanut butter before dinner haha thinks he's getting a treat ! Dame Danny's Darling I will attempt to put a pic up on my profile soon Thanks again everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
