Been keeping an eye on Peanutbutter these last few days as she has been getting very quiet. She seemed pretty lethargic last night but with her hind end failing and her age and no apparent emergency I opted not to take her to the vet today. When I got home from work I checked on her and she is in her cube with one of her neutered men, gave everyone treats specifically to see if she could hold her treat with both paws, nope. Also noticed she has a lot of porphyrin coming from her nose, she has been on metacam the last two days, very low dose, in case her arthritis was acting up but I am switching her to pred tonight to see if we can get some of the inflammation to go down. I thought about taking her in to the vet but I know my vet will tell me to start her on pred and see, so I will be calling the vet tonight for a conversation about it. Last dose of metacam was given last night in the pm so the pred will be coming to her soon. She may be doing the push back thing to, with her front feet, was watching her groom and she was doing that in between nose wipes.
Now I need to go do some math and weigh her and get the right dosage, need to find my calculator. I'm really hoping the pred will at least help for a few days since we're just noticing stuff and maybe caught it early.
