Annie was feeling badly. Her tummy was upset and it was hard for her to move around. She couldn’t jump up on the couch or go up or down the motorhome stairs. We took her to the Vet. They administered lots of tests, but didn’t find any specific cause. They prescribed medicine to calm her stomach and that helped. It took a couple weeks but she is moving and feeling better now.
The cardiologist ruled out Judy’s heart as the source of her discomfort without giving us any alternatives to pursue, so we just went home to see if she got better, worse, or stayed the same. We’re about a week later and she feels better; not completely better, but better, so we’ll continue the wait-and-see approach.
Funny thing. She’s in the hospital because she’s feeling dizzy, lightheaded, fatigue, and tightness in the chest. In the midst of all their testing, they determined her LDL Cholesterol is too high so they gave her a prescription for Crestor. Want to guess the commonly reported side-effects of Crestor? That’s right; dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, and tightness in the chest. If she got better, how would we know?
Judy feels well enough that we shifted attention to her left knee. It has been sore lately. We thought she might have to get her meniscus scoped again. We got her to the Ortho, and he decided she doesn’t need knee surgery. She has a little arthritis under her kneecap that is causing the soreness. We’ll treat it with regular doses of Aleve and some physical therapy type exercise.
