: Tealk's progress report
: K9ldy00 May 27, 2006, 08:24:08 AM
He went in for his hip surgery recheck. They said his hip is healing nicely. We told them he is still limping on his front leg ( The one he broke last winter slipping on the snowy stairs). They xrayed it and said he is already developing arthritis in it. :-\  So a months worth of Adequan was prescribed, it is an I.M. injectable that I have to give him every 3 or 4 days. A 30 day supply of Firocoxib was also prescribed. For those 2 prescriptions it was $185.00 :o :o :o  I wonder if I can find these drugs anywhere else for cheaper. He is also on  Cosequen. I did find those on E bay for a lot cheaper than at the vet. Tealk's attitude is good he doesn't seem to mind limping although it hurts me. Please send healing vibes to my baby, as I cannot afford to pay 185.00 every month for more prescriptions.

Poor Tealk!  That is just awful!  He is way too young for all this, he should be romping all around like a little puppy psycho.
