"I'm ready to have my Tramadol, Metacam, bum washed and dried, eyes bathed and some yummy syringe food. And when you've done all that, can you change all my blankets and rugs as I've weed on them again.....sorry, I just can't hold it in anymore!"
Daisy's spondylosis has got much worse over the last few weeks. Her Tramadol dose has been increased to make sure we are covering any discomfort and we can up it to 3 times a day, instead of twice, if needed. She needs lots of help to keep her bum clean and dry. She's incontinent, so wees everywhere, including on me when I pick her up! Blankets and rugs have to be changed twice a day, the washing machine is on more for Daisy than it is for us. I'm also topping her food intake up with syringe feeds to try and get her weight back up a bit. Her mobility is really deteriorating, but she still manages a very wobbly run for the food.
For now she is happy and comfortable and we're doing everything we can for her, but we are at the stage where we just have to take it one day at a time.
