The vet is doing 2 visits today, tomorrow and Thursday (working at home Weds) to assist with his CC feed/meds as I'm back at work.
Good idea, I think that would be good for him, would a low dose of metacam be good as well? Just to make sure, if it's still painful for him in any way, there might be a time of day when a small dose can hopefully assist him to eat and continue to get the ignition going in his gut.
Is there any risk to Siddi's health by prolonging these meds? Damage to Kidneys or Liver etc?
The vet said we have two options at this stage prior to your point about continuing his meds for a bit, it's just to carry on when his course is meant to expire or if he has a bad couple of days to refer him to a specialist (Royal Vet College in Potters Bar is only 15 miles away). That is an absolute last resort / backup but just in case, however I will ask the vet about extra days of M + Z & possibly Metacam.
Not that this should matter but we got in a very disputed insurance claim for him, in the end I have ended up paying for it all. As I've got savings from being at home, I will throw the kitchen sink at making sure my little fella gets the best quality of life as is possible at this point, his breed can live 12 years. In my mind, I want to make sure he gets those years!!
My point is, we will not give up on him. He's such good progress now and we have our fingers crossed & praying it continues.
