You just learned something new about vet boards. I didn't make up what I said. The investigator told me what I reported here. They have done it for years. The one my vet recommends also had a problem with the board. He didn't give the client sufficient information for them to make a decision on a hi...

Traci,

I can't find this post where you said I said this. I found a lot of others but not this.
Can you tell me how to find it?

(She had xrays in 2003 and last year, cortisone shot, pred. but we need to find something that will work. Would surgery to remove some bone be too drastic?)

Thanks,
Lynda

Traci, I got referrals from a vet service for 3 orthop surgeons. I called the vet board to check on them. One killed a cat regarding a tumor and the other has had 2 complaints. Turns out she is just a surgeon. I don't know if that qualifies her as a ortho surgeon but I wouldn't think so. The third o...

Ask the new vet about Cosequin for Cats, but before you use this, ask the new vet for new xrays and evaluation, because it may be something else altogether (very well could be since it isn't responding to what your vet has done). Please find a vet who is very experienced in orthopedic veterinary med...

Traci, Let me try to clear this up. The vet in 2003 is not who we have seen since 2004. That quack was horrible. She also treated her staff with acupucture. I made sure the vet board took care of her on that. Cutie is not receiving cortisone. One injection 4½ years ago is hardly overdoing. I am gett...

Traci, I appreciate all of your opinions. I have to figure it all out. Here is what the AAHA has to say about NSAIDS. Pain Management for Pets Decades ago in veterinary medicine, pain was thought to be good for an injured or sick animal. This wasn't because veterinarians were cruel or wanted pets to...

I DID NOT ALLOW my vet to treat with steroids. That is one suggestion he made.
He thinks NutraMax is the best Cosequin. You will probably disagree.
Money is not the problem. The problem is trusting surgeons whose main thing is surgery. I will consider seeing one.

Cutie's blood tests were fine. Her xrays are about the same. Vet showed me Cosequin capsules. Not all Cosequin is equal. I may try it. He didn't use it to start with because it does not help pain. He mentioned cortisone injection. My Mom and Grandmother used to get them for their knees. Metacam is u...

They are a couple of dolls!
Blik looks like he saw a ghost. What a cute expression.

Traci, I had the Metacam insert with the bottle I got from him. The original dose was 1 drop every 5 days. He did not start higher and lower it. That is what it always was. He did work at the Emergency Clinic before opening his own practice. The cardiologist there is who recommended him saying he wa...
