We dropped.Ferdinand off at the vet this morning for observation. They are going to monitor and administer his meds for the day and call if there are any changes. We hope the little guy is going to be okay, but we are kind of in limbo. Things could go either way at this point. Say a prayer for Ferdinand. We just want his pain to stop.

A rough couple of days
Today has been really tough for me and my family. I started hurting a couple of days ago so Mom and Dad gave me some medicine to take away the pain called Tramadol. The medicine worked pretty well and they only gave it to me when I started to hurt really bad. Sometime last night I woke up in a LOT of pain. I cried and cried to let Mommy and Daddy know. They tried to make me feel better and gave me some more of the Tramadol, but it didn't work this time. I was still hurting really bad.
We all got in the car and headed down to the VCA Veterinary Specialty Center of Seattle, in Lynnwood. Mom called ahead to let them know we were coming. They were able to see me right away and check me out. The technician took me in back to help me go potty and take a sample of my urine. I didn't like it, but I was a very good boy. Then the doctor came in and took a look at me. She could tell right away that I was hurting a lot, so she didn't poke and prod me. She just asked Mom and Dad a lot of questions. She said that Dr. Kline happened to be there this morning and would be able to see me and do an exam, but it might be a little while. The technician came back in and took me into the back for some blood tests and a little nap. She told Mom and Dad to go get some lunch and she would call after Dr. Kline was able to do the examination.
After they finished lunch, Mom and Dad came back to wait some more. Dr. Kline is a wonderful doctor so she is a very busy lady. A little bit later the other doctor came back and told Mom and Dad that I was doing alright and resting. Dr. Kline wants me to go on some new medicine and see if it makes me better. Nobody is quite sure what is causing my pain, though. It could be from my meningoencephalitis or it could be from the slipped disc in my neck. The only two ways to find out for sure is by giving me an MRI or doing surgery. Mommy and Daddy, as well as my doctors, worry that I might have a hard time with the anesthesia so they want to avoid those two things if they can. We are all hoping that this new medicine will help me feel better soon so we can all get a good night's sleep.
Speaking of sleep, it's time for me to take another nap. Thanks for checking in to see how I'm doing, and have a great night!
