The vet gave me anti-nausea pills and recommended I give him the anti-inflammatory meds, but not the pain pills. This seems to have done the trick.

A friend that fosters cats had a similar situation. It was an older cat. His human had special time with him when he got off work at midnight. The poor fellow in foster care would cry and pace at midnight. He was confused and missing his midnight routine with his human. They get old and just don't understand what happened to them. Thank you for giving these dogs your love and care,Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844967694320578693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-15077946266664413652014-05-15T18:33:55.549-04:002014-05-15T18:33:55.549-04:00My sister suffers from dementia and has had many c...My sister suffers from dementia and has had many changes medically and living circumstances. Any change sends her into a fit of panic. I was told that Alzheimer residents need to have the same routine and any changes make it very difficult to adapt. It is possible that Crickett just needs time to adapt to her new home. I have also heard of sundowning and that it is common with nursing home residents. Bless her little heart. She needs the direction that you are giving her to fill secure.<br />I was thinking Shadow was relatively young. Maybe he is just adjusting to the warmer weather? We also had an older golden that started the panting as she aged. We also supplied her with endless bowls of crushed ice!<br />Thinking about both of your sweet babies. I will be waiting to hear what the vet says.<br />Gus' Momsophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235597043756467342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-8683792903418103452014-05-15T18:01:12.342-04:002014-05-15T18:01:12.342-04:00Glad Cricket is settling in, even if confused at t...Glad Cricket is settling in, even if confused at times.<br /><br />Healing vibes coming your way for Shadow.
