No Meds Means Not Good

I've had a stiff neck and a pulled back this past week, so my sleeping is bad.  I woke up yesterday (Saturday) after 2 hours of sleep to feed the 2 monsters (Dock and Mace) Because of my shortened sleep, I was hoping I would go back to bed without a problem, so I figured I would forgo Dock's meds then and give them to her later in the morning.  Well, I felt horrible, and wasn't able to get down on the floor too well to give them to her. My Hubby would not be able to either, as he has never had the experience of shoving a pill down her gullet, and squirting in 2 oral liquids.  That being said, Dock did have an off day.  She was a bit dazed, and a bit weak.  She feel off the couch during an intense petting session where it appeared she forgot where edge was.  She also was not able to jump as easily and fell off the first shelf of a book self which she uses routinely.  No seizures noted, but I could tell she didn't feel right and was sore.

So this morning, I gave her everything (thanks to some prescribed medication for myself, my back is much better).  Opened the door to where she eats about 40 minutes later, only to find she had vomited up her breakfast.  No knowing how much of her meds she had actually absorbed,  I went back to bed, deciding I would think about it when I got back up.  Dock then proceeded upstairs with me back to bed, and laid down on my pillow for the 2 hours I was back asleep.  She then left the pillow to go sit on my dresser, of which she never went.  Now she is just puttering around me as I type, looking for those important pets.  I know we have alot of play room with her pred and gabapentin, so I think I will give her another dose of each today.  I hope she feels better
