Some good news. Dock still has relatively good neurological functions. My vet was quite happy with how she has done, and feels she still has a good quality of life. The list I had used a few weeks ago, was revamped by the vets at my clinic to be a bit more owner friendly. She ended up at a higher number. Perhaps it is because Norris is settled in and has taken some of the pressure of Mace off of her.
So our new regime is increased amounts of meds, and all 3 of them twice a day. The pred will be reduced after 5 days as she is already on a really high dose. The tumor has likely grown, and is causing Dock some more pain, likely one hell of a migraine. So the increase in her pain meds may help that. If after the 5 days, she starts sleeping in odd spots again, we will live with that for the time being until her behavior changes to where none of us can handle it. Giving her meds now is an ordeal, as she truely gets very stressed out now. If that gets too difficult, or upsetting to her (and me) than we'll need to make a choice then.
For now, I will love my girl, and give her all the attention I can.
