Wow, life is kind of crazy here in neurology land. My dog that I talked about last week that had to have a second surgery did go home Saturday morning. He still was unable to feel pain in his back feet and was unable to walk but he was able to feel when we pinched along his back just a little further back than earlier which was a small glimmer of hope. I did receive word today that the owner emailed the neurology technician and said that he had peed on his own and had even wagged his tail so that is great news!
Over the weekend we had two in-house patients in the ICU that we had to take care of every morning. And man was it fun! They both screamed very loudly every time you touched them and one of them tried to bite you. Fortunately, the loudest screamer went home today and the screamer/biter is being a little bit better behaved and it's a good thing too; he is staying with us all week for physical therapy.
Later on this afternoon I became responsible for a one year old Italian Greyhound who presented to the ER Saturday for tremors. He is shaking all over and it almost never stops. I feel bad for the poor guy. Tomorrow he will have an MRI and a spinal tap to pull some spinal fluid out so we can try to figure out what is going on with him and get him feeling better.
Sunday I spent the day (after dealing with ridiculous screaming dogs) in Congerville with Uncle Loren and Aunt Joan. It was a nice break from thinking about school and neurology after the crazy week we had.
