Cody's Personality Is Back

It's been 6 days since Cody's back surgery and I am happy to report Cody's personality is starting to shine through - Yay! Previously he was just too sedated from all his medications. Speaking of meds, I thought I'd list out what he was perscribed in case anyone going through a similiar journey wanted to compare.

Codys Medications

• Metronidazole (Flagyl) 250MG - 1/2 tablet every 12 hours - Used to reduce inflammation & help with diarrhea.
• Gabapentin - 100 MG - 1 Tablet every 12 hours - Used to treat chronic pain, particularly of neuropathic origin.
• Tramadol - 50 MG - 1/2 Tablet every 8 to 12 hours - Used for Pain

---------------

No signs of neurological improvement yet but when doing Cody's bicycle exercises, his back legs seem a little less limp and we also thought we saw his tail move - maybe it's just our 'wanting' so badly to see signs of improvement. Regardless we're hopeful, with IVDD healing takes time and patience.
