You haven't truly lived until you see cinder blocks and bricks swirling in the air. Scary stuff.

(27,773 posts)The gabapentin is helping a lot. She's not howling as much. I still have to hand feed her and hold her when she drinks. I don't think that's going to improve. Unfortunately.
Thanks so much for asking. ❤️
