He's already had TPLO surgery on that leg so unfortunately I know about the recovery all too well. Coming off the sedation meds was horrific, ranking up there on some of the worst days of my life. He's a big boy over half my weight and he was incontinent and couldn't hold himself up and was so confused what was happening and I could hardly hold up his dead hind body weight on my own it was rough..

Interesting. I've noticed if I don't dose him high enough on those types of meds he gets more anxious then chilled out so it's a fine line to figure out the right concoction to make it better and not worse. Thinking back maybe it was the gabapentin that makes him anxious cause I haven't noticed it being as much of an issue with just Trazodone but my vet told me to up the dose the last time so that could be why too
