Horrible day today. High numbers despite not having any lows last night to bounce from. It seems the no ondan trial was a big failure. Yesterday morning and PM I gave only a tiny sliver of ondan and he seemed to eat about his usual but his morning he refused to eat anything for the first few offers. After giving ondan he slowly worked his way up to about half of what he usually eats. I was hopeful because without the ondansetron, he seems so much brighter and more playful. I'll continue giving ondan and hopefully tonight will be more normal. It so weird how playful and in good spirits he is despite not wanting to eat.
I'll call the vet tomorrow and see what to do. Maybe adding in the gaba on top of everything else. I feel a bit of decision paralysis given all of the drug options and not knowing what he's even feeling (increase ondan/try cerenia insteaad/add in gaba for pain/different combinations of each option).
I'm so exhausted with making all of these medical decisions daily, and my family is understandably exhausted with my anxiety and Xander being the center of my focus. I already have so much to do with work, school, and Xander but it looks like i'll need to push myself to seek out a therapist to help cope better.
