We're home from the vet. Still no diagnosis, but vet doesn't think he looks bad enough to run the expensive tests yet. So, he's on 2 antibiotics now.

Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Does he seem to be improving on the antis, vw? Poor sweet Toto. I hope he feels better soon.
{{Toto}} Feel better, sweet doggie.
Cass, I don't think so, which is why I took him back today. But, we're trying him on a stronger one to see what happens.
Poor Toto. I hope he's better soon.
Feel better, Toto.
Pete & I stayed "next door" at the Barbary Coast.
Ooh, is it a pirate hotel? Cause I could be down with that.

And now, an OTC meds question. I took two 200mg ibuprophen about an hour and a half ago. So far, they haven't even taken the edge off the cramps. Is it okay for me to take two more?

No. It was a vaguely Victorian (but not really) hotel. However, it is home to Michael's, where Pete & I had one of the best meals of our lives.

Absolutely, Jilli. I took four 200 mg every eight hours at the height of my back spasm hell. If you ever take four at once, it's smart to take them with food, though.

Theoretically yes (says the NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL), just remember the Rule of Two for ibuprofen - Wait two hours for each 200mgs you take - Two hours for 200mg, four hours for 400mg, six hours for 600mg.
Basically if you take another 400mg, you shouldn't have any more for another six hours (roughly the difference between the doseage sets).
