Buzzupdate

Well, I was holding off on the update, assuming that I'd be able to give a 100% good review.

He had ultrasound two weeks ago tomorrow, "just looking" -- dogs who have cancer are pretty likely to develop another, unrelated cancer...... That was clear. Whew.

But he hasn't felt right since. I asked if he had had any sedation, and was told he did not................

He had adriamycin the day after the ultrasound. He had an ekg that day, to see if the adria is doing an "unacceptable level" of damage to his heart. No problems seen there, either.

But he drooped. And he wasn't interested in his dinner (very un-corgi and very un-Buzz).

As last week went on, he was better, and by Friday, I thought we were over the hump.

But he didn't get any better over the weekend, and after eating his breakfast milkbone yesterday, today he walked out into the family room, put it down, and walked away.

Sigh.

I took him in for a bloodcount last Monday, and it was low but not scary, considering the chemo. I learned on Tuesday that he got more of the adria last week than he got the previous times. That would explain why he felt worse last week than the last time, but I'm not sure it explains why he still feels sub-par this week......

I took him in for another bloodcount this morning, but haven't heard the results yet.

For feeling bad, he doesn't feel that bad. But for feeling good, he doesn't feel that good, either.

It's hot. He doesn't like the heat, and we don't have a/c.

But that has never stopped him from eating........................ I should say -- he's eager to eat anything other than what he usually gets. He snarked up a milkbone at the vet......... I am not worried that he won't eat *anything* -- which is common for cancer dogs. It's just Not Right that he won't eat *everything* he is offered.

Sigh.
