Bevd Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Yesterday Darcy went to Pets At Home to help me pick Secret Santa pressies ( ). The anti sickness jab of the day before wore off during late afternoon but she went on to eat a good dinner (and licked the bowl, repeatedly) and so far, she doesn't seem to feel unwell. She's only had three quarters of her breakfast again today but we'll see if she eats well tonight. Maybe she's just going back to prefering to eat more in the evening than in the morning (this was the way before she became poorly). The other thing she did yesterday was jumping at Marc again when he came in....

Bevd Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 I don't know many dogs like Darcy. I hope I'm not tempting fate here but two days into her chemo treatment she's the bounciest, funniest and liveliest we've seen her in weeks. I've taken a long video clip of her performance a few minutes ago and Marc has now taken her out with Mokka for a walk (with the camera) so if you're following this, please check back later for some truly amaxing (to me) footage Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.

Guest grey_dreams Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Wow! Darcy looks amazing! I'm so glad the chemo treatment went so well! That's so lovely that she has to be the first one to greet Marc when he comes home. Give your girlie a kiss from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevd Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Sorry for the delay in updating Thankfully, there's not been anything very important to report (and you'll be delighted to hear that I am past the stage of reporting each time she has a wee or a drink) Darcy had her blood test on Friday as planned and we were chatting with the vet whilst we waited for the results and just before the results were due, an emergency arrived so we shuffled back to the waiting room to finish our wait. The upshot of it all though, was that the results came via a nurse and I didn't quite understand them because the report was that her white count was 6.3 (it started off at 6) and I'm sure it was going to go down...not up after the chemo But, the message via the nurse was that everything was OK and we would retest again this coming Friday. So because the general message was that it was OK, I didn't hang around to wait for the vet to finish with the emergency and I've not phoned but will ask for more info when we go again this Friday afternoon. Darcy herself has remained fine. She's eating well, not had any tummy upsets or anything and has had some good walks. She's had a couple of small episodes of yelping a bit and I really don't know why - maybe she's having a small amount of phantom pain or maybe she's just pulled a muscle from her new way of having to walk. In general though, she's remained well and we're happy with her. Here are a few pics from her walk on 18th Nov The obligatory sitting whist on a walk pics first And she was having a very windy hair day And here, she was very excited to see Mouse & Max's Mummy and she went rushing over to say hello, with Duffy And here - prepare yourselves. When she was tired, she leaned against Duffy, who stood there, patiently until she was ready to move again *clutches chest* Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.
