Guest TriciasZoo Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Thanks everyone. I spoke with Dr. Couto today, and I believe I will take a conservative approach, but yet more than just Pred. We just have to figure out which drugs based on the biopsy and what he and Dr. Blackburn decide is best. He'll only be on oral meds at home to give us a little extra time AND keep him comfortable. If I find that it is NOT helping or is making things worse, then we will withdraw from that. I'm hoping the Pred itself won't be too hard on him, so we can at least get the size of the nodes down and make his neck more comfortable. So far the nodes aren't too large to inhibit his eating and breathing. He continues to run, play, eat, poop, pee, etc. normally. I have a feeling he's becoming a bit lethargic, but it's hard to tell. He also doesn't seem quite as patient with the ferrets. They're never loose together. The ferrets, if out, are in their ex-pen, so they're seperated, but I watched him sit there and growl at two of them earlier. It's almost like he's aged in the past couple of weeks. Everyone comments on how white his face is for only four, maybe he's trying to catch up with his looks. I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighsayer Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Glad you are working out your treatment plan. Glad that he isn't acting sick. He doesn't know that he's sick so don't tell him. Hugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreytHurleyDawg Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Just reading this now......so sad to hear since Peatie was one of the first dogs I fell in love with on GT. I know Peatie will go through this as painlessly as is possible because of your wise decision-making! Just make sure you do the same for yourself! Not that I have any experience in that but it sure does sound smart. Woodie just turned 5 this month and Hurley is still 4 so I feel your pain. Woodie developed a limp earlier this month and I bawled my eyes out just because I thought if I didn't, I would be taken by surprise if he developed something "C" wordish. His limp is gone but the same leg still "falls asleep" more often than usual...I am keeping an eye on it and will get some chondroitin to go with his glucosamine since I thought I had both but realized I didn't. Sorry to ramble. Have a good day today, Peatie and Trish!!!

Guest TriciasZoo Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 D#)(*% it guys, every time I check in here, read my messages from CoG, etc. the tears just burst out. Not trickle, but explode. There is a hole in the gut that just aches and aches. Nothing soothes it. The biopsy was the final confirmation, and it's as suspected. Dr. B will be consulting with Dr. Couto. We'll treat him conservatively with oral meds only. Yes, Free and Gracie, he can use all the friends he can get right now. I feel so lost. I'm lashing out at DH because he's always out of town for work, and I know it's not his fault, but I need a husband right now, not a weekend visitor. I basically have no real human companionship during the week, besides work, and they just don't understand. *sigh* Sorry. I'm just not doing the best today.
