It sounds like Darcy is starting to rally. I hope this sweetheart will be back at home with you soon and feeling much, much better. Everyone will be thinking of her and keeping their fingers crossed! :goodluck

Sorry - Thursday is my day for doing a Red Cross shift so I've only just got home.

 

Nothing of great significance to report - she's still got a bit of the big D but she's not been sick. She's still not eating by herself (although she's on a drip and she's being given some sloppy food by syringe). We're hoping to go in to see her today about 6.30pm but thats a little up in the air because we are having car issues and DH is waiting for the breakdown peeps at the local post office (where he broke down) :rolleyes:

We're back from todays visit, but Darcy is still at the vets.

 

She is picking up though and her diorrhea dihorheah dire-rear is becoming less so :)

 

She's still not eating.

 

We had a good chat with the vet and have decided that this will be the last chemo. We'll not go ahead with an 'extra' dose (or two), just in case it provokes some wierd reaction because we certainly don't want her to go through this again. If we were part way through a course then maybe we'd take the risk (obviously not with this particular drug again, but with another) but as we are at the end of a traditional course of treatment, we'll take our chances and run.

 

I asked him (the vet) how long he thinks it will take Darcy from now, to recouperate fully from this and he said about 10 days. But all being well, she should be able to come home tomorrow (insert tentative grin). Her heart rate was about 200 bpm when she was admitted (:eek) and is now down to about 70-80 which is normal for her. He's going to check her white blood count in the morning and check that it's still OK.

 

So, eyes, ears, legs and fingers crossed that by this time tomorrow, Darcy should be home...

Sounds like a plan! Maybe having The Herd around her, and totally willing to eat what she doesn't want to eat, will stimulate those competitive juices.

 

Gentle hugs, sweetie.

Sending my prayers and the most gentle hugs. Angel Lacey did not get sick from the Doxy until 10 days after and then she stopped eating anything. I know how hard this is...know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. :grouphug

Darcy is finally home :D

 

She's laying on a settee (having totally ignored the big, squishy, nice clean bed I prepared for her) and is looking....erm...glum :unsure But at least she's home :D

 

She ate half a tin of food at the vets today, all by herself so I'm going to see if she will eat some chicken breast fillets shortly. I am not holding my breath :rolleyes:

 

She has to go back to see the vet on Wednesday.
