greytdecals Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) UPDATE 2-9 Some of you have been asking about Maggie-Mae...thank you for that! Well, I am happy to report that she is doing wonderful! She has had 4 chemo treatments and needs 2 more to complete her treatments. She gets sick for only about a day after her chemo. She has been on meds for her tummy and that helps out a lot. She eats well, except for the day after her chemo. Her activity level is high and her attitude is greyt! Her WBC has been low but not enough to cease the chemo treatments. I must admit...I did not think she would make it to the end of the year last year, she was very bad but she fought and pulled through...fighting infection and not wanting to eat and being horribly depressed to the point that she would not get up from her bed. We didn't give up on her as I saw it in her eyes that she was fighting. I am glad we didn't because she turned a corner in January and has been wonderful ever since! Thank you so much for all of your prayers and thoughts for our Maggie-Mae! We love her so much! On Saturday evening she did her first meet-n-greet since her diagnosis and she did so well She will soon be returning to work as a Therapy Dog too! It has been a rough start for poor Maggie-Mae. Her amputation surgery went well except that she had a lot of bleeding and blood pooled in her belly, foot and stomach. That has been almost all absorbed into her body. Then she lost her appetite after her surgery and before she even started chemo. It has been a struggle getting her to eat. She has lost so much weight and looks terrible. We took her for her first chemo treatment Tuesday and Dr. Couto didn't even think they could do the chemo because they found a pocket of fluid near the incision area. They drained it and found it to be inflammation, however, he was not sure if it was due to infection. So, they ran some more blood work and found everything to look good so they decided to move forward with the chemo because they did not want to delay it any longer. She will be on antibiotics for 10 days and we have to clean and flush the incision everyday for 10 days along with daily bandage changes. Miss Maggie-Mae has been so depressed. I know we did the right thing for her but I can't help but question myself when I see her this way I want her to be happy and be my "boogity" girl again. Please keep my girlie in your thoughts and prayers Edited February 9, 2009 by greytdecals Quote Suzie Collins Owner/Artist Skinny Hound Designs Greyhound decals, magnets and signs.

RobinM Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) I am so sorry things have gone rough for your sweet girl. Even w/o complications, it's not easy. We all wondered what the he77 we did at one time or another. But one day soon, she will feel better life will get back to some sort of order. I hope she starts eating soon. Polli is not a greyt eater and after the surgery and chemo it was a lot worse. She only likes 3 things to begin with. I find she likes crunchy carbs after chemo. Granola bars, crackers etc. Prayers and good thoughts for your girl.

We hope she starts eating soon and comes back around quickly to being your boogity girl. It always takes time, as you know all too well.
