crazygang Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 She's doing sooo much better! She's able to get up on her own every time now. She stood up to eat dinner tonight, which she hasn't done in a week. Plus her appetite is back with a vengeance. She seems so much more like herself again. Every day is definitely a gift. That's made my day now May you have many many special days together Quote Run free our beloved Sir Snowy, Pip, Queenie, Sadie, Tess & Rosie until we meet again......I would rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest monica Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Here is the Animal Medical Center, a research hospital http://www.amcny.org/default.aspx I don't know if you can reach them online or call for help at the numbers given, but they research and come up with new treatments all the time. There is research ongoing for osteosarcoma because of the resistance to treatment that is quite common after awhile. I would give it a try because they give advise to vets Meanwhile, I am praying for healing for your baby who is enjoying all of your attention and care.

Tracey Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Each day since Thursday Cosmo's been doing better than the day before. She can get up on her own and get up the stairs if we can't catch her first. She laid down and caught some sun in the yard on Sunday which she hadn't done in a while, I suppose because she knew if she did she wouldn't be able to get back up. The only thing that's really been missing is she's seemed somewhat mopey and I suppose I can't blame her for that. If I was reduced to either laying in bed or going to the doctor all the time I'd be mopey too. The vet said keeping her moving was good for her and we had some beautiful cool weather tonight so even though it was about 11:30 pm when we set out we decided to drive to the beach and take her for a short walk on the boardwalk. We really expected it to be very brief in fact, but thought she might enjoy the outing all the same. We just figured we'd let her lead the way and when she'd had enough she'd let us know. So we walked and walked and walked some more and frankly it was hard to keep pace with Cosmo, she was going so fast. After about a half mile or so we thought we had better turn around and shortly after we did Cosmo came to a stop, which she does from time to time when she gets tired. So we thought we had made the right call to turn back even though Cosmo had wanted to keep going. We'd walk a bit further and then she'd stop again so we thought she must be really tired. Then Jason said "let me try something" and he turned around, in the direction Cosmo had wanted to keep going and suddenly Cosmo was off at a jolly clip again. Turned out what we thought was fatigue was really just reluctance to head back to the car. We finally got her buy in when we told her we could just keep on going once we got to the car if that's what she wanted to do. And it was. All told I'd say Cosmo walked us about a mile, mile and a quarter or so. Now she's resting gently on her bed again, having polished off a cup of pudding with her night time meds mixed in it. And I can't be for sure, but I think I see a little smile on her face. And you should see the gigantic smile on mine.
