krissn333 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 We just came in from outside and Pinky settled herself on her own and seems more comfortable than she's been in days In the middle of the night, she got up and resettled herself, but she didn't look very comfortable IMO. I've been helping her lay down for the most part, so I can position her legs so theyre elevated and also so I can take her temperature easily. But I know that laying the same way all the time can be uncomfortable, so she needs to lay around in different positions. She let out a big sigh once she got herself settled Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13.

krissn333 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 My little sassy pants has decided she will take her meals while standing in her closet bed only. It makes sense, it's hard for her to get on the couch with the edema in her legs right now. They just had a turnout and came in for dinner...she dashed to the bedroom and stood at her bed and as I came I to the room carrying her bowl, I saw that she was watching for me and licking her lips impatiently Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13.

krissn333 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Rough evening...her right leg swelled pretty good. I brought her up into bed with me for a while though and we got it worked down to where it was before. While she was up here, Ace scooted over and put her head on Pinky's back. For a while, Pinky relaxed and slept, but she got too warm being up here after a while, so I had to let her go back to her bed. I did catch a pic of the cuteness though...for those of you that don't know Ace...she's grumpy about space with the other pups. She will sleep ON me, but the other dogs being near her while sleeping (without her grumbling about it) is a very rare occasion. For her to initiate the contact just tells you how much she loves her sister and how worried she is about her Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13.

Charlies_Dad Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 I do believe they know when something is wrong with another in the pack. Jack did similar things to Charlie after we found out he had a tumour near his heart. That is a very cute pic. Good thoughts for Pinky. I hope you can keep her comfortable.

krissn333 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 We're having a good day Pinky has been getting up easily on her own and she's been very mobile today. The edema is subsiding, albeit slowly. But, it's progress and I'll take it I do think that her back is sore, just below her shoulders. So we'll see if our acupuncturist can get us in for a visit. She ate her breakfast without me holding her bowl, and she's FINALLY resting heavily. When she was still feverish, she'd lay there with her eyes open for a long time, like a zombie. It scared the heck out of me even though I've seen it before. Her breathing rate is much slower now, even though it wasn't what I would consider fast before...just not as slow as it usually is. So, I can tell that she's resting really well. It's so nice to look over at her and see her calmly snoozing away Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13.

NeylasMom Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think the pred is causing her to lose weight...in spite of the fact that she's eating well, she is suddenly looking really skeletal... That could be from the cancer itself. Google Cachexia to maybe get some ideas for diet changes. Haven't been posting much, but have been following your updates and rooting for Pinky.

giadog Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Gia went in for her x-ray checkup today. They found a 2 cm spot on her lungs. We're going to switch back to IV chemo, a different drug. I don't remember the name of it. She was doing so well, I thought she'd be the one to defy the odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
