greysmom Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I just got another update this morning. Dr. Koshko said that she's showing a little spunk today. She's now eating. The edema is decreasing, having peaked yesterday. There's still a little oozing but he said that's to be expected. They've taken her outside using a sling and she seems to be doing well. I should have no problem bringing her home Sat. They are going to let me borrow a sling for a few weeks. I'll bring it back when I have her first chemo. I will be taking her all the way out there for the chemo, because when I had my local vets do it for Dima, I think they did the first one incorrectly. I lost Dima to kidney disease and OS in a hind leg. I think the kidney disease was caused by the first chemo. So, I'll go out to Metzgers for it, as they have done it many times on greys. You may want to try and have her pre-chemo bloodwork done close to home if it's a long trek. It would be a bummer to drive for a long ways only to get there and find her wbc is too low to do chemo that day. So glad she's doing well!

My local vets will do that for me. I'll do it the day before, and fax the info to Metzgers. 3 1/2 hr one way is a long trip for nothing.

MP_the4pack Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Another update this morning. Dr. Koshko is very pleased with her progress. She actually had a little bit of tail wag. She can get up off the floor by herself. She's eating well. The swelling is steadily decreasing. He said she's acting more like a greyhound again and is ready to come home tomorrow. She'll be coming with antibiotics and pain meds. Which I expected. I was through this before in 2009 with Diamond. So I don't understand why I'm more upset this time around.

XTRAWLD Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) I was through this before in 2009 with Diamond. So I don't understand why I'm more upset this time around. Because no one (man or beast) should have to go through this all over again. Also, don't doubt yourself. By the sounds of it, everything is going as best as reasonably expected. Thank you for the update. I'm sure you'll be happy to have her home again soon.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
