Holly had her first round of chemo today. So far it appears she tolerated it well. She received an injection of an anti-nausea drug (cerenia? Not sure of the spelling) prior to the chemo which may have helped. She stayed at the vet’s for a few hours so they could monitor her and administer fluids. She was happy when I came to pick her up! She slept the rest of the afternoon while I worked – she seemed very mellow. But at dinner time she wolfed down her food, which hasn’t happened in days. We took a short walk tonight and now it’s just about her bedtime. Our vet recommended keeping her pretty quiet for the next few days until we see how she’s doing – so no long walks until we’re sure she’s tolerating this treatment. Car rides will have to satisfy my girl for now – they’re her other favorite thing to do.
On another front, she had her first bath post-surgery yesterday! She did really well with that (of course treats helped!), and now smells great and is as soft as a little puppy. I always call her my baby gund after a bath. 🙂 Time to go snuggle with the baby!
