Holly’s appetite’s been off since her 3rd round of chemo, but not as bad as after the 2nd round. She had her follow up bloodwork done yesterday and today her results came back – wbc was 2800. The vet said that’s a dip, but not terrible. She wouldn’t eat breakfast today and threw up this morning… but is now eating dinner which is a good sign. The vet put her back on the metoclopramide (anti-nausea), so that might be helping. I’m struggling with whether to continue chemo… I hate seeing her uncomfortable for so long after it. Our vet feels that she’s doing well enough that we should continue. I think we’ll do round number 4 and see how she does with that.
Her energy has remained pretty strong, except for Saturday when we all wanted to nap. But you’d never know her tummy was bothering her if you were to see her – she’s still getting excited by life, her tail is still up, she’s still giving lots of kisses. So the outward signs continue to look awesome! We’ll celebrate that life is good today – and it’s a sunny day at that!
I think we’ll take a nice walk after dinner… her favorite thing to do! 🙂 As Bob always says, we must feed her spirit!
