Jack is doing great......

Jack has been doing great!! He has a wonderful appetite, good energy and no other problems. He had his last dose of carboplatin on Thursday. In two weeks he will be done with chemo, yeah!! So far no recurrence can be seen of the disease and we hope he stays that way!!

Well I haven't updated for a while, been quite busy with soccer and work! Everything is going great with Jack. He has had two more doses of chemo, the last one yesterday. This is the one that can really bring his counts low so we'll keep a close watch on him! We did discover that when he goes to the vet he raises his temp almost 2 degrees!! His appetite is doing great and he has been full of energy and in a great mood. All tests/exams look good and his x-rays show no new disease, its been almost 4 months since we discovered the cancer in his nail. We thought yesterdays treatment was the last one but his doctor wants to do two more treatments. She said he has been handling it so well that this would be best. I'm getting a second opinion just to make sure. It is getting a bit costly to say the least! We did discover that he doesn't like the new Orijen fish blend that I put him on. So we are trying the regular one and also have him on Taste of the Wild. For awhile he was very picky and would only eat if it was something new each feeding. He has seemed to have gotten over that, for now! :-) I've stopped with the homemade wet food, and have instead been using good grade wet food as he didn't like the homemade food anymore. So for now all is going great, he is a happy guy :-).
