Thinking of you both. I'm so sorry it's come to this.
Kind of late to the game but.....
First, did you read what I sent? Do that, please, the section "Side Effects".
I have posted to others about the "30 day" expiry being utter BS.
That's based on 1. my own "hands-on use and observations......and 2. Minimalist understanding of the chemistry of that chemical: first, it's "inactive"; second, in the sealed tube, it's protected from both light and air, the only 'external' agents that would otherwise affect it.
Have you cleaned off the second ear ?
.
Me too cmshap ..... My heart is with you and with lil Willie-Again, cmshap My soul is with you today...((Hugs)) I seriously hope you will have someone with you, when see the Vet... I was fortunate that I did.. (((HUGS)))))
Maybe Willy isn't ready,you ca n cancel as many times as you like- do what's in your heart to doUpdate: 18 days post-chemo (4th dose)...
I am very confused right now...
First of all, I booked an appointment at 4pm for an exam and euthanasia at my vet. I am glad it is not until the end of the day, because some strange things have happened overnight.
I've been sleeping on the couch to be near him, because he sleeps on the living room chair at night. One thing that was different last night was on about 3 occasions, he came over to me, kneaded and purred and slept a little on my chest, then went back to the chair. He hasn't done that at all for at least the past several nights.
This morning, he seems more active. He's walking around investigating things, meowing at me, etc. He did have a little bit of paper-shredding and window-gazing time yesterday, but that was very short-lived. I'll have to see how long the increased energy continues this morning.
But the strangest thing is that his tumors look a little smaller than they were yesterday. And he's not shaking his head all the time, as he had been for the past several days (he had been shaking his head like every 10 seconds yesterday). He is still scratching occasionally.
I felt the tumors and he allowed me to do so without recoiling, for the most part (his ear is still sensitive).
He has been on zero prednisolone for at least 4 days.
I had firmly resolved that today was going to be the day. But as of this morning, I am not so sure. I am going to watch him all day and see what happens. Also talk to oncology. If he has a better day, and doesn't seem to be in pain, I am at least going to wait and see what tomorrow looks like, first.
I will post another update later today.
See these pictures I took this morning, and compare them to the ones I took yesterday.
There are some terrific people a person sometimes has the opportunity, sad or otherwise, to find.at the end he dedicated it to Willy.
