Merv had his 2nd chemo yesterday (vinblastine). His White Blood Cell Count WBC was 2.8 so good to go. It was 16 days since his first due to low WBC. He had no side effects last time other than tiredness (and low WBC) so fingers crossed it will be similar this time. He is on steroids also along with antacid, antihistamine and they are leaving him on antibiotic for next 7 days to see if this helps with low WBC. He was in great energetic spirits the last few days so its hard to see him so tired after yesterday and the idea that there are 10 more of these to go is not encouraging but we promised ourselves we will take our cue from Mervyn and if we feel it is something he is not ok with we will stop. We have to be mindful that we are trying to do away with his cancer cells and balance that with his quality of life. Extra time is not as beautiful if Mervyn is not the happiest little dog.
You are such a good advocate for your Mervyn! You are so tuned into who he is and what it takes for Mervyn to be happy dog Mervyn😁
Thankyou he’s a great dog 😉
Have to keel,ppst short cuz ot computer issues. Yes, it’s all about quality. Maybe the Onco can adjust dose or the time spaced out inbetween?
