Effects

The morning after Chris and I gave Sheba her first chemo treatment her swollen glands had noticeably reduced, we wanted to wait a day before writing to track the trend, but good news, this morning her glands are even smaller and the red spots on her belly (associated with the Lymphoma) have disappeared!


It seems the drugs are working! 
Unfortunately, around dawn Sheba starting clacking, meaning she was walking around and the noise of her nails on the floorboards that makes you want to tear your ears off, meant she had to go to the bathroom. 


Chris took her down and reported that she had diarrhea and had to go to the bathroom several times. This is most likely a side effect of her medication. We need to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get out of control. 

I modified her food today to hopefully, relax her stomach. Along with a cup of boiled chicken, Sheba received her vegetables and half a stalk of celery pureed with chicken broth. The broth added more fluid to her system and the celery stalk should balance her pH levels. I also removed the garlic for now, I'll try to reintroduce it in a couple days. 

Her 'Prairie Dog' Stance - note the swishy tail

It looked rather unappetizing to me but Sheba heartily disagreed.
