From Indy - Watch out! Mom learned how to use the camera. Check out my new pic. ;)
Indy hit his 3 month mark yesterday. He's doing well, energy's up, eating fine. We did notice today though that after he gets up from naps or resting that his tongue is blue-ish and his gums are white. We're suspecting some anemia from the increased NEO dose. After he moves around a bit and runs for his ball a few times, his color returns to normal. Not sure what's up with that. He's also peeing a lot so we're hoping that's a bladder infection from some of the meds he's been on for a skin condition and not something more serious.
We're going to take him in this week for some blood work and another checkup, but we're optimistic. His spirits are great and he just wants to play all the time, so he doesn't look like a sick pup. Keep your fingers crossed and your prayers coming in. We're now officially in our last 4 weeks, according to conventional meds, so these are our critical days.
Thanks for all the support!
On July 23rd 2011 our beloved 9 year old Golden Retriever, Indiana (Indy) underwent an ER splenectomy and had two tumors removed. On July 27th he was diagnosed with Histiocytic Sarcoma. On Thursday July 28th, he began his treatment with a new drug called Neoplasene. This blog is an attempt to share our story with altnerative cancer treatments - we're praying that it's a good one!
You go Indy!!
