Indy's doing very well. He's at the vet today for his 4th V-C treatment. If nothing else, they seem to boost his energy level. He also weighed in at 68.8 lbs today, so he's gained some back. All healthy signs, but we have a long way to go yet.
We're coming up on the 3rd week of Neoplasene treatments and everything seems fine. I really wish there was a way to track his progress other than by looking to see if he's breathing, but the vet said it would be months yet before any new tumors would be large enough to detect so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
Brian has recently purchased a meat grinder. He's excited about his new toy and hopefully it will cut down on the cost of preparing Indy's meals. We'll get back to you on how that project goes. Thank you Otto for talking him out of the hand crank one!
I also noticed that Blogger seemed to have fixed their "Follower" gadget, so now if you're interested you can become Indy Fans. Maybe. :)
Keep the prayers coming! They're working well! Thank you again for all the support.

Vitamin C Treatments
Indy is doing well post-opt! If you didn't know any better you would think nothing was wrong, but then we've been told that's how this would go.
He's on day 6 of Neoplasene and so far so good. He's LOVING his home cooked diet, as are the other two spoiled 'children.' No problems with vomiting and no issues eating. We're lucky so far, but the dose will be going up soon so keep the prayers coming!
He also had his first round of intravenous Vitamin C treatments today. He'll have two more this week. The staff at Animal Wellness have made a good impression on him. He was eager and happy to get out of the car and go inside. I can't tell you the last time that's happened at a vet appointment.
He has to stay all day to have this treatment. When I picked him back up this afternoon he was bright-eyed and bushy tailed. We're trying to really appreciate these good days. We hope they'll continue, but we're well aware of the odds.
They ran all the tests today and looked at his blood counts. Anemia is common with Neoplasene treatments so we want to stay on top of it. Everything came back a O.K. We have a long way to go, but we're starting out strong!
