No improvements to talk about. This dog can be a little hard to read. Shes lazy,so sleeping all day really isnt out of the norm for her. Shes never sucked a water bowl dry.its actually kinda rare to see or hear her drinking. But food is a different story. She will pass up dog food but she has never passed up any human foods. The vet told me when she starts sleeping all the time,stops eating or drinking,the end is near.
She did finally eat yesterday. On mondays,my wife brings her home some meatballs and other trimmings from work. So when my wife came home,she was expecting meatballs (she knows when meatball day is). My wife said she was jumping and hopping around waiting for meat balls. She told her there werent any and she snorted at my wife and ran in the room and ate the food i gave her.
The bad breath seems to be a come and go thing. It hasnt been the rancid make you want to puke smell. More of a lingering fart smell.you kinda gotta be right next to her to smell it.the rancid smell could be smelled across the room.
The drooling and licking isnt as bad as it was
FOR THE WHACKOS WHO FEEL THEY NEED TO MESSAGE ME SAYING IM POISONING AND KILLING MY DOG. i discussed this with my vet. It is safe. I can double what im giving her if i want too. The vet gave me the fenben.if it wasnt safe,i doubt he woulda gave me the stuff and id doubt you could walk into tractor supply and buy it off the shelf without a prescription. Dont waste your time messaging me,im just gonna block and ignore you.
Thanks for the update. I'm sure its hard to go through this but should the worse happen, you know you tried your best. Sounds like you're getting some positive indications and that is encouraging. We are all with you and your furry fren. Cancer is a beast and you have to fight it one day at a time. Bless you!
My options were to sit here and watch her slowly die or try something that may or may not work while i sit here and watch her die. My vet said it wont hurt to try so i opted for the try something while i watch her die. If it doesnt work,atleast i tried something. If it does work i might get another year or 2 with her. Other than this,shes perfectly healthy.
I hope you stick with it. I certainly would have if I'd known Baxter had liver cancer. And come on people DMing OP!! Don't you see that little message when you DM someone saying that this isn't a board for that?? As if OP isn't going through enough already, shame on you!! Hang in there! Many are rooting for you!
Im gonna stick with till the day i have to put her down. Hopefully that day wont come for another year or 2. Poor thing hasnt even hit the retired old dog that cant get on the couch stage yet.
