So we have just finished day 5 and still getting better. Benji seems to be more confident and stable as the days go on. I thank God for this wonder every second. I recieved news that he is now losing protein in his Urine and that has to be monitored as we start Chemo on Monday.
He seems not to be drinking enough water and I am guessing that it is because that I am cooking Dr. Damien Dresslers Cancer diet and add alot of the meat juices to the food. I have also started to give him Cordyceps and K9 Immunity to strengthen his Immune system and lessen the side effects of chemo if there are any.
Benji slept well the first night home but was a bit uncomfortable for the first few hours yesterday. After cudlling next to him and putting him on his comfortable side he was ok the whole night through. Today morning he hopped out into the garden and did his business and hopped really fast back into the kitchen for his food.
I removed the pain patch today and he is on a NSAID and 2x50g Tramadol for the night. I hope we both get a good nites sleep since I have been waking up every time I hear something and get worried and paranoid that something might be wrong.
All in all still very happy about his progress.

Progress is a good thing. What does your vet say about giving immunity supplements during chemotherapy? Check out our interview with oncologist Dr. Mona Rosenberg for important information from the NIH.

Well my vet and the oncologist said it would be ok. The Chemo will start on Monday and I will give it until then. I will make sure I take them with me and ask again.
I did read and watch the interview. It’s confusing as in someplaces it says with Chemo and others 7 days after.
