    Default Lily Update-Chemo #3

    Lily went in for her third Chemo treatment so we are halfway through ( two more appts. left) and so far, so good. They did the chest x-rays and didn't see any metastis (unofficially, we still have to wait for the radiologist to give his report).

    She did have a little more nasuea with the last one, but that's because they forgot to give her one of her nasuea meds.

    She's been a trooper through all this and hasn't lost her spunky personality or ability to charm the vets. Other than her tongue hanging out the right side of her mouth sometimes you would never know she had any medical issues.

    Thanks for all the and support, I' sure they have helped. I'm so glad I caught it early and was able to get her in for surgery and treatment before it spread.

    This is such an unusual situation ( bone cancer in the lower jaw of a small dog) that it's hard to find other people who have been through this, so at first I didn't know what to expect. The vet said Lily is a good "teaching case" for their veterinary students because it is uncommon and if they do happen to have a patient with similar issue once they become vets hopefully they will remember her case.

    I'm sure that our Lily will be remembered by those students for far more than her case! There seems to be a habit among the doxen of charming the vet staff...

    Lots of love to Lily and her mom. So happy to hear she's doing well. Forgetting one of her meds - not so much!
