When you are with them all the time you dont notice rthe changes like someone who hasnt seem them for a while.

I am shocked now when I look back at Kockas last pictures  but I didnt see her like that at the time.

I hope she has lots of time with you  :hug:

Been in and had a chat with my vet today.....(he is so wonderful)

Anyway, going to continue gives her steroid injections....they are helping her and at the end of the day what is the worse they can do to her ....and without them that is going to happen anyway !!!!

So all the time she is happy its all good....but obv the cancer is continuing to wreck her body and the injections wont work forever
but she is fighting so hard, she has come back from the brink twice now  :Luv2:

 ;D that's great news! I would give them for as long as they are helping her - we did Schui under vet's instructions and they gave him alot of time, I hope they continue to help Issey for a good while yet  :hug:

Glad they have worked - I think you could keep using them till they no longer work, or if she does develop a side effect, but it could buy her some quality time.

Totally Agree, if they are Helping Issey lead a relatively Normal Life, I'd carry on with them and following the vet's advice

so Glad she's Feeling Better  :)

give Issey a cuddle from Me  :care:

Steroid injection has kicked in......She started eating again last night and was starving this morning....she is alot brighter again  :Luv2:

But how long do you continue with them ?
Hubby doesnt think keep giving them to her is a good idea (but then he wanted pts last monday)
but whats the worse they can do to her ?!!!!!!!!!

Didnt go too well -

Because she didnt get up for food this morning I didnt realise, until I got her up for the vets, that She has become VERY weak on her back legs....very wobberly and only walking alittle way before laying down  :'(

She had another steroid injection and I'll see how she is in 24hrs.....
She isnt consipated so that was good

Damn this  :censored: Lymphona.....I hate you  :'(

I am back again tomorrow at the vets with Bungly - think he is only weighing her to check the fluid too.

Good luck at vets  :hug:

Issey has stopped eating again  :tired:
Hardly anything yesterday and hasnt got up for anything this morning.

She tried to do a poo last night but nothing came on...then when she was walking in the frontroom a nugget fell out  :sick:
Going to go vets this morning ....she must be very uncomfortable

I'm glad you've had some good days with Issey and that she's still coping.  I can understand how you feel about your lovely vet going - its so important to have someone you trust when you're going through something like this.  I hope his replacement is just as nice  :hug:
