Just checking in! Same old same old with the BG... we're heading back up a bit with the dose, but for a while we were comfortably down at 2 U. Back up to 2.5 now but we're getting some green today.

The big news is that we're halfway through the second round of chemo treatments, and his weight is up about a quarter of a pound from last week! (From 10.28 to 10.56.) So this is a really good sign. The vet also says he can't feel any thickening of the intestine now, and everything else feels normal. In a couple of weeks we'll do an abdominal ultrasound (and x-ray to look at the lung mass), and probably drop back to every other week for chemo. Long term view is still not great, but I'll take whatever we can get.

He's one tough kitty!

Fantastic news!

I must admit I stalked the spreadsheet recently. That was a healthy gain the last week. Take the wins when you can. Pass on some scritches to the trouble maker for me. How's he acting these days?

He's his usual self, for the most part. Today he's still a bit dopey from the gabapentin that he gets before each chemo treatment (makes it much easier on him and the staff when getting the IV in). He's very very very interested in people food... yesterday he stole a cookie (but we got it away from him before he ate it), and he's been jumping up on the stove to look for goodies there, so we can't leave it unattended even for a second when we're cooking. We've also been giving him occasional bits of turkey/ham (and freeze dried chicken treats). He's a very spoiled boy right now.
