Prepping for Chemo #2
Coming up on September 15th will be Henry's 2nd visit to the oncology vet where he will receive his 2nd chemotherapy treatment. We are trying to get him ready for this visit as best we can. His first round of chemo turned out to be a little tough on him but we tried to take it all in stride. We recognize that he was only one week off losing a kidney, and 2 weeks from his biopsy. He had a special day traveling and while exciting, that was still a type of stress to him. So, this time, we are trying to keep things low key, offer him balance and calm.
Essentially, we have tried to keep it pretty boring and bland. No big events. Short walks, lots of cuddle time and the best balanced diet he will eat His pooper seems to be doing a bit better so his IDB seems to be on the upswing. We are hoping that he gained a pound or so going into this round of chemo. After his first round he started to shrink away a little bit so we are hoping that we added that little extra back on so that we have a bit of a pad going into this upcoming visit. Benjamin & Luna were typical gluttonous pugs. Henry, not so much. We are not even sure anymore if he is really a pug! A pug that doesn't really want to eat? Yikes! We've never met anything like that!
Anyway, we are just trying to do everything we can to go in to his next round of treatment with all his ducks in a row so that he doesn't toss his quackers or lose his tail feathers.
Staying low key but positive for Team Henry! #HenryStrong #AllDayLong
