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

I am sending mega prayers up to St. Francis that Henry’s second round of chemo goes much smoother.
We are #TeamHenry for #HenryStrongAllDayLong.
Love you Henry.
Hopefully he will have an easier time this go round since he is further removed from his surgery. Also, the whole scenario should be more familiar to him. Will just keep praying.
My male pug, Snuggles is like Henry. He has always been a picky eater and will only eat a certain amount and he is done. He varies between 18 - 19 lbs. Otherwise, is very healthy. He is now 8 years old. Prayers for our Henry.

Henry my boy, you have this in the bag! You will be golden. The first treatment was a learning experience for everyone, but with this one, mom and dad know more of what to expect and can plan accordingly. #HenryStrong #PrayersforHenry
Here’s love and prayers for Henry’s upcoming chemo treatment. Sounds like y’all are doing everything to help him get ready for it. I know it is hard not to worry.
My Genevieve is a very picky eater. The other two pugs I had were little oink oinks but not her. She will just give the stink eye and turn her nose up sometimes.
If boring and bland means lots of cuddle time and little walks and good food, it sounds like that is Pug Heaven! I hope Henry is able to regain that typical pug appetite and put a bit of padding back on!
Henry Strong All Day Long!
God Bless you Henry. You will do well. Your folks are taking the best possible care of you. Listen to them and take it easy bubba! Henry strong all day long!!
Stay Henry strong all day long….We are sending you lots of JuJu from MN….Butch Sundance and our human
