Hello friends, today we have had a consultation with the oncologist, he has done some tests, they are fine except for the urea that is a bit high. We are going to do a metronomic therapy, cyclophosphamide and proactive every other day, for 6 months.

There she is! We have missed Jara, it's so good to see her having fun!
And it's great news that she's doing so well with her health. Metronomics is a good step! Most dogs do very well on it.
One thing to watch out for is a condition called "cystitis." Your vet will probably tell you about it, but you want to make sure you give her the cyclophosphamide in the AM (double check though, they may want to do it differently). The thinking is so that she can urinate the medication out all day and it doesn't sit in her bladder too long. Some dogs develop a bladder infection so you want to avoid that, it's so painful.
But I have a feeling that Jara is going to rock that metronomic chemotherapy too! She is truly amazing. Thank you for the great update.

LOL that is such a funny clip! She's telling you "Play! Now! Play Now!"
What a cute little fluff ball. Looks like she is still the puppy that she was when when she was younger.
I'm glad the vet told you about watching for the cystitis, that's great. Jara is good to go!

OHHHH MYYYY GOSH!! Such a cutie!!!! Harley is absolutely adorable!!! Harley hasn't idea yet how lucky he is to be in your pack!
When harley went over and took the toy from her brother was just precious. And what a good older brother to let him have it. And Jara wanted a toy so badly! She was so polite trying to wait her turn, but finally had to quickly and gently take it!
I just love all uour pack......and no dogs could ever be more loved! Truly the happiest dogs on earth.
Thanks so much for introducing Harley to us. Can't wait to see more of that fluffball!

PUPPY! Oh my gosh how did I miss Harley's big debut?! I'm so glad you shared again because this just makes me so happy! 
Is Harley from the same parents as Jara?
Looks like everyone is getting along pretty well. That's really cool! What a great present to the whole family. Congratulations
