JAKE! You are a very smart dude dog!! No challenge is too big for you to figure out!

As you hear so often, every dog is different, every experience is sifferent. For the most part dogs either have no side effects at all, or minimal nausea and/or tiredness for a day or two, or three. Recently, it's been noted that some dogs here had a bit of diarrhea. In rare k stances the sice effects are more severe and the chemo is stopped. After it's out of their system they bounce back just fine. That's the good thing abput chemo, you can stop if need be.

Many Oncos will give you Cerenia in case there is some nausea. Some Oncos have yiu give a couple of Cerenia before and after the chemo.

My Happy Hannah had four rounds of Carboplatin for osteo. She had zero side effects! Never needed any Cerenia and never missed a meal.

Jake will jave blood work drawn around the two week mark before the next chemo If his white blood count is low, the treatment will be delayed until the WBC returns to normal. This is nothing to worry about if it happens. Some Oncos actually say it means the chemo is working if that happens.

Just a couple of scenarios you may, or may not encounter.

Oh, and it's always fun to go to a drive thru and get Jake cheeseburger and an ice cream cone as a reward after each treatment!

Ler us know how it goes!

Hugs!

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
