It was recommended that Ginger have 6 rounds of carboplatin every 2-3 three weeks. She was given meds for nausea and diarrhea that we ended up giving to her after every treatment since she got sick after the first one.  She was fine after that.  She also had blood work in between the chemo sessions to make sure her white blood count was ok.  It was a little low one time so they didn't give her a "full strength" dose immediately after but the other 5 were. 

I hope this helps. I know chemo sounds scary but dogs tolerate a lot better than us human.

Hi! Our Oncologist recommended and we decided to do the Chemo (Carboplatin) for Cadence. She was diagnosed with OSA back in July of this year. We did the 6 treatments with one every three weeks. She is handling the chemo really good. The only thing that happens is she tends to lose interest in food the first day or so after, but bounces back and eats like normal. We have not had to use any of the anti nausea drugs and we had to use the anti diarrhea once for a rogue round of loose stools but we think that's when she raided our garden for moldy cucumbers.   We just passed chemo #4 and we have two more to go. We get her blood checked as well as other stuff regularly and all her counts have been normal every time. We have been very lucky. Her amputation went very smoothly (we did that less than a week after discovering the tumor) as well as her recovery, and then we started her chemo two or 3 weeks after the amputation and so far, so good. Like Abby'sMom said be prepared on the food. We have already had one diet change, or should I say protein change. We had her on raw diet with bison and think that she was not feeling too well after a chemo treatment and associated that feeling with the bison. She lost interest in the bison and we switched her to chicken and she has been inhaling it like it's going out of style. Cadence is skinny also. You can see some of her bones and ribs slightly. She has always been a thin, fit dog but since all of this happened, she is at her skinniest (40 pounds). I raised this concern to the vet and she said Cadence looked good and felt good and had energy as well as all tests being normal so she was not concerned. Some dogs are just naturally that way, but we have been giving her slightly more of the raw food than what the package tells you. I wouldn't mind seeing her at 45 pounds. But the lower weight does make it easier to get around on 3 legs.
