Thank you both very much. Riot had an easier time this round, as I asked that we wait for his blood work in an exam room, instead of him being in the busy and loud back room. He did much better with anxiety. Hopefully his counts will be good enough in three weeks for another dose. He gets scans in 6 weeks, either way. He ate a few bites of food last night, but nothing this morning. I couldn't get his anti nausea or pain meds down him, so another rough day for Riot. I'm hoping that if my Dad gets discharged today, still up in the air, he'll feel happy enough to eat a bit. At least enough to get some pills. He won't take the appetite stimulant either. He's not the kind of dog you can force a pill down. Hopefully he'll just sleep today, and be feeling  a bit better tonight. I'm going to write up a blog post soon.

Thank, Jerry. It's not looking good for him coming home, but we'll know in a few hours.

I've been shown how to do it. He's very head shy for procedures. He knows instantly when something has changed from basic attention. He's great with ear cleaning at least. He's just not a pillable dog. His vets have all agreed it's not worth the stress on me or him. If he doesn't eat it, then it better come in shot form, or he does without.
