Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)
Eggs is a good idea. I can’t take the narcotic patch off for three days so I hope that doesn’t hurt her appetite ? I can at least get her pain meds and antibiotic down with peanut butter or cottage cheese but the anti inflammatory has to go with food I am going to cook up grind beef and cheese at 5 and see if she’ll eat
The fentanyl will keep her groggy but I don't think it should hurt her appetite. Anesthesia can make them a little queasy, once she starts eating it will probably make her feel better.

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
I Got her meds down with some cheese thankfully. She hopped out side to go pee which is really great.
I think by this afternoon she will be ready for a full plate of Eggs Beef n cheese!
Awwww thank you for sharing her photo, Jackie! I love the teamwork!
So glad to hear Cookie is getting around and being a great patient. Way to go Doug

Well today was a turning point. She finally got her appetite back and I don’t have to force the meds. Her tail is wagging and she seems to be getting the hang of the three leg hop. I have had no more than 3 hours sleep a night since Saturday as I am so worried about pain and her comfort but she has made wonderful progress and maybe we will sleep in my bed tonight as opposed to camping out in the den. I will keep everyone posted. Now to go check on Diggs
That is great news Doug!! Good work, Cookie and Doug!!

That is wonderful! She is such a rock star.
P.S. when she sleeps on the bed please make sure she can safely get off the bed without jumping and landing on the floor too hard OK? Many people put their mattress on the floor to avoid hard impacts on their dog's joints.
