Sorry it's been awhile.......but time for updates.  First off Sessy is doing wonderful and completely acts like her normal self!!  Funny how this feels like it's been going on forever when it is now only 7 weeks since she became a tripawd.  

We had a few bumps in the road since my last post.  Sessy did great with her first chemo...... but just a few days after, the skin about 1/4 inch below her healed incision opened up in 2 places and started to bleed and ooze.  The skin around the area was also really dark.  Thank goodness for cameras on cell phones, I was able to take a picture and send to her DR at UCDavis.   They called us 10 minutes later and told us to come in right away!  They cleaned up the area.... put her on antibiotics....told me to leave it alone and let it bleed/ooze.  They had me send pictures for the next 3 days till the color of her skin started looking more normal.  The following week they got results, and it was three separate bacterial infections.Who knows what caused it.... and an additional antibiotic was added.  Through all of this Sessy didn't seem to be in pain, but we did put her back on pain meds for about 5 days.  Seven days after it started.....suddenly no more bleeding/oozing.  

Second bump in the road was when we went for our second chemo.  Sessy wasn't able to have her chemo because her white blood cells were too low.  Of course this freaked me out.  Fortunately a week later her white blood cells were back to normal, and she was able to have her second chemo.  UCDavis told me that some dogs have low white blood cells about 10 days after chemo, and some dogs have low white blood cells 21 days after chemo.  Sessy falls into the second catagory, so going forward she will be having her chemo every four weeks instead of every three weeks.  Hopefully this won't change things?

Well friends this brings us to the present.  Sessy is her happy self.  We've been going on walks with the neighborhood dog pack and she is able to walk a little bit further every day.  Last night at the park while some of the smaller fogs were racing around and playing, Sessy really perked up and start prancing around.  If I had let her off leah she would have been chasing every one around!!

Nope......you smell boring Tink.....and don't even think about cleaning my ears
