Actually it went really, really well.  He handled it much better than I did.  They said he was amazing for them during the treatment.  After I got him home, he was a little under the weather for the remainder of Friday but Saturday was a whole different ball game.  He was in the toy box, looking for chewies.  He was wandering around, harassing the cat... it was... amazing.  We had his anti-nausea meds for Saturday and I gave it to him just in case Sunday when he started drooling.  But today, he's just panting because it's hot outside and, goddess forbid, I make him go outside to go to the bathroom.  I am such a mean mum!! 

I switched his food too.  I had gotten some freeze dried treats from the local organic pet food store, Crunchies, and he loved them.  But they are a little too expensive for a Great Pyrenees sized dog.  But they sell the same things, different brand, at Petco.  Along with that, they sell pet food that is coated in the freeze dried chicken mixture.  I thought, what can it hurt.  Well, he has eat more in the last three days than he has since his amputation.  We had three bowls yesterday alone.  When I asked the oncologist about this, she said that even some human cancer patients under go a complete change in the way things smell and even taste.  She said sometimes the texture can even throw people and animals off when they have cancer.  With dogs being so smell oriented, she said he may have that smell associated with something different now.  So if the new food works, I am not going to question it.  He loves it.  It's grain free , gluten free and is the "limited ingredients" version... so it's good for him.

Unfortunately, it's also become something his brother, the weak stomach/boweled one, likes too.  So that's been a disaster of getting up in the middle of the night to get him outside.  But he's getting better.  Honestly, I hope it stays like this.  He's doing great so far.  If all his chemo is this easy (fingers crossed) then this will go so much better than I expected and I can finally stop crying when I think about it.

Daniela - that is great news.  I hope for the both of us that it stays this easy!  Appa is a trooper and is back to being his bad breath self.
