Well, it's a big week coming up. Riot's eye stitches healed well, but there's still a small flap from where he scratched it. He sees the vet tomorrow to see if we can leave it. I hope it's just cosmetic, which is fine by me.
He also has chemo Wednesday, assuming his scans are okay. I'm sick over the thought of the c word spreading. He's been doing so well. He's eating, playing, and he just started going up the two back stairs semi regularly. If he's tired, he can't.
He's been very happy lately, and finally looking more like himself. I try not to let him see me stressed.
Just wanted to send you and riot some positive vibes and a big hug ❤ im glad to hear that his eye is healing well after his little escapade. 😉 that handsome boy certainly lives up to his name!
Love this picture of him, you can tell hes feeling good!
Big hugs,
Hugs ❤ Bev, nurse Moe cat, Autumn's Angel Roane & Angel dog Gypsy 🐾
My sweet soulmate Roane was diagnosed with osteo in June of 2019. Had a rear leg amp on July 2nd & crossed the rainbow bridge to be with her sister Gypsy on the first day of Autumn Sept 23 2019.
Riot's demeanor is the best guage of how he's doing........and he doing SPECTACULARLY!!!😁😀 And that picture....yeah.....SPECTACULAR!!!
Hugs

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!
Aww there he is! He looks like he's ready to take on the world, Shepherd-Style 🙂
We have our paws, fingers, toes & tails crossed for clear scans. It's hard not to worry of course, but just keep watching how Riot is doing and know that no matter what, he is loving this second chance you gave him for a happy, pain-free life. Talk about making the most of each day!

Clear scans! He's lost a bit more weight than they'd like. I have to try to build up 5 pounds of muscle if we can. What a relief. His WBC was too high for chemo, sadly. A week of antibiotics and hopefully we can do it next week.
Did you hear that Ruot?? You need to ADD weight!!! Not something a lot of tripawds usually jear arpund here!!! CHEESEVURGER, PIZZA, ICE CREAM QND CAKE, coming your way!!
THRILLED TO HEAR CLEAR SCANS!!!!!

He was always the perfect weight. Now he's burning more calories to get around. So, we'll add more tasty stuff to his food. Hopefully he'll be up to eating tomorrow. When he's exhausted, that's a no go.
WOW YAY RIOT!!!! Clear scans and a prescription for more food? I can't think of a better vet visit!
You're truly an original, we hardly ever hear about Tripawds needing to add a few pounds. WHEEE! Ice cream for you for a week! 😉 xoxoxox
