Hi Susan,
But she wanted to make sure Mackenzie was completely clean of any infection so I think we waited more than a month before starting the metronomic after her 5th treatment. From what I understand there's really no time limit on this – you can start it any time.
I know Jerry has some great information he's shared on this so you might want to check that out too.
We just returned from a visit with Jerry's cancer clinic, the Vet Cancer Care center in Santa Fe, and their founder, Dr. Kelly, told us that she starts most dogs on metronomics right after IV chemo (and sometimes she will do it concurrently during chemo, depending on how the dog handles it).
As for the metronomics , here is the info we shared a while back, it's a compilation of Jerry's experience:

Thanks for all the info... it sounds like 10 days after her last chemo will be ok. I'll keep you posted! Her meds just came in the mail, so we're all set to start whenever her vet and oncologist give her the green light!

Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!
