An update on Ivan.  Since Ivan had his left rear knee operated on November 4, with a TPLO reconstruction, and after doing hydrotherapy and chiropractic adjustments, he ruptured the right rear leg cranial cruciate ligament.  Sadly, lvan's chest xray this week came back showing lung mets, so we won't be doing another TPLO. 

We have now switched to oral chemo in hopes of slowing the tumors down.  The first drug, Cytoxan, we decided to discontinue at this point, because Ivan nees to urinate every 6 hours on this drug, and the pain in his right knee is slowing his desire to go outside, and he's not drinking much water.    We are now trying Leukeran, which doesn't pose the risk of bladder damage.

We are taking it a day at a time, and will try acupuncture.  Thanks, everyone, for all the support.  Ivan continues to wag his tail and roll over when anyone comes near, knowing he's likely to get a belly rub.  He's a trooper.
