Ty is no worse, but really not a whole lot better either. Still laying around a lot, not eating a lot and does not even want to try to get on couch today. His fever is still down, which is a small consolation. A part of me wants to just stop all the med nonsense and see if he feels better. I won't though, as I am convinced that infection is lurking somewhere. I think I figured out the weird drooling after the Carafate. I read that it forms a sticky gel. He kind of burps it up and lets it run out of his mouth. He ate an Italian sausage (I know.....) and a hamburger and a half today. I just do not feel like he is enjoying his life right now. I also do not want to make any rash decisions either. I just wish I knew. if I knew this was as good as it gets for him, I could make the decision to make that trip. There is just some teeny tiny part of me that says "no, just wait a few days". Kind of like I am darned if I do and darned if I don't. Waiting on callback form vet as to what to do with meds over weekend. Hoping Vector panel is back. I am out of antibiotics and not sure what she will want to do. He did get up and hang out a bit with some friends that came to visit him. by the time their mom came to pick them up, he had crashed. I could tell what she was thinking, but was kind enough not to say, I had reacted kind of badly one other time she brought it up.(crying, Not responding). I don't want to just make him stay for my benefit. I WANT MY DOG BACK!!!! I want my jumping, bouncing ,tail wagging,shoe stealing dog back! The last time I actually saw that dog was months ago, when I stupidly left him at first vets for synovial fluid draw, xrays and cortisone shot. He was bouncing around( on 3 legs) had 4 just was not using one. Wagging tail and just staring at me with adoration in those big brown eyes. Even the vet was laughing at that. I cried the whole way home that night. Was like I somehow knew. This is a dog that would drag me across the parking lot to get to the car and now he wont even jump onto the couch, sorry, rambling I know. This is just so not how I envisioned this turning out. He was such an active crazy boy, that I thought he would bounce right back like Tigger. The frustrating thing is, he shows no signs of mets anywhere. Could it really still be the cancer( I refuse to give it an upper case c) making him this sick? Is this because he had this for so long before we got it taken care of?  Has anyone else still had such an ill dog at this point? today is 5 weeks post amp. Thank you for listening, it helps to have someone to talk to. Everyone around here is pretty sick of listening to me.
