Modeling a new coat

Kato's back from his chemo treatment and feeling fine! They gave him Vinblastine instead of Vincristine and he came home with Flagyl and Cerenia for diarrhea and nausea. We will be continuing his chemo as originally planned since he's tolerating it again.
The Oncologist is very happy with the way Kato looks! His weight is stable and his bloodwork is fine. :)
Three more treatments to go!

Secret Santa

Kate got his "secret santa" gifts yesterday! Here's a shot of him enjoying the peanut butter treats. His secret santa turned out to be our friends Cheeky, Justice & Amanda and they certainly spoiled him! :)

Tomorrow is chemo day, so I'll update when he gets back!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy & healthy

Kato made it through the week with absolutely no problems from the Adria!!! I couldn't believe it! He's been running around & feeling great all week! I'm not sure what made the difference, but it's been wonderful!
I still don't know whether he'll be having chemo at home for the last 4 treatments or continue as he was. I'll find out on Sunday.

I couldn't ask for a better Christmas present than seeing Kate happy & healthy! :)

Thanks everyone!!!

The pic is one of Kate's power naps. lol

Kato kisses Santa

Kato went for chemo today and Santa was at the animal hospital. As you can see, Kato did what Kato does best - bathed him in kisses! :)

Kato got Adria today which is usually pretty rough on him, so I have another nausea med to try. His Oncologist said he looks great and because of how well he's doing and the way he's been reacting to chemo lately we may be able to do the rest of the treatments at home with an oral chemo drug. I'll find out in 2 weeks on his next visit.

More later!

Finally feeling better!

Kate is finally feeling better after a really bad allergy attack (not chemo related) and the blahs from chemo. He wound up on antibiotics & Benadryl 3x per day. His neck and head were raw and bleeding. I have never seen him like this. I did get a really good tip from one of his Vets that helped his itching quite a bit. She suggested using Gold Bond powder on him and it really made a difference, along with the Benadryl.
He's looking really great and I'm glad we have a week before his next chemo. I'm also grateful the treatments are almost over as he isn't tolerating them as well as he used to.
