Angel is feeling good, but xrays showed two small spots on her lungs, so we started Palladia chemo, which are the pills she takes at home three days a week. After her fourth dose, she threw up, etc. so we lowered dosage. She took her first one two days ago, and her appetite is not quite up to par, so I imagine her vet will want to take her off. She mentioned trying metronomics, which I think is a low dose of chemo daily. I have to research more on it. I am about to scour the Tripawds site to find out more from the experts as soon as I finish this update. Angel is still enjoying her stroller every day. We walk a block or two, and then she get in the stroller and we roll!!!! I am still worrying most every minute, but I think I am doing better about enjoying every second with my girl.
Hey Angel, I’m sorry to hear about the spots and the so-so reaction to Paladia. It’s not uncommon and many dogs do need to stop taking it.
As for metronomics; YES! There’s lots of great info in the Forums and we are here to help if you have any questions OK?
