Another Amazing Tripawds Three Legged Dog Blog
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 …

Angel will have her third chemo on Tuesday. I am glad she is only scheduled for four treatments. It’s so nerveracking. The vet has her take the anti nausea pills for four days after, so she hasn’t had much trouble so far. We had a bit of success getting her in her stroller, but the front entrance is …
Angel had her second chemo last week, and it went as well as the first with no side effects (except a bit tired and didn’t eat as much as usual the day after). Yesterday, she hopped more than she has since the amputation, which happened to be her tenth birthday!!!! She walked all the way …
This is the closest I can get Angel to the stroller. If I put chicken inside, she will put her head in and grab it, but she just doesn’t like anything wheeled except cars. Once I get her in, I think she will like it, but it may just end up as a fixture in …
One month ago Angel was in surgery, and I was an absolute, terrified, mess. In this past month, she went through her first chemo like a champ, she now hops very awkwardly (but like a Gee) and she is living life very similar than before surgery. She doen’t want anything to do with her new …
We went to the vet today to get Angel’s blood work done, which is standard every week after the first chemo, I think. It felt good not to have any pressure going to the vet, as usually we are nervous about test results or some thing, but today it was just an in and out …
Angel had carboplatin chemo on Monday, three days ago. She will have a total of four doses by IV, adminstered every three weeks. I have not noticed any side effects, as she is always so quite and sort of sleepy..although I have been giving her a daily dose Cerenia for nasea the vet gave us …
Went to the surgeon yesterday to get stitches out. The dr. says Angel is doing great and to slowly start doing things to get her stronger, so we went to the park (Angel’s favorite abandoned school grounds) for a minute this morning. She loved it. She is normally a pretty sedentary dog, and smelling the …
Two week visit to surgeon tomorrow…yeah….Angel will be happy to get out of the house for something other than potty. She is doing well on the eating and bathroom front, although she is not a great hopper like some videos of Tripawds I have seen or read about; she looks uncomfortable and struggles, so I …
Pretty much the same on day nine. Angel seems to get up a bit more to do things on her own, but she still struggles greatly with hopping. She is not a real energetic girl anyway, so that’s good….This picture shows her crabby girl face. She probably thinks she is going to the park every …
