Day Eight is Great!

Two good days in a row – hopefully we’re starting a streak!  That gabapentin is some powerful stuff.  Made it through an entire 24 hour period in comfort – with no Tramadol added in!  Ate “old fashioned dog food” for the second day.  Lucky took a few outdoor adventures around the yard with a little more stamina, and settled in to his favorite spot in front of the glass front door to “talk” to the other dogs and people as they strolled by.  He seems to be following a pattern similar to what others have experienced – when he is not out and about for his short adventures he is sleeping and rejuvinating!  And as a bonus we even received 2 calls from his “new” oncologist’s office today – one from the staff and one from the vet checking up to make sure Lucky was doing OK and letting us know the status of the clinical trial enrollment.  A great day!

  1. I’m so happy to hear Lucky is doing better! Also glad to hear you found an oncologist that responds to your needs and questions. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but there is another San Diego Tripawd on the forums: Abby. She has just started Palladia as part of her chemo protocol, so you might want to check out her Tripawd blog, “Pooch Smooches.” Good luck and keep us posted. I hope to be reading many more great updates and seeing many more great photos of your Lucky boy!
