He's much better this AM after a rocky 48 hours or so. The new Fentanyl patch has kicked in and he's much more comfortable. The problem is that his appetite is fairly depressed. He did eat a can of chicken this morning, and some freeze dried lamb treats, but he's really not interested in eating. HOWEVER, good pain control is what we wanted and having achieved that we're HAPPY campers!!
Also gave him a Pepcid which may have helped settle him as well as he's prone to upset tummy anyway. Our pee and poo are a little down as well, but hey, nothing in the front means far less out the back (that's all technical talk by the way, send the kiddies to their rooms!).
He's still eating the K9 Immunity, seems to like a the taste a lot. He's figured out that peanut butter may hide "mysterious nasty tasting little white things" so we've had to resort to pill pockets to get our pills down. We have an appointment with the oncologist tomorrow so hopefully we'll find out exactly where we are. To have an amputation and chemo the same week -- amazing he's made it with so few problems. We slept about five hours last night, which is a record for the last two weeks. And a mommy with more sleep is a lot more patient!
