Carlo Update 6/3 - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

shodanusmc · 06-11-2010, 07:53 AM

Just got back from the Animal Hospital with Carlo. He got his 4th Chemo shot and a complete blood work up. The big guy is doing outstanding. Blood work looks good, exam looks great, and he is handling the Chemo and Prednisone real well. He also got a B-12 shot and he gained 3 more pounds since last week. He is almost back to his normal weight prior to his surgery and the Chemo.

Now he starts on one Chemo shot every other week. However, he still will need to go in for a blood test weekly. Next week he also will get an X-Ray and an Ultra Sound done. Everyone at the Hospital has fallen in love with the big goof.

Like father, like son.

Great news, I wasn't expecting to hear such success with Carlo, I guess treatment has improved so much in the last 10 years. Praying for continued success!

Just like a man! He gets better looking with age.

Steve, I'm so glad Carlo is doing so well. I've fallen head over heals for his manly self.

Carlo's prize that he won in the raffle, a Large Himalayan Chew arrived. He enjoyed it for all of 2 minutes, and then it was no more. I figured since it was hard and large, it would last for a while. He swallowed the last of it, and looked at me as if to say go get me another one. Guess I will take him for a walk as the rain has stopped.
