I am just thrilled for Carlo.....you are amazing "big guy"! Steve, this is such good news, that had to lift your spirits for sure. He's a lucky trooper to have a dad like you!

Thank you. He is a tough dog for sure. He is still pretty much out of it. Did not even want a treat. Just looked at me. In a few hours, he will snap out of it and be his old self. He will get another cancer pill CEENU in 3 1/2 weeks. At least his WBC and Platelet count is back to normal.

Sammy Mommy · 04-04-2011, 01:33 PM

I'm glad Carlo is doing well. Give him a big hug from us!!!

Glad to hear Carlo had a wonderful report and hopefully you will also be able to give a good report on your back tomorrow.

He gets another Chemo Pill in 3 1/2 weeks, and then goes back to the specialist in 3 months for the same tests, and to his regular vet before and after the Chemo pill for blood work. No restrictions, so we will be going for walks again soon. Not sure if it was the Domitor or Tobugesic that has him with no sea legs!

The old guy is a wonder and very strong. He is a bit loopy now. Had to lift him into the Vehicle which is no easy matter now for this old guy.

Didn't read this until now. So, glad you all is within normal limits......

Gotta love that guy....

He is a testament to his caregiver! Most would have put him down but you have really given him your all. I commend your love and responsiveness to him.

Carlo went in for an Exam and Blood Test this morning. Physically, he is terrific, Great heart and lungs. Blood Test (CBC and Liver) came back normal, so tomorrow he will receive he 6 week CEENU, the Chemo pill.

EarthAngel · 04-25-2011, 03:14 PM

Steve, you are doing so well with your big boy Carlo!! I hope you know I have come to love him and am really happy he is doing well!

lisaly · 04-25-2011, 03:23 PM

I am always so happy to hear when Carlo gets a good report. You have a family of three unique, very loved pups, and I enjoy seeing your photos and hearing all of your stories of them. It's funny how attached we get to pups we don't personally know, but I know I really care about your "little ones."
