June 28th 2009

DAY 2 PREDNISONE
DAY 13 HYDRAZINE SULFATE
No ESSIAC tea
No SCHYRINM today

FOOD Her appetite seems improved. Definitely! Asking for food, although still refusing anything but biscuits... and only one brand of biscuits will do!
Heading to get more dog foods today for her to try.
I have a good feeling about the appetite returning. However it is not really possible to know if it the result of:
a) the Prednisone
b) the Hydrazine Sulfate now kicking in
c) the 3 doses of Schrynum over last 24 hours
By the evening she has started to nibble on real food. Very tentative, but its a start and very encouraging.
However...(here is the ugly) diarrhea... probably the dog biscuit diet?? Or adjusting to the treatments? Will have to tell the vet about this. Diarrhea in morning and in early evening.

WATER Drinking more water
Lucy is using the new Water Fountain dog dish several times a day now. I am so happy about this. SHE LIKES IT! :) I wish I had known about them years before, since I have always had the feeling that she did not drink enough water.

ENERGY Playful and Curious about food.
She went for a walk at 6am with Sheila this morning, and was very playful
Had a play at the park at 6pm. Energetic.


LYMPH NODES I think they have shrunk significantly since yesterday.
If so this is very encouraging. They all feel less tight and smaller.
Again... hard to know if it is a result of:
a) the Prednisone
b) the Hydrazine Sulfate now kicking in
c) the 3 doses of Schrynum over last 24 hours
