eye issues

One week down! We've been putting the eyedrops in faithfully, and were optimistic earlier in the week. Dave's left eye seemed to get much clearer initially, but yesterday I noticed that it appears to be getting a bit more cloudy. I hope that it's the glaucoma rather than the LSA, since I'd rather him not have to lose an eye.

He ate wonderfully again today, and his lymph nodes are barely noticeable. The change is unreal compared to his bad weekend. He's back to being Dave - here he is sniffing for crumbs on the floor! Over the last week, the only real differences are his slower eating and that he seems to tire a little more quickly. All in all, not too bad. His reaction to the prednisone is good - he's drinking a more, but hasn't had any accidents in the house. His dosage gets reduced later this week. We also started him on CVS brand fish oil caplets today, per the vet's recommendation.

Tomorrow is his second round of chemo, so we're expecting to see more lethargy. Maybe we won't, which would be a great thing.

Here's a video of Dave snoring. Some not-nice-person gave him three out of five stars on You Tube. What an ass!
