still a bit out of it

I don't know if it's the chemo or all of the meds or a combination of both, but Dave has remained tired this week. Lots of rest and lots of snoring. We did get him outside for a few walks, which perks him up at the time, but takes a lot out of him after. He enjoyed the nice weather outside yesterday, while we did some weeding and planting.

We tried giving him regular food, hoping that the meds would be enough to fight the GI issues, but he hit the trifecta Friday - #1 in the house, diarrhea and vomit outside, all within about ten minutes. I called for a refill of one of the nausea medications, Zofran, and the vet called it into our local pharmacy. I went to get it, and it was $500!! There were 20 pills, but still. At Penn, for whatever reason, it was $9.50 for 5 pills. I like the $1.90 a pill price much better than the $25/pill. Needless to say, I didn't get it at our pharmacy, and we're picking it up from Penn little later today.

Dave is scheduled for his yearly check up Thursday night, and he'll get bloodwork to ensure his white cell count is good. If it's not, he'll have to continue the Baytril a little longer. Obviously, we're hoping that it's within normal limits, and that he'll be feeling better shortly.
