great week

It feels like we have a new dog in the house. I was resigned to the fact that Dave was not going to be the same dog that he was pre-chemo. The last week has been amazing - he's back to himself completely! No spitting up, much more energy and he's sleeping in bed with us again every night. I'm enjoying every minute of it.

I've been having pangs of guilt all week, though. We ran out of Dave's wet food, and didn't get to the store. We had dry food, so we fed that for two days. We saw a turnaround immediately. He's been getting it for a week now, and none of the symptoms have returned. Even his "allergies," the itching, eye discharge and sneezing are gone. I feel like such a bad owner. But I was following the advice of the holistic vet to feed him wet, "cold" food rather than the dry, "hot" food. It's all grain-free, meat only, but the cold/hot made the difference. I'm glad I know that this is good for him and that he reacts well to it.
