Chemotherapy: Cycle 2

Lulu just finished cycle 2 (out of 3) of chemotherapy. She is doing well and back to her usual antics. How do we know she's back to normal?

• She yawns (audibly) in the mornings to ask for attention
• She scavenges for food when we are gone
• She's smiling again
• But most of all, she's her usual, lazy self



We've started taking her out more often now that most of the scabbing around her nose has fallen off. Her facial fur has started growing wild so it's a big contrast against the bare skin around her muzzle. We're just crossing our fingers and waiting for her fur to come back. (She's developed a little peach fuzz on one side :P)

  1. Hi there. I work at Veterinary Cancer Group & we absolutely love your site, how you have told LuLu's story. It's clear she has had great support at home. Would you mind if we put a link on our website to this blog? I think it may be very informational to others considering radiation as well as those who may have pets currently going through a course. Let me know if you'd mind. Take care.

  2. I am happy to read LuLu is feeling better. Just reading the posts about what she's going through and looking at photos of her breaks my heart. I am rooting for her to get well as soon as possible. Hugs for LuLu!
