Chemotherapy: Cycle 3

Lulu has incredibly fuzzy feet! We've been trying to scope out a new groomer in the area. Lulu and Cora have both been going to Paw House in Cypress since we've moved out here and Cora got a pretty bad allergic reaction the last time they gave her a bath so I'm hesitant to bring Lulu in. (Especially since her skin still looks so sensitive)

So in the meantime, Lulu has grown fuzzies all over, especially on her feet. Lulu also went in to start Cycle 3 of her chemotherapy today. She has run out of prednisone but the doctor said she doesn't need it anymore. Maybe now she'll shed her extra pounds?





A typical chemotherapy cycle (3 weeks) looks like this:
Evaluation with Dr. Turner
Vinblastine 10 x 0.1mg (chemotherapy by injection)
Catheterization, butterfly
CBC w/o differential
Blood Draw
Oral chemotherapy handling fee
Lomustine Cap 10 x 10mg (chemotherapy by oral capsule)
Recheck with Dr. Turner within 1 week
Recheck with RDVM within 1 week
CBC check within 1 week
