2nd treatment: Since the Dr was ok with a 6 hour fast yesterday, I decided a strict 8 hour was not critical. Instead of starving the boy from dinner at 4:30 pm until after the treatment, I set my alarm and give him breakfast at 4:30 am. We were able to leave the house on time today so the drive was much less stressful. Arri also figured out the routine already and decided he did not need to sit and look out the window the whole trip.
As soon as we entered the oncology office, Arri went for the Hedgehog. They have a couple of toys in the waiting area. Another couple was waiting and the wife was loving all over Arri and started a game of tug with him. She was his new best friend. Kathy, our Rad Tech, let Arri take the hedgehog with him for his nap. When he woke up from sedation, the first thing he did was grab the hedgehog. He already has the ladies wrapped around his paw. They told me he should take the hog home. I made him leave it so he could enjoy it every visit. He was ‘drunk’ when he came out but able to walk without assistance. Kind of funny to watch but I do have to be careful that he doesn’t hurt himself. He had a good solid nap on the trip home and felt much better. I have to ask the Dr. if sedation gives dogs the munchies. He comes out of treatments like a starving bear.
It is January 10th, the sun is out and it is 50 degrees. Oh, that’s right, and I’m in Michigan. What incredible weather.
