Sadie Coquette
We woke up early Wednesday morning for the weekly trip for Sadie’s Chemo session. This is to be her third treatment. We dropped her off and headed home to wait for the call to pick her up.
The Oncologist called us before Noon with good news. Sadie is in “clinical remission” which means tumor in her throat 100% controlled. She will still need course of chemo but will be able to skip next week. We will take her in to our regular vet for a blood count. Sadie will continue with prednisone until end of 24 weeks when we will wean her off of it. Her white cell count is great and she has normal blood pressure. Last week Sadie would not have any part of letting them take her blood pressure so Dr. was please they were able to do so today. He said they will administer the chemo shortly, it is doxorubinicin, and has to be administered slowly and carefully. Sadie will need a mild sedative and we can pick her up early afternoon. We were grateful for the good news.
We picked her up Wednesday afternoon. She was a little groggy from the sedative but we were told that this normal. In a few hours she was back to normal. Her voice is coming back and she is strong enough to jump on the kitchen counter without help. As with Sophie, our cat with kidney disease, we understand that these situation can change quickly. We are grateful for every day they are with us.
