Nacho's on the mend after a rough bout of an upper respiratory infection, likely brought on by the Vincristine as well as Prednisolone. We spent a Saturday in the animal ER to get him checked out just to make sure his lungs were clear. They were, so after some fluids and Lysine supplements, he is much less congested and was able to do this week's chemo treatment. We also spent a few days patting his chest in a steamy bathroom (coupage) to get him cleared up.

This week's chemo treatment was Cytoxan, and he seemed a bit nauseous afterward. His appetite wasn't as fierce, and it was difficult to get him to take the Cerenia tablets for nausea. We ended up taking him in for an injection to help him through the rest of the weekend.
Otherwise, Nacho's blood work looked better this time around! His anemia is improving and the white blood cell count is now within normal limits. He also managed to gain 1/2 pound over the last week. We are excited to see the improvement and are enjoying every moment with our brave boy!
