Been battling nausea the last two days. Yesterday
was bad; today
she seems better. I spoke with her oncologist this
evening; she
said it sounds like reanal(sp?) failure. Belle
will need lots of
liquids and half a Pepcid
twice a day. There are some more drastic
things we could do but that would just delay the
inevitable. So I
am going to try and get her in for a blood screen
so that the
oncologist can judge exactly what's going on.
Tonight I got her to eat. And she seemed much more
interested but
picky; only people-food gets her interest. The
oncologist said that
could either be the nausea or just plain, old
beagle stubborness.
My guess it's a little of each. Knowing her, she's
probably
thinking that if she's going to feel bad, she
might as well milk it
for all the goodies it's worth! So I try and
strike a happy medium,
something she'll eat without making a bad thing
worse. Not sure how
long we have left with her, so might as well make
the most of it.
Her face is so white now. When she was a puppy, it
was mostly brown
with marvelous black mask from ear to ear across
her eyes. She has
aged so much, it seems, since this whole thing
started.
There I go. Rambling again...
