A corgi's dream...

Janine is living every corgi's dream- she gets to eat as much as she wants! Not whatever she wants, but as of yesterday she has her vet's okay to eat whatever she can. Starting today she is getting three meals. We are trying to put some weight back on her. Weight loss could mean cancer, but it also might be a result of the drugs and of not feeling really great. Over the summer, I deliberately kept her weight down since she was limping off and on. So now we will see if three squares a day will get her back up. Luckily she is ravenous due to the Prednisone.

My vet says if it IS cancer, the drugs seem to be working, so for now we'll stay with it. The plan is to go 10 more days and then try to decrease the Prednisone since it seems like the Azathiaprine is what is helping the most.

I really want to get her to Christmas so she can chase bunnies at least one more time, even if it turns out to be leukemia.

I hope Janine is able to chase many more rabbits. Tell her Sammie and Jamie are saving them for her.
