Oh, thank god.

I just read the entire thread and my heart was somewhere near my stomach. I'm so, so glad Byron is responding well to the treatments, and I'm praying his recovery continues - I remember seeing one of your wedding photos of you and your pup, it was one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen..

::HUGS:: NEL, I hope you can get a good night's rest now that he's on the mend.

Byron had his first chemotherapy treatment yesterday and is doing a little better today! YAY!

He's able to walk around on his own now, though he's very wobbly and needs help getting up. Still no firm diagnosis, but he's due for round 2 of chemo in 3 weeks. I think the good thoughts are working!!

That's such good news! It shows that the chemo works on whatever it is that is causing Byron's problem! Hang in there!

Hugs,
Deb/AGBF

Go, Byron, GO! Glad to hear he is making some improvements, and hoping for even more. We're still sending loads of healing dust to your big 'ole pup, NEL. Please keep us updated as time permits.

Thanks again, all, for the continued good wishes and thoughts!

I haven't heard back from the vet today, but wanted to give a little update regardless because you all have been so nice.

So, here are a few pics of my recovering boy:

So happy he's doing a little better :appl:

And he looks so adorable with all those little shaved spots - what a cutie. And how wonderful he's got Bosun as a friend to keep him doggie company. :))

So glad that Byron is responding to the treatment. And I think it's cute that he has a "poodle cut" on his front legs. But don't tell him. I'm guessing he doesn't want to look like a poodle!

He's STANDING! So his bare-naked places are good luck charms, NewEnglandLady. So curious what the other titers tell you. It is the most awful experience to watch your best buds sick & not be able to help. I do understand from my own through the years.

Buck -- who has rear leg weakness himself due to a ruptured spinal disc & consequent pinched nerves (plus age) -- asked me to send his best woowoos to Byron & you. I'm including a few of my own as well as thoughts thoughts thoughts of you both.

--- Laurie

ETA: You can see the shaved area on Buck's front right leg from his latest veterinary adventure. He has special sympathy for Byron. Maybe they could start a self-help group?

I have no updates (was told to try again tomorrow), but just wanted to tell you, JF, that Buck is absolutely adorable. And Byron would absolutely love to start a self-help group. He and Buck could get together and complain about the woes of growing old (and losing mobility). It's SO tough to watch them age. Everytime I see Byron struggle I feel little shots of pain that start in my heart and spread through my chest.
