Tanzi has been feeling well all week, so far the doxyrubicin has not floored him at all except for diarrhea which started on Friday. As a matter of fact , although he has been having watery diarrhea we still managed to do a 3 hour on Sunday. He is still quite hungry even though we stopped the preds this past thursday. Tanzi had developed a twitch and at nite would almost incessantly it seems lick both of his front legs. All that has stopped and we are guessing that the preds were just making him very anxious. As to the diarrhea we decided to not go back on the Flagyl which somehow seems to make him very lethargic. So far it seems that the antibiotics cut down on his energy level much more than the actual chemo. Instead we are going with increasing his dosage of l-glutamine as well as using Thorne Research’s Gastroplex product. We actually bought a lot of Thorne Research at www.wellvet.com. Hopefully, these will manage to contain his diarrhea. The other good news is that he is still no longer showing any signs of blood in either his stool or penis discharge.
Today is another big day. Tanzi is going through a set of tests in order to “re-stage” him i.e. in order to understand if he is in remission and whether he can proceed with two sessions of radiation. Let’s hope.
