Another delay.

One thing that we noticed since Gaby's chemo treatments was her acute sense of obedience! A silver lining, if you will. She does about everything that you tell her. Well, not everything! She didn't listen to Jennifer when a stray cat goes running from under our deck into the woods. Gaby gave a good chase. Most of the time I don't even need to leash her to take her to the vet office if I don't want to. She jumps down from the car, trots over, and stands at the front door waiting to be let in.

(Here is a picture of Gambit and Gaby around 2002.)

She is getting used to the vet's office. She still shivers a little but she seems less reluctant to go through the back door into the exam rooms. I still have to get up and act like I'm walking back but I don't need to walk all the way back to the back. She gets it and just goes on.

We are now a week after the dox treatment and Gaby is due for her 7th week treatment, according to the protocol that we are following. The 7th treatment is a light week with a CBC and Visticrine. At home, we are giving her the Cytoxin every other day. One of these posts, I will post the entire 12 week protocol that we are following as I just realized that I never have done that.

Well, Gaby's white blood cell count is down today and we postponed her next treatment by a week. This is about our 3rd delay due to one thing or another. It will give her a chance to rest.
