Tired Teddy

6/11/2015

Teddy had a long day Tuesday, and he was wiped out when he got home. He had a "staging" appointment at OSU, where he gets examined for any evidence of cancer occurring, which involves chest x-rays and an abdominal ultrasound, a physical exam and blood and urine tests. The good news is that no evidence of cancer was found, so yippee!! for that. The not so good news is that he has some indicators for chronic kidney disease. There is some hope that it is related to some medication that he has been on most of his life for his hips, and if we cut that out, maybe that will help. And, the OSU doctors say that neither type of chemo he gets should affect his kidneys, but I kind of think having chemicals pumped into your body every ten days could have all kinds of results, and I'm secretly hoping that when he's done with chemo, he'll improve a little with the kidney issue. Anyway, we are in full-on kidney assistance mode now, with a prescription diet. One of the doctor-approved treats for dogs with kidney disease is Kellogg's Corn Pops, which Teddy is particularly excited about, so we will use that as his special bedtime treat.

Teddy also had his chemotherapy infusion yesterday following his staging, so he was at OSU pretty much all day. I don't think he would have even minded skipping his walk last night, but we went for a very short trip, then he was ready for bed. Check him out snoozing on "The Big Bed," formerly known as Art and Dana's bed:
