Thanks Robin! The prayers and positive energy headed Oz's way definitely can't hurt.
Oz is still doing a-okay. Another vet appointment next Friday. I think we've got another 3 and a half months left on this treatment and hopefully the cancer is in remission by then and stays in remission.
We'll hope so! Oz will remain in our prayers!
I've been keeping track of this thread and following Oz's progress. I'm sending out lots of positive thoughts and prayers and I know that Oz will soon be in full remission. Your furkids have always had a special place in my heart, Les. Hang in there!

Thanks Karen!
Hi Robin! Just saw your message or would have posted back sooner. Thanks for the well wishes. Tomorrow we go in for another check up, but Oz seems to still doing good. He pees more often, but that's the worst of it so far.
How's your three doing? Love your three too. :)
Welp Oz is remaining status quo on the treatment, so all's still well. Although he gained another 3 lbs. That's 11 lbs in about 3 mos. Due to the steroids, because he's not eating more then usual. At this rate, he's going to catch up with Gull, before the treatment's over.
When the Vet tech first weighed him, he didn't have his back feet on the scale. So she accused him of trying to cheat. He looked a lil' chagrined, but after he weighed in at 83lbs, she was telling him, "see, you didn't need to cheat". He looked happy again, so I didn't have the heart to tell him, he was in fact overweight. Ah well on him it looks good. :)
Yay Oz! I'm sooo glad you're feeling better. :) What a sweet boy... he deserves to meet n greet as much as his heart desires.
Is Oz really gaining weight from the steroids or from all of the yummy treats you're giving him, be honest? haha. The weight is a good thing, I think. If he isn't feeling well, it won't be a biggie if he loses a couple of pounds, which it would if he was lean.
Hiya bckrazy! Well I can't swear to it :), but I'm pretty sure I'm not feeding anymore treats. He just seems to be ravenously hungry since he started on the steroids. Thought he and Gull were gonna have a dog fight over a plastic TV food tray the other day, just cuz it smelled like gravy. There wasn't a drop left on it. That's all very unlike Oz. So I'm going with the steroid excuse for now. :)
Went to the vet last Friday and everything was still status quo and he finally maintained his weight without gaining anymore. 3 more treatments and we're done. Yeah!
Saw the most gorgeous Rough Collie in the waiting room. I think he and Oz recognized they were Collie cousins, cuz it was love at first sight. Wish I had a camera to video tape the Rough bouncing up and down with his front paws like a horse cuz he wanted to play so badly with Oz.
Tell Oz that steroids sometimes do that. The few times I have been on prednisone I feel hungry enough to eat the whole world ... even if I have just eaten! Glad he's doing well, though!
I hope Oz continues to do well. Give him some lovin from me.
oh wow I haven't visited this thread in awhile. Everything was going good with Oz until yesterday. I noticed that his lymph-nodes felt swollen under his neck again and his barking was really horse this morning. I have an appointment for this Friday at the vet. Thanks again for all the well wishes and prayers for him. Hopefully this won't be as bad as I think.
I was hoping you were posting with some good news on Oz. It's been
a awhile since we heard about your boy. I hope Friday's appt. goes well
for Oz.:) Let us know when you can.
We'll be keeping our paws crossed for Oz.
Thanks ya'll! I'll post tomorrow about what the doctor says.
I too have not been on PT as much as I would like, so imagine my SHOCK when I caught up with this thread.
Hugs and kisses to Oz ........... I hope the medicine take care of him for a lot longer :)
Saw the vet this morning. News is very bad. Oz has only 2 wks - 5 mos to live. Didn't want to leave everybody hanging, but probably won't be back to talk about this right away.
I'm so sorry to hear this.
They are so gorgeous!
((hugs))
I am so deeply saddened by this news. My heart aches for you. {{{HUGS}}}

This hits too close to home for me. I hope you and Oz are enjoying the time together, no matter its lenght.
Par, you give that boy of yours a good hug from me, okay? Every day is now to be treasured, and I hope all his days are good for as long as he is with you. Praying for Oz to prove them wrong, and for comfort for him in any case.Quote:
