So I took Sydney to her first chemo administration today. I dropped her off at 8:30 am and the vet's called me at 11:30 am so she could go home. Last night Sydney managed to pull out one of her stiches and she started leaking mucous out of the top of her nose. The vet said that this was actually not a bad thing because it let out some of the drainage and pressure - and suprisingly, I could tell that she felt better last night. So I went and picked her up and she was near panicing. She kept banging her face into the carrier and trying to escape. It was so hard for me to watch. The vet said because of the chemo that she is to stay in the carrier till 3:00 pm. She was so upset. I ended up putting her carrier in my room with all the lights off and my little fountain turned on to try to calm her. I additonally cut up the egg shell matrice on my bed to help as a padding for the front of the carrier. I just hope she is able to calm down. She is miserable and it is absolutely horrible to watch. The only reason I am not totally upset and loosing it is because she has finnally got some treatment. I just wish it didnt make her feel so horrible. Luckily, next week, she doesnt have to go in there for chemo, I just give her a pill. That is much less traumatic for her. I just hope she is able to calm herself down, I worry about her heart. My poor baby.

She should be out of the carrier by now. How is she doing? I'm glad she was able to finally get some treatment!

Oh gosh... I've been out of touch with the computer for about a week, and am so sorry to hear all that you are going through.

I hope Sydney will be feeling less anxious and will relax later on today. I would be so upset seeing that happen as well. The pics of her are just so sweet, and I just hope that things will run smoother for you. The fact that the wrong dosage was ordered and you had to wait longer... ugh.... I would have been flipping out on the vet office I am sure!

I really hope that the weekend goes smoothly and that the chemo will kick in quicker than expected. Poor girl not even being able to eat well. Definitely check on the feeding tube if it's needed, like JenLuckenbach recommended. She's nursed many a sick kitty, and gives great advice.

Big hugs to you and Sydney...

Oh gosh! I am SO sorry that Sydney is this upset. Is she any better now? (more relaxed)

I don't even know what to say. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Oh sweet Sydney, I'm so sorry that it's been so rough on her. I do hope that things have calmed down and she's beginning to heal and improve.
