Bully for Burke!

Burke had a tough night last night.  He got up twice and was sick to his stomach. His energy is very low. Fortunately, he still has an appetite. 

We started off today with the anti-nausea medication. Afterwards I gave him some rice mixed with boiled chicken and organic chicken broth which he thoroughly enjoyed (while his buddy Fez the cat looked on with jealousy). 

The extreme lethargy has returned. Both Paul and I are feeling very low with Burke feeling so poorly. His energy had returned to him from the prednisone and now we are back to worse than where we started. I hope we are doing the right thing. We will take it a day at a time. Tomorrow I go back to the cancer clinic for his second antibody therapy. I will discuss Burke's nausea with the doctor at that time. Maybe the dose I gave him this morning will help him.

Bully for Burke!

update from this morning...

Burke woke up from his morning nap and I offered him a bully stick.  Typical for Burke, he promptly took it outside, buried it my garden and then came back inside the house. Less than 5 minutes later he was whining at the door.  Out he went, dug up his bully stick, chomped away on it for a bit, and re-buried it.  So, I guess he's feeling better after his nap.  No nausea either.  Fingers are crossed.

Flowers Burked "picked" for me.

Other than Burke's short rally with the Bully stick this morning, he has been very lethargic all day.  I have been feeding him small meals every two hours and he has not gotten sick. I am thankful that the anti-nausea medication seems to be working.
