What is with all them "P"s?
Well before we get to that, a quick update on the chemo. The first couple of days are over and so far so good. Annie hasn't felt nauseas; the Kytril and the Maxeran seem to be doing their job. She is just really sleepy. This could also be due to our dogs.
This brings us to our first "P":
Today, the nurses deemed Annie's veins too small for repeated pokes so they opted to insert a picc line for quick and easy blood withdrawal and chemo administration. She now has a semi-permanent i.v. on her right arm. Annie has has one before so knew what to expect. It isn't the most comfortable thing but she sure looks tough.
And what about the other "P"? Well Pleurodesis is what Annie is going into hospital (for the next 4 days) to have done. As you know, Annie has had problems breathing due to a build up of fluids in her lungs. The doctors drained the fluid out last week but it has returned before the chemo really has had a chance to do it's work. We're all positive that the chemo, once it has kicked in, alongside the pleurodesis will clear up Annie's lungs and make it easier for the both of us to chase Turbo after he has peed on the floor.
Does anyone want a puppy with a peeing problem and a bad attitude?

Since we are on the subject of learning 'P' words...here are some more!
Perhaps Peeing Problem Puppy Prefers Puppy Pee Pads?
