I had put a call into the vet yesterday morning to renew his prescriptions and speak to the dr. but didn't hear back until this morning. Above Jake's nose, the fur was getting darker and I wasn't sure if I should be concerned. The dr. didn't know what could be causing it, but didn't seem worried. He told me that Jake should be on 10mg of prednisone for no more than 4-6 weeks and then it should be cut in half. Today is just over 6 weeks, so starting tonight he gets 5mg/day.
This morning, he let me massage him for a few minutes, and then gave me kisses. I know he is feeling better. The dr. said the cancer could be going into remission. I'll never know officially, since they would need another biopsy to determine, and that isn't going to happen. The dr. said a few times that I might have a few years with him, which was music to my ears!
