More Dakota Stuff
16 years ago
Dakota is doing OK. He had his last radiation therapy on Wednesday, which is good on everyone - no more getting up at 4AM for us, no more staying with the neglectful incompetents at the emergency vet for him. His tumor has stayed away, so far, but unfortunately since radiation therapy uses...radiation, the rest of his mouth is covered in radiation burns. Which no doubt hurt a lot. His lip is swollen and scabbed and occasionally bleeds so he's been reluctant to open his mouth to eat and such. Fortunately this time its a side effect from treatment and -will- go away whereas before it was from that massive, throat-eclipsing tumor.
He's also been oozing a green mucus that I half-jokingly refer to as radioactive goo. It doesn't appear to hurt him much, its just gross.
I know he's supposed to have a check-up X-ray in a few weeks, which I'm dubious of. The vet is a little shady and over the course of the month and so he had his therapy they kept randomly tacking on charges or insisting on tests that were hard enough for them to justify. I just don't know :\
So yeah, Dakota is doing pretty well so far, just recuperating from the radiation.
