How's Issey's eye now Michelle?  :Luv: :hug:

Its still slightly strange but to be honest the trip to the vets would stress her so much that I'm going to leave it for now.
I have to pop in there in the week for another steroid injection so will mention it to the vet though.

You know what though, My Baby has had 3 extra weeks so far  :Luv2: and although she is slow and alittle weak she is enjoying her life.

.....And that's what we call "quality"  ;) :hug:

Yep, I would not be too bothered about "slightly strange" when it came to upsetting her over a vet trip.... Glad she is doing well!  :hug:

How is Issey doing Michelle I do think of her every day  :hug:

Awww thank you Jane, You really dont know how much that means to me  :hug:

She's doing ok, the steroids are keeping her going.
She is eating well but not putting any weight on sadly....she's a little bag on bones  :( but she seems happy enough.
Just alittle worried about this eye

 :hug: that's good, when it's a lovely day and Pep is out in the garden I always wonder whether Issey is out enjoying the sun too  :Luv:  Glad that she still has an appetite even if she is thin I think it is a good sign.   I'm not sure about her eye either, hope that it is something minor  :hug:

Sorry CC didnt see your question
she has 0.3 of Dexafort (injection).....it works out she needs them every 4 days


I have noticed there seems to be a problem with her right eye....not really sure what though, it just seems smaller and not quite right.

I so wish we had started these earlier.....say like when we stopped the first lot of chemo
because all her lumps have gone (due to the steroid injections) but sadly the cancer is in major organs
but maybe we could have stopped that ?!

God bless steroid injection's :Luv:
She had picked up by last night, eating again and happier....

My vet gave Me a spare injection so going t give her that in 4 days.
What I need to do is keep her topped up with the steroid and not let it get out of her systum (sp)

Hoping that this longer acting one works Michelle, we got some confusion over how long Schui's were for at one point plus we saw a different vet at the practise as our usual one was off! it's always good to double check because it can be a worry when they soon go off again  :hug:
