I just don't know what to say! Max (and our kidney failure cat) are both on hunger strikes tonight. Max will only eat curried chicken and he goes NUTS for it! I'm not sure how good it is, since I didn't make it.. I know the chicken is good for him and the tumeric is good for him but not so sure about the mayo or curry... Who's ever heard of a dog who loves curried chicken?!
Today is the first day since Cyberknife that we started to wean Max off the prednisone. He is now down to 10mg a day. When he went into the hospital he was on 40mg / day. It's all very amazing! Of course he spent the whole day sleeping, much more than he normally has been. He's been dreaming quite a bit too today, lots of chasing things, and barking in his sleep.
He got up a few times today to go potty and see how his new fenced in yard was coming along. He even walked all the way across the front yard and around the corner of the house - he didn't follow me in the woods though, thought it might be best to lay down in the dirt and just watch.. not really up for any adventures. That's the furthest he's wandered around the house in a while. He's bored I can tell, but hasn't really wanted to go anywhere either. Energy is still low which we expected.. yet he can run through the house and check every room looking for me pretty quickly if he wants to and he'll still jump up and bark with the rest of the animals. He has a little skip in his step and he tried to hop up over the stairs this am too. He did manage to hop OVER buster earlier today as well.
