So back in January I posted asking for help with getting my Siberian Husky, Sasha to eat. If you don't know, in the middle of January she was diagnosed with cancer, the vet believed the most likely to be bone cancer.
So lets start with the bad news and get it over with. She is either completely or mostly blind in her left eye. Her eye began to swell a few weeks ago and the vet put her on medication and eye drops. The swelling is gone. The blindness doesn't seem to bother her, she runs into things sometimes, but besides that she is just the same as before.
Now for the good news, while she was at the vet (beginning of April) he took an x-ray of her lungs and the cancer has not spread there at all. And she has gained two pounds (which is something to get excited about considering her condition).
Feeding wise, I give her two chicken breasts in the morning (eats it right up). And on average she eats 1/2 a can of wet dog food in the afternoon. And at night she eats 2-3 cups of puppy food. << No wonder she gained two pounds.
Behavior wise, she is still acting like herself but she does lay down more often than she used to.
Pain wise, sometimes she needs her pain meds and sometimes not. She isn't on any strong pain meds at the moment. Although I may pick up a stronger one next time she sees the vet (May 10th) just so I can have it on hand.
She is going to see the vet on May 10th so they can look into her eye and see what caused it to go blind and swell. They had to get the swelling down in order to look.
Given the circumstances, I think things are going pretty well.
Oh and here is the last picture I have of her. This was taken before her left eye went blind.
