朝から行き着けの獣医さんに再び診てもらう。新たにリンパ腺の腫れが足に発見される。
先週専門医から処方してもらったプレドニゾン(Prednisone)の服用量のこの獣医さんに相談。本当に親身になってくれる先生。クロちゃんもかなりお気に入りの様子。服用量を10mgから20mgに増やし、足のリンパ腺の腫れを観察する事に決まった。むこう2週間、腫れが引いてるか、水の摂取量と排尿の量が減ってるかもモニタリングする。
土曜はごちそうの日。手作りドッグフード(牛ひき肉、玄米、にんじん、もやし、ヨーグルト)を作り与えた。ご満悦な2匹。
今晩もまた4時間おきのおトイレ作戦。どうかカーペットにだけは漏らさないでね。
We took Kuro to the Vet. His new swollen lymph node was found on his leg. I don’t know where it is.
His medication is now double dose to see if his urinary incontinence can be improved in next two weeks. We still have to take him out every 3-4 hours depending on his condition. He made one mistake this evening around 5 while I was occupied with cooking dinner. I felt very bad but he did not look much guilty since he released himself on the door mat, which I made it more durable against urine with extra rugs.
Saturday is a big feast day for Kuro and Hachi. I made a homemade dog food cooking ground beef (80% lean ground chuck), brown rice, carrot, bean sprouts and yogurt. They look very happy.
