Second Neoplasene Infusion

Clancey had his second nasal infusion today. We decided to do the same thing we did the last time only use a little bit stronger mix of the solution to saline. Last night when I was petting Clancey I noticed a lump under his jaw, it felt like a swollen lymph node and is on the same side as the tumor in his nose. She said it could be a tumor or it could just be a swollen lymph node, there really wasn't any way to tell exactly what was going on without doing a biopsy. She measured it and we will continue to keep an eye on it for now. I got more antibiotics for him as he seems to have another infection starting up. She told me that this is normal with large tumors as there is no blood flow in the middle of the tumor and infections form there....who knew?

I left Clancey with them this morning rather than waiting for him, needed to go to work so I could continue to pay for his care :)

The veterinarian had good news for me when I arrived to pick him up. She was able to get her scope up into his nose much further this time and actually see the tumor. In her opinion, it had definitely shrunk some from what she had seen in the CT Scan. She was able to apply the neoplasene directly to the tumor (she scrapped it first in order for the neoplasene to be better absorbed).

Since we seem to be getting some results, we are going to just continue what we are doing with the oral neoplasene twice a day, the supplements and the acupuncture. I am going to call her in a couple weeks with an update and we will talk about doing another infusion at that time.

When we got home for the vets office, I took Clancey for a walk, he was one tired boy. I was afraid I was going to have carry him home but he made it and crashed on his bed after eating. It was a big day for Clancey.
