Update on Jessee

Well it’s been a couple of busy weeks.  Jessee continues to do really well.  She had her second chemo treatment this past Sunday January  .  She seems to be handling the chemo ok so far.  A very small reaction on Sunday night, panting but that only lasted about 45 minutes then all good.  She is now on an oncology nutrition recommended diet.  Takes alot of time to prepare ahead but she is worth it and she loves it.  She is continuing with her 5 mushroom supplement and after a recent consult with a CBD certified vet ech she has started on a product called ellevet.  Combination of cbd and glucosamine.  Her rehabilitation vet has her swimming in a beach entry pool and she did really well but she was exhausted for a day and a half.  Yesterday she was fitted with a orthopedic device to assist her right front remaining leg.  Hope is to get her better traction, protect the leg and help with rear hamstrings.  She is getting used to it today.  She is now my bionic tripawd diva.  The first picture is her new orthopedic device.  The second is Jessee with her rehab vet Dr. Finn in the pool.  The last picture is Jessee sitting in her favorite chair watching the world go by and barking at everything.

Jessee is just adapting so well and doing excellent.  Our oncologist said she is cautiously optimistic.  I’m a realist but what I do know is that Jessee has a very good quality of life.  She is doing everything she was doing prior to the amputation.  Her appetitie is good and she really loves the diet the nutritionist recommended for us.  There are some supplements if anyone is interested in knowing more about it just let me know.   In the meantime we are getting ready to take our first airstream trip of the year with both danes and looking forward to a beach getaway.  Safe distancing of course

One thought on “Update on Jessee”

  1. Jessee just makes my heart so hoppy! She really is a Super Dog! How wonderful that she is sailing through chemo.

    Thanks for sharing the big picture overview on what she’s getting as far as treatment and care. I can tell that you are working with GREAT vets. For starters, the nutrition plan that was prescribed….can you tell us more about that? Maybe a whole separate blog post just about the diet?

    As for the consult with the vet tech: yay! I love that you worked with a professional to come up with a good CBD plan. Not enough people do, and they end up wasting their money on garbage “CBD” products. ElleVet is the BEST! Did you know we have some podcasts with ElleVet’s Director of Education? Here’s one:

    And the orthopedic device is such a great idea. Can we see some pics with her wearing and moving with it? Who made the device? That’s a whole other blog post!

    We are very interested in hearing more about all of this! You are doing such a great job, keep it up!
