BamBam

Wow...that really seemed like it came out of nowhere. Two weeks ago, we would have sworn that Bam was in the prime of his life. Then he spent one day vomiting with a slight fever, and the next week with moderate diarrhea. It was only when his weight loss became apparent that we visited the vet (today) and the rest was like a whirlwind. Still doesn't feel real.

So he's currently taking flagyl, cerenia, and diarsanyl. The next move is up to us. Our vet says that a full regimen of chemo will buy him up to 2 years...the problem is, there's no way bam bam will keep cool for a session of chemo without being sedated, and I can't do that to him on a weekly basis. The alternative seems to be prednisone and cyclophosphomide, which we're told could result in a 6 months remission, tops.

We really have so many questions, from when to know enough is enough, to how much we can expect to pay (because, unfortunately, we are of limited means). But I guess the most pressing question is--what do we do first?
