Ramsey's Chemo Adventure

Tuesday afternoon Ramsey was started on chemotherapy. Although none of his tests have been conclusive all signs point to Lymphoma. Without treatment there is no hope, so we have to do something.  Tuesday seemed to be a great day for Ramsey. He was able to get out of his cage and walk to his room and get into bed.  Wednesday and today have not been good for Ramsey.  He's a bit down in spirits but that's to be expected from chemotherapy. He has an upper respiratory infection as well so he can't smell his food so he doesn't want to eat. He continues to collect more fluid on his abdomen, so hopefully the chemo will take affect soon and cut down on the amount of fluid collecting. 
Although he may be feeling the effects of chemo, we aren't giving up the fight. He continues to purr and tick his tail. Hopefully in a few days we can get the congestion under control and he can eat on his own again.  His next scheduled chemo treatment is Tuesday. Stay tuned for further updates.
