Shadow is doing fine. The hole is now just a small round scab with a ring of white scar tissue round it. It's about the diameter of a fat pencil, and scabs up easily. Shadow went in for his chemo yesterday, and the vets were really happy with him. His white blood cell count is good, and he's bouncy. The puppy wont leave his tail alone, and they playfight occasionally. Best of all Shadow can now be walked off the lead as his hole has healed so well.
The only thing that is different about Shads now is that he is quite brazen about wanting treats - he waits for a frozen chip when I get anything out of the freezer, and whines at me when I cook the kids their tea and he gets nothing. He has discovered that if he ignores the first treat I hand him, I will drop it on the ground and offer another. As soon as he wolfs down that one he hoovers up the one on the floor. It took me a while to catch on that he had so successfully trained me, but we are re-educating him that he doesn't get treats every five minutes. Now he seems to be bouncing about in rude health, we don't feel nearly so sorry for him.
