It’s time for an update on Sasha. She had the third of her four cancer treatments today, and so far she’s doing really well. It’s not a shot; rather, it’s administered with some device that uses a burst of air to shoot the medicine through her skin. There aren’t any side effects, but the second one somehow burst a capillary in her leg and caused it to be very sore (she didn’t even want to walk on it), but a steroid shot took care of that. The vet says her lymph nodes are still down, which is very good. Sasha is only the fourth dog at the clinic (and I think in the state) to have this treatment, and she is by far the case that was caught the earliest, so they are very optimistic and excited for her to be receiving this treatment. Here she is with Dr. Sonya Lavergne at Hillcrest Animal Hospital:

Get well, Sasha!
