New drug to replace the Cyclophosphamide

Went into the vet to pick up some more of the Amitriptyline (tri-cyclic). The blood test results have come back and show that his white cell count is fine, so Fiona has given me some Leukeran (Chlorambucil). This comes with a label that says we should wear gloves when handling it (the link explains that this is to do with potential harm to foetuses), and it should be kept in the fridge.

The dosage is 2 tablets every other day, so we started this evening, and he should get it on odd-numbered days during February and March (until and unless I get new instructions from the vet).
