Blood test for this week's chemo, but no response from Prof Holt

Took Jazz in for his 3-weekly blood test, prior to this week's chemo.

Fiona still hasn't had any response from Prof Peter Holt, so will chase him again, or see if she can find somebody else to ask about Jazz.

She didn't have any particular comment on the fact that he's had a touch of the runs over the past few days, so we'll see how he goes. His bladder seems to be much the same as ever.

Fiona did come across a bladder muscle relaxant drug at the conference, which might help him to fill his bladder up before needing to empty it, but she's not sure if it's available over here, as the speaker was American. Also, we'd still need to address the problem of him leaking without being aware of it.

Meanwhile, we've given up on the bitter spray, which didn't work, and tried putting him in a muzzle overnight (on the grounds that it's less restrictive in the crate than a "lampshade" collar). I was quite surprised that he's taken to that OK.

His next vincristine injection will be done on Thursday, assuming the blood test looks OK (Fiona's in Twyford on Thursday this week, and as he's so easy, is happy to do it there).

His weight today was back down to 22.55kg
