Blood test OK, so Vincristine again

Jazz went in for his Vincristine injection and drip today, and Fiona has also agreed that we can try having him on a drip at home tomorrow, as he's such a good patient, and at least that means that he's spending another day less of his life at the vet. If there's a problem with the canula and I have to take him back in, then we haven't really lost anything anyway. We've got another week booked off work this week to get some work done on the new house, so will be able to find out whether this is a viable option longer term.

So, she's left the canula in his leg, and added anti-coagulent to stop it clogging up overnight, and I have been taught how to connect up and adjust the drip, and how to add drugs (tagamet and metoclopramide) to the drip etc., so we'll see how it goes tomorrow.
