Mozart likes to shake his butt like Ricky Martin! He puts his front paws on the arm of the couch, sticks his tongue out and proceeds to shake his butt while snorting like a pig. When I walk Mozart, he has to smell everything but he snorts while he does it. All my friends and the nurses at the vet call him Snoorty. And he snores SO loud!!

UPDATE February 17, 2012

Mozart had his treatment of Doxorubicin on Tuesday February the 14th. The nurse said the looks great and has more energy from him then she has seen for a while.  But today (Thursday the 16th) he hadn't eaten the day before and  wouldn't eat his favorite treat and seemed lethargic so he had me worried. I checked his temperature and it was good so I checked for signs of dehydration and it seemed that the was a little dehydrated and he had some diarrhea so I gave him a pepcid and after and hour he eat some fresh boiled chicken and seems to be back in his old ways playing rope.

Most Sincerely,

Mozart's Mommy- Katie 

UPDATE February 7, 2012

Mozart's doctor appointment went great . We were concerned that maybe running a fever past couple of days because he felt a little warm. He got his temperature taken it was fine his blood count were fine and he got his cytoxan  today. I took this video of him today at the doctors office this is what he does every time he goes in . This is why he got the nickname snorty snort snort by his nurses. 

Most Sincerely,

Mozart's Mommy- Katie

Mozart had another check-up today at the vet. Dr. Kramer said he is doing "awesome", his counts are staying high, and he received his next dose of chemo. The nurses have officially nick named him "Snorty Snort-Snort"! Here is a pic of him waiting at the vet today. =) Most Sincerely, Mozart's Mommy- Katie

UPDATE January 16, 2012

Mozart had his Chemotherapy today. He couldn't get it last week because his blood cell count was too low. His counts are back up now and they have him back on track with the chemo. So far so good! Dr. Kramer said he looks great and doing well. The nurse said he layed still while he got his I.V drip and kept kissing her ( once in the mouth ) LOL and snorted at her every time she touched him. Thank-you for reading!
