TJ is definitely better today than yesterday. It seems as if the lymph nodes are reducing in size, which is a relief. He still shakes his head, and there was a lot of gook in his left ear this morning for the first time, which is good -- at least it's working its way out. He's still not drinking much and has a hard time eating because he doesn't have much saliva. When he chews up solid dog food it becomes a thick paste in his mouth, sticks to the roof of his mouth, and then ends up all over the floor. I gave him about 1/2 cup of frozen green beans this morning, then made him a smoothie out of his dog food, all of his meds, and a good amount of water. He ate the whole thing. I guess that's one way to get some liquid into him! Dave fed him outside so we could just hose down the mess.
It's going to be close to 100 degrees today, and they say the heat makes the yeast worse. But it was pretty hot yesterday, too.
