The new and improved monthly update style continues for the month of February. Ok yes I know it’s March already but I had a February update ready to go for a while now. It was just in my head instead of on the blog. I’m always told it’s the thought that counts. Anyway Feb was …

Doing my level best to try and keep this blog more of a monthly and less of a quarterly edition thing this year. Hence I am getting this post in BEFORE work takes over my life once again. So trialling successes of late...we’ve only had two trials back this year so far and I am …
Hmmm. September 21st was the last update. That’s over three months ago now. There’s an awful lot of news to update on. My brain hurts just thinking about it all. I’d love to just give a dot point list but I just know that my particular brand of OCD runs to actually writing way more …

Been a while since I’ve updated and I have a fair bit to blather on about so feel free to skim and scan as they say. So the Fundraising trial hosted by Eden Hills Dog Club actually managed to raise over $600 for Dr Ken Wyatt and Murdoch Veterinary Oncology Research. Plus they gave me …
This was one happy Raven owner yesterday afternoon when I took Raven for her second blood test after the marrow transfer on the 5th of this month. Last week there wasn’t any movement in her white blood cell count and that was to be expected. This week Ken anticipated that the marrow should have kicked …
So it has now been ten days since the marrow transfer. We haven’t been incident free unfortunately but by the same token the incidents have all been manageable.Raven is doing ok. Today has been an off day for her. It’s odd she kept her dinner down all night and then for some reason the food …
Autologous meaning that the marrow is provided by the patient not a close relative. These are the only BMT’s that Murdoch Vet Oncology do so there was no debate really about which approach to take. Stage 1 Tuesday May the 27th. Raven goes in for what Dr Ken Wyatt described as the biggest stage for …

Wow. You know it’s been a long time between updates when you have to check back on your blog to remember what you last wrote about. Things have been busy I must admit. So trialling update first: Saturday April 27th was the Southern River Dog Club Trial – Spryte did three cracking good runs, going …
