Copper's Last Chemo visit Made Him Ill

The vet planned for it and provided me drugs for it, and it happened. The last chemo drug (Adriamycin) made Copper very ill. He started to feel bad on Thursday, September 21st, and by Friday morning he wasn't eating anything and was very lethargic. He spent Friday and Saturday hiding in a quiet place and would not eat anything. By Saturday evening, I was able to get him to eat boiled chicken and he ate small meals of boiled chicken on Sunday and Monday. By the end of Monday, he was feeling his old self again. I'm glad that the vet gave me the meds to help him through this, but it came on a day earlier than the vet had predicted, so he became ill before I could give him the pills. So it took a little while longer for him to get better. He now feels his old self and I'm trying to put the weight he lost over that weekend back on him.
