This dog eats muffins …

… and eggs!
Yeesh. It has been 4 days since the last Palladia dose. And Vodka’s appetite is nowhere close to normal. As of yesterday, he was still poopy (in terms of quality, not frequency :)) and a bit nauseous. And he seems to have a mental block about eating most meats!!! Not interested in turkey anymore - the turkey love lasted about 4 days. Still no chicken unless the cute ladies at Eastside Dog give him some treats. Beef isn’t big on the list either. Neither are those fancy canned dinners. Or the once-loved peas and sweet potatoes! His current love - eggs. He’ll probably eat a whole dozen scrambled! And he wants baked goods. Yes, the pooch has decided to go high maintenance on me!
A couple of days ago, I baked spelt muffins with organic baby food (beef vegetable pilaf) and eggs. He wolfed down six of those in no time at all! And now I’m wading through my Tassajara bread book trying to come up with gluten-free and meat-filled versions of their breads - that’s going to be interesting! Maybe it is time to start a doggie food blog!
Beef'n'Spelt Muffins, anyone?
The pickiness continues. And I’m thinking we should hold off on Palladia till his belly is back to 100 % - atleast till Vodka wants to eat all his meals, even if he doesn’t quite want to climb on counters looking for more food!

Good Afternoon,
My boxer Bismark was also just recently started on Palladia for recurrent mast cell tumor. He went through Vinblastine and Prednisone, amputation of front leg, CCNU and now Palladia. We are having the same loss of appetite expereince I read in your recent blog. We have tried cooking up everything we can thing of, one day it works, the next not. He is recieving care at Univeristy of Wisconsin Madison. The doctor’s prescribed Reglan yesterday to try to stimulate appetite, not sure it is working yet. Have you had luck with any other appetite stimulants?

Hey Lisa!
Sorry to hear about Bismark’s diagnosis. Like I mentioned in the latest post, we restarted Palladia last evening and are giving Reglan along with it to counter the anti-nausea and inappetance. Vodka had an AM meal but is still pretty picky. Does Bismark like eggs? They’re super nutritious - you can scramble them or even just crack a raw egg over food to see if that entices him.
Good luck with the treatment, please don’t hesitate to email if you want to discuss anything.
