I'd done some additional reading about the chemo drugs Ozzie was taking in Dr. Ogilvie's Wisconsin Protocol and found information at the Bath-Brunswick Veterinary Associates cancer library that says the following:

"The anti-cancer drugs are excreted from the animal's body via urine and feces. This usually happens in the 48 hours following treatment, but can be as long as 5 days for Adriamycin¨. If it is possible, you should try to have the animal eliminate in an area away from the immediate yard or play area. Cat boxes should be changed regularly, and waste material handled with a scoop. If urine or feces must be handled, use heavy rubber or latex gloves and disposable wipes/towels. Place all waste/towels in a plastic bag and seal it, before disposal. Smooth surfaces may be washed with a dilute bleach solution (1/4 c. to 1 gallon of water). Humans and other household pets living with treated pets are generally thought not to be at any health risk, just as in the case with humans. Pregnant women should not handle ANY animal waste or anti-cancer medications. If any family member living with the pet has a condition that would suppress his/her immune system, it would be prudent to let the veterinarian know."

With that information, I now hose down the areas Ozzie pees in the backyard for the two days (starting Friday evening and through Sunday evening) following chemotherapy. We also have two cats who roam in the backyard, so I wanted to keep them safe if they walked where Ozzie urinated; I also pick up his feces regularly. On a humorous note, Ozzie would go back to where he thought he had peed, but it didn't smell anymore, so he would often have a quizzical look on his face, "Didn't I just pee right here?"

Our lives (peoples' and pets') are by the third week in a regular routine; Ozzie gets his morning prednisone disguised in cheese (again, no more bread, we're limiting carbs) along with a 1000mg fish oil capsule. Each of his four meals a day has a quarter of a can of the Prescription Diet n/d canine along with some dry dog food (of a good quality that has lots of protein). Ozzie gets a teaspoon of Lixotinic vitamin/mineral supplement with his first and last meals of the day. In the evening he gets another 1000mg fish oil capsule (which he just eats, it doesn't need to be disguised).

And as expected, Ozzie's eyesight is now back to normal, though we did refill the eye drops (Pred Acetate 1%) that the animal ophthalmologist at the Animal Eye Clinic prescribed; Ozzie's eyes are still a little cloudy, so we'll put in one more bottle of drops. And let me add how easily Ozzie learned the words "eye drops." The drops go in each eye four times a day; I just need to say, "Eye drops," and Ozzie lies down, turns to one side, I put a drop into the eye on that side, he then rolls over to his other side, and he waits for the second drop to go in. What a dog!
