So she's down again - to 48.6, and looking at her muzzle / mouth where it's getting bad, the inside of her mouth is at a 7 out of 10, and her nose is at 4 / 10. So we're going to see a lot more muzzle skin flush off in the near future. They gave us some cream but we can't put it on her before the radiation, so just at night. There's also a victorian collar involved, and it's stressing her out. My poor baby.

Poor Honey indeed!
Jordan got a mouth sore the days after her last treatment, but she only has one - we can only imagine what H is going through.
No my turn for the warning, if you're a non-cancer dog owner you should stop reading this comment now...
Jordan's diaper needs were also new to us since starting radiation treatment, but ours is of a different nature. Think really bad upset tummy going out of control on a sleeping dog. Let's just say it wasn't fun.
But regardless of the problem at hand diapers can totally be a solution for you as well. We got regular person diapers because she doesn't have a tail so they work fine. Should work for Honey too, you'll have to do some guess work for the sizing.
They also make cloth dog diapers with inserts or something, but in our case it is (hopefully) only a temporary thing so disposable works great. She will try to wiggle out of them during the day, but at night she does well keeping them on. I thought about crafting suspenders out of garter belts and attaching them to her harness... but that seems like overkill.
Oh, and we put them on her backwards, it just seemed to fit her better, but Honey is a bit bigger so I don't know how the larger diapers fit.
Anyways. I don't know if that was too much information - but we hope your bed wetting nights end soon!
