Thank you so much.
I was doing the 2nd guessing for a day or two but realize that I tried to give him more happy years but it just wasn't in the heavens plans. So I appreciate that words to "take it easy" on myself.
Thank you, yes you are so right, the end is a beginning. The Vet said the same, could have been a few things.
I will go with the "Eternal Relief", he is now with his long time mate, Opie, of 10 years. Thank you again.
Awwee...THANK You everyone for the kind words. Yes it truly sucks but as stated, it really isn't our decision, and I am glad I made the decision to try to help Aussie as the mass was growing quickly and it would have become uncomfortable at some point and then I would be "forced" into a...
Tahnk you for the thoughts Traci.. The surgery was on Thursday. The vet said it was pretty messy inside, she was able to get most of the mass but not all. She thought they had lost him during the surgery as they could not find a heart beat or respiration, however, as she continued to remove the...
So I took Aussie to the vet today, he gained weight, the mass has grown also. It is now or never time since the mass is only getting bigger and she has to out out the skin involved and there is not going to be enough skin to close back together if it gets any bigger. As it is she is going to...
Yes he is still active, eating very well and seems happy. I guess I will have a more informed decision when he goes back next Thursday to see if he put on enough weight and the vet feels he is a surgical candidate.
Ok, Vet just called after she drew some fluid (Mucus) from the mass earlier to test. It has some Red Blood Cells, White blood cell and some mucus but it also has some muscle tissue which she feels is suspicious for cancer cells. She thinks it more of a tumor than an abscess. Either way, it has...
Hello,Yes, he is still strong and doing well other than that mass now. Eating very well. Thank you, I will definitely keep this updated, after the vet visit tomorrow.
It's odd, because I had not handled him for a couple of weeks. Took him outside for a few hours and when I picked him up to take him in is when I noticed it. I thought maybe something bit him But I didn't see any bite mark. And i CANNOT say for certain that it wasn't there when I took him out...
Thank you. I am also. It's not hard, it's mushy, almost like fluid. I have an appt. tomorrow at 430p with a vet. I hope it's something simple. He is 12 years old but going strong.
Yes, I am thinking I may go that route. Thank you very much. I am glad also. I had a smile ear to ear when I saw my neighbor walking up my driveway with him in his hand.
UPDATE... :blob5: My Guy has been found. My neighbor had been on the look out. Saw my neighbor an hour ago and reminded him that my Beardie was missing. I just got home after about 30 min trip to the store and when I got home my neighbor walked up with my Guy in his hand. Found him in the grass...
