During this week I noticed she was moving really slow and some lumps under her stomach yesterday. I took her to the vet today and he's saying it's one of two things. It's either a big infection or a type of cancer. I'm really worried about her and hate seeing her this way. I've had her since I was in 1st Grade and she comes with me everywhere. They took blood and the Dr said he'll get with me first thing in the morning and also gave me some meds for her.

I'm really hoping for some good news.

Taken yesterday in the garage.

 

good luck man, but you MAY want to cut the Miller Lite out of her diet...

i have 2 pups of my own that i consider kids so i know how you feel...hope everything is going to be ok.

 

She is a pretty dog! I really hope the meds help and you get only good news from the doc.

 

i feel your pain man, our german shepherd has been around since i was real young (im 17, hes 13) and hes had real bad hip problems which is common with GSDs but he wont go on hardwood so he stays in the family room all day and lately hes been going to the bathroom on the carpets and my parents are going to put him down soon

 

my dog had a lump on her shoulder. doc thought it was just a cyst and it ruptured a few times. she started moving slow and not acting normal when that thing got bad. vet said the surgery might kill her and the cyst should go away on its own. it got worse so the vet went in and scooped everything out. from what i hear it was a real bad infection (that is what a cyst is) and her old body (12 yrs old) was using all of its energy trying to fight it. shes doing good now that the lump has been removed.

best of luck to you and your dog.

 

Thanks guys. I think those meds are helping her. She seems more peppy, and happy. I think she's stoned or something.

 

Thats good lets hope she makes a good recovery! We have 10 dogs by the way a rottie, a sharpei, and eight pugs so we know what its like!

 

Just got a call from the vet. He said her blood work came back normal so nothing really stands out. He wants to wait till the end of the week to see her again to see how the meds worked. This will be a long week

 

Long week it may be but at least the blood work did not show anything, surely thats cause for optimism?

 

The same thing happens to me when im stoned, I move real slow. Ask her if she thinks time is going by really fast but its not..?

She may have just got ahold of some brownies.

 

hey man i hope everything with your dog turns out well.i have a miniature dachshund and that little dog is like my child.i dont have kids so.she has a heart mur-mur and when they told me that it killed me.now she has some meds she has to take for the rest of her life.the medicine does make her stoned.some pet meds do that.and i have to keep her from getting too excitied and it sux.i just want my dog to have a happy life.i can tell when the meds kick in she will just sit on the sofa and not even move and she will do that for a few hours.but i love that little bundle of joy.most people would have given up already.i was told her life span will be shorter than normal but not drastically and the best i can hope for is for the mur-mur to not get worse.so far so good.i just wanted to share my story i am glad to see other animal lovers on this site.thanks.

 

my dog has had a lump on her ribs under her for a couple years now. She's coming up on 14 years old this october

shes a terrier mix

 

Hope she continues to improve. Hang in there. I know exactly how you feel

 

Hope everything turns out fine. Just had to put down a dog of ours a week and a half ago, hope you meet a different ending!!

Plus, dogs are so resilient, be back to normal in no time!

 

Well I just got back from the vet. They did an xray and said it was normal. The swelling in her legs gone, but she still has the masses on her belly that they are 95% sure its mamory cancer. She goes in for surgery tomorrow morning and they said I should get her back by the end of the day.
