Hi, Denise and welcome to the site. There are many of us who chose not to do chemo for various reasons, prefering to try hotistic or simply palliative care....
Thanks for the response, Tia. I guess Harley is okay. Gums looked normal last night after a walk and dinner and snacks later. This morning they are not "bleed...
Today,my Gabby had her staples removed.Also,the vet has gotten results back and confirmed HSA.He said the tumor was not as large as he initially thought...big...
Inge, did your vet indicate whether he felt he got it all? From some of your previous posts, he seems awfully quick to give up on Gabby. Can you get a consult...
I'm sorry to hear about Gabby. My vet too was less than optimistic. Max was diagnosed 1-28-08. We went today for staple removal, but that didn't happen as my...
Inge, do not - I repeat do not - give up on Gabby getting better and being your baby for a long time. I do not understand some vet's opinions - it's like they...
I agree with C.C. So often I have heard that the vet has given no hope. You have a lot going for you. First, the surgery was accomplished. Some people never...
Hi Tia, We'll be visiting my friend and the litter of pups this weekend. They'll be 3 weeks old on Sunday, and all five are now at least 4 pounds or more. This...
Oh, Susan, Please post pictures. I love pictures and puppies. They are a great combo! Rosemary -- Angel Ginger 14 year old yellow lab 3/1/94-1/25/08 dx...
Thanks for all your responds and support. My vet is very,very good and we have been together for many years. He did removed some lumps from Gabby before(no...
Ah, yes! Puppy breath! Your Zeus will be by your side in spirit and his genes reside in those little 4 lb. sweet balls of fur. I'm so glad they have a family...
CC, There are other things you can try with Chica besides Pred. I thought I had to go back to Dexamethasone (very nasty, 40 times stronger than Pred), but I'm...
Arrrgh! There are so many things that I want to say that probably are best left unsaid. I KNOW that there is hope for your babies. And, I KNOW that there are...
We want everyone here to know that we are really feeling the hurt from the past few days, and that Ritz is now resting peacefully in our garden, where she is...
Inge, I don't know what your Vet has done as afr as chemo w/HSA and what results he might have seen. Each dog and each stage of cancer is different. There is...
... I hope there are enough of us here who have beaten the odds the Vets gave us that give newcomers HOPE. My Vet also gave us the 3 to 6 months prognosis....
I, too, love puppies and it's been almost 11 years since I had one. I can't bear to go see them because I want one so badly! Someday! We're in our old dog...
Whaaattt??? How irresponsible for a Vet to predict your dog's future...none of us knows. I understand explaining the big picture of this cancer, but to put...
... As Ilene said, you gradually get used to the 'new normal' in your life. In my case, though, the anxiety I felt was overwhelming at times. I started taking...
Susan, Yes, this a wonderful perspective and it will nice to see his genes that have been passed on to a different generation. Please continue your healing...
I am so sorry for the diagnose. Before Freddy died suddenly of HSA, I had never even heard of the word. Afterwards, I spoke to my Vet and asked her what...
puppy breath + needle teeth = JOY! Ilene and Mali (born 10/16/1997 & dx HSA 12/24/2004) praying for our cats still missing in New Orleans, LA since 8/28/2005...
Hi Inge, I have taken Shata to two holitic vets and had mixed results. My advice is that if you are going to see a holitic vet is make sure to ask if they...
I am so sorry for your sorrow. This is wonderful advise and yes they certainly apply to everyone. I will pray for easier days for you and your family. Keep...
Just a couple of questions. At night,Gabby's breathing is quite shallow and fast. During the day,she does a lot of panting. Otherwise,she seems to be OK....
Kirt, Lisa & Sassy- My pain at Lola's loss is still so palpable. I am sorry I am late in responding, but i just have not been able to be back here, since...
Hi Marty, I'm DYING for a puppy! Probably the only thing holding me back is the certain death I would face from my husband. I have, however, begun to research...
Thank you Kirt. Your advice is profound and well taken. My heart aches for you and Lisa. There's a monumental void in your life that will take work to fill....
Hi Inge, Panting can be a sign of pain. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that. We did acupuncture for Ginger every week starting as soon as we could after...
