RE: [pyrnet] HEALTH; CHAT: Sampson, update no foot, results fromradiologist bad news
Title: Message
Linda;
Sampson is absolutely beautiful. I am so sorry for what you and
your family are going through.
You
are in my thoughts and we are sending big working dog wishes for you Tuesday
appointment. We wish you the best.

Limping
on right front noticed on 12/26 and went to vet - xrays.. she said it didn't
look like bone cancer. 2.5 weeks later back for follow up xrays and he
is limping worse. I steel myself for b.c. She is still thinking a
bone infection - xrays do show change. Xrays to radiologist.
Results yesterday morning - fast moving bone cancer.
We are
soooo sad. He JUST turned 5 on Christmas day and.. we lost the male Pyr,
Toby, before him to the same thing (they were no relation to each
other). Toby was "at least" 10 though. We adore this big dog, it
goes without saying. This is SO unfair after having already gone through
it.
I made an appointment for an oncologist in our area
for Tuesday and my vet has already sent the xrays forward (Dr. Sarbu in
Lynnwood, Wa). I even insured Molly and Sammy after our experience with
Toby, but that may not even be helpful, because today (Sat.), he is MUCH
worse: foot turned a bit to the side, swollen and we are giving
him max pain med: Tramadol 2 tablets three times a day. He is now
not even putting weight on the foot - hanging it in the air and it is just
killing us. I fear perhaps it has broken? Have a call back into my
reg. vet.
very, very sad around here.
