Meadowmufn Posted September 28, 2019 Report Posted September 28, 2019 *sigh* It's been a rough year. First, we had my cancer to deal with. I'm back at work and stress at work is not helping with my recovery. Now, our dog's liver isn't working right and we have to schedule a liver biopsy and possibly an ultrasound. He's anywhere from 9 to 12 years old, our vet guesses closer to 12. We can't have kids, so our dog is our baby. I'm super stressed out. I would like a long stretch of good news for a change. Quote
Hobie Hartkins Posted September 29, 2019 Report Posted September 29, 2019 I'm sorry to hear all that. Never forget though...All of us here, love you very much Muffin! Meadowmufn 1 Quote
RogerDuke Posted September 29, 2019 Report Posted September 29, 2019 I'm sure you've heard me say this before but if you have a bunch of bad luck that means that you are due for a bunch of good luck. I hope it starts coming your way soon. And if I'm wrong and you don't get good luck soon think about Hobie's words because you sure have a lot of love....here on the HazzardNet.

Roth Potter Posted September 29, 2019 Report Posted September 29, 2019 It has been a rotten year here as well. I won't go into details but I hope for a good string of news from your side soon Meadowmufn! Meadowmufn 1 Quote
Meadowmufn Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Posted October 22, 2019 Well, it's liver cancer. Normally, surgery could give him a few more years, but that's for one tumor. He has two, on two different lobes, and the rest of the liver is abnormal so the cancer may be diffuse. That means he's not a good candidate for surgery. At the recommendation of both the oncologist and our vet, we're going to start him on a liver supplement and make however long he has as happy and comfortable as possible. Fortunately, he's relatively healthy and isn't having symptoms yet. This was caught during routine annual exam blood work which led to the ultrasound and cytology that diagnosed the cancer. The cancer he has is a slow growing cancer, so I'm hoping he has at least one more good year left. Quote
Hobie Hartkins Posted October 23, 2019 Report Posted October 23, 2019 I hope it all works out Mufn! Keep us posted! Quote
Meadowmufn Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Posted October 23, 2019 Thanks. In other news, it was his 7th Gotcha Day yesterday and he got special puppy cake (I ordered cake mix on Amazon, made specifically for dogs). It was a good day. Garrett Duke 1 Quote
RogerDuke Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 So sorry to hear this MM. The good news is that he has somebody like you to love him. Quote
