Update re: sick dog
Since so many of you had kind words when I posted about Chasey being sick, I wanted to update you. I'm pasting an email DH sent to friends this morning, since he summed it up well.
Chasey has been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of bone cancer. We found out about it a few weeks back when I thought she may have re-torn her ACL. X-rays have confirmed otherwise. We had a follow-up/second opinion consultation with an orthopedic veterinary hospital this morning and the doctor confirmed the terrible news.
The only thing to do at this point is to try and help here manage the pain until such a time when enough is enough. The doctor said she must be a very tough girl, which we all know she is, because bone cancer is very painful. Right now she is only limping and otherwise not letting on that anything is wrong. We were told that at best she probably has anywhere from a few weeks to a few months until we will be beyond pain management and time to put her down. We are certainly hoping for a few more months with her. Think happy thoughts for her please.
Re: Update re: sick dog
Happy thoughts and prayers coming your way.
As a fellow dog owner, my heart breaks for you. I am very sorry to hear that. Thoughts and prayers to you guys and be sure to enjoy your remaining time with her. lots of her favorite treats and cuddling
how old is she?
My little nuggets
She's 9 1/2.
Thanks, everyone.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll be thinking of Chasey and you/your DH. I've been wondering how he was doing since your first post a few weeks ago.
Oh Jess, I'm so so sorry.
I'm on the verge of tears here at my desk for not only her but you both as well. The loss of a pet can sometimes feel worse than the loss of a (human) family member.
Good luck to Chasey and I can only hope that she lives the rest of her life as pain free as possible. What a trooper. She is a great dog, for sure.
Let me know if you need anything!
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Hoping for the best outcome for you and Chasey.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
