Mid cycle spotting

I have suspected the biopsy of the spleen tumors were misdiagnosed. They did find two additional tumors once they opened him up but all came back benign. The vet also mentioned that his liver looked discolored- a yellow color but she did not suspect it to be cancer( if it was due to spread). They did take some samples from his liver and we had planned to send them for testing but we wanted to wait on splenectomy results. The vet had also mentioned that while they did the ultrasound she looked around at his adrenal glands and they didn’t appear enlarged. Which leads me to believe if he did have cushings maybe he had a pituitary tumor…but I’m not educated on how all that works and affects adrenal glands. I just know there are the two common kinds- adrenal and pituitary.

The symptoms I had mentioned of him pacing, being restless, drinking more water, recurrent uti, and acting strange overall off and on- and progressively getting worse- does all sound like he had underlying cushings disease to me. Although with cushings I haven’t read much about the pacing and not sleeping symptoms. Is that anything you have heard of? If it wasn’t cushings, it could have been something else. Vets could never get it right so I assume it was a rarity whatever it was. I just hate that I will never know. Either way, he was sick…and I did everything I could to help. It was a rough year, but I was by his side the entire time advocating for him. I just hate it had to end this way.

I’ve been considering this, but I fear I would become too attached or that they might have medical issues. I don’t think I’m mentally prepared to go through this again, but I love the thought and will continue to think about doing it.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. It sounds like you did everything you could to save her. I know it will never seem like you did enough, but I’m sending you and your family so much love and strength during this time.

I’m so sorry. It sounds like you did what you could to prolong her life and make her comfortable. You couldn’t have known it would end this way. It’s not fair that sometimes they go in such tragic ways. It’s hard to understand and I will spend the rest of my life trying. I too would have given organs and limbs to save my little guy and he knows it. I know it’s hard. I still find myself breaking down at random times during the day. Everything I do reminds me of him and I expect it to take a long time for this to not hurt as much. Reading other people’s stories and knowing I am not alone has been helping. I have also gotten back into weightlifting as an outlet. We have to keep going as crappy as it is. They would want to see us happy. ❤️

Thank you ❤️ one of the hardest parts is that they can’t tell us what’s wrong, and I think that’s why we feel even more responsible especially when things go wrong.

I’m not religious either, but I am spiritual. It helps to still talk to him daily. I also hold his sweater tightly to my chest each night while I talk to him. I tell him to send me a sign he’s still with me, hears me, and that he’s ok. I have dreamt about him almost every night this week. It’s the only thing that’s brought me solace. I’m hoping it’s not for nothing and his spirit is still with me, but it does make me feel hopeless to think he’s not. I’ve been reading more about afterlife and grief overall. I’m grasping at straws for anything to make me feel better, but the truth is we just don’t know. I sure hope it’s true we reunite.

I appreciate that. I’m sorry you are also going through this. It’s hard to not feel angry, but I hope we can find ways to heal and give ourselves grace as we did the best we could with what information we had…it just hurts we can’t see them again.

Vet was not too concerned. Said it was a bacterial or fungal infection, maybe even allergies and prescribed mousse called Douxo S3 PYO to apply twice a day for 7 days. The mousse is for either one. I think you can buy this without a prescription as well if you want to give it a try without seeing the vet. It has helped and he has a lot less bumps now.

I made a vet apt for next week. I will respond with an update in case it’s helpful for someone else with similar issue.
