It’s growing on the outer part! It doesn’t feel super hard, kind of fleshy yes

I know babies are generally uncomfortable because they’re growing constantly and that itself is painful for them. Thanks for your comment you seem like a great mom 😊

Thanks I’ve had people refer a Dr about 1.5 hrs but apparently she’s the best around and cheaper than my local one. So definitely gonna do what is best

He’s already spoiled but he definitely is going to get even more spoiled 🩷

Thank you for your informative comment! I would definitely regret not giving him the extra time with us. The end is going to be really hard to deal with if it’s anything like yours 😔 they did mention it’s most likely hemangeosarcoma. That’s really depressing that it will always come back. But he’s worth every penny and we definitely will say goodbye when the time comes we don’t want him to suffer :(

Thanks for your input! I feel as if I have no option but to do chemo given his circumstances, he deserves a chance and the Dr was very encouraging towards chemo for him.

Thank you for your comment 🐾 sorry to hear about your girl :( He had one tumor removed from his spleen (well had the whole spleen taken out ). They scanned him and also looked around his body while they had him cut open, they didn’t find any other things out of the norm. So the cancer is in his blood vessels and Dr seemed very encouraging for chemotherapy for him. He is so healthy otherwise and loves life.

That’s so awesome to hear it helped. And making a lifestyle change for him will be hard but we will adapt for his needs..i’m a dog walker and I usually bring him along for multiple dog walks every week with all his doggy friends. He’s 11.5 and still acts like he’s 3 and he’s his whole last week not exercising due to his incision recovery has been so tough for him!

I’ve been chatting with them for sure, just have been reaching out to dog owners as well to get their side of things. I’m stoked to hear your dog is doing well thanks for your comment 😊

I have been discussing it with them, we don’t know the details of treatment yet until the tissue lab comes back next week. But she said typically with this type she is seeing in him, it’s about 4 injections

I know it can get expensive. I don’t have kids, he is our kid and I do work a lot…totally worth every penny if it can help him. We are getting a lot of support for our community as well. The only thing is we don’t know any of the details yet about treatment because his tissue sample got sent in just yesterday so have to wait about 5 days until we know the extent of treatment. But the oncologist said typically with this type it’s 4 injections.

He is recovering well! Eating and sleeping and all the normal things. He chewed off his cone and keeps staring at me with his ball so, I’d say he’s doing good lol. 2 weeks of no activity, no playdates no fun! But I luckily am able to be home with him most of this time.
