| Peter Parker and his worried mom need prayers This is my first post here, I'm trying not too get to carried away reading too many posts b/c I think it makes me worried sick even more reading some of the stories and how others have lost their furbabies. My Peter Parker and I are facing a mass in his intestine. I'm not sure yet if its the only place that it is or if its other places too. Hoping that its only in one place and operable. He also either has the IBD or Lymphantasia. I wasn't really concerned as to which one it was as the treatments are pretty much the same. On his way in to give urine, the doc was using the ultrasound on him and found the mass in his intestine. Please pray for the best for us! We need it. I'm trying my best to think positive. I am hoping the worms were a blessing in disguise and helped us to catch this early. |

| I'm so sorry you and little Peter Parker (love the name!) are going through this right now. We're going to be believing Peter got to the vet to have these tests so he could be helped. So sorry you joined us under these circumstances, but we are glad to be here for you and little Peter. Please keep up posted. |

| I'm so sorry to read about your Peter and his troubles. Did he have worms and you take him in for that and they want to get urine and do a sono? Is that what led to finding this mass? I wish the mass could be a cluster if worms or something easy like that - don't even know if that is possible. I will pray that this little fellow will have the least of whatever the differential diagnoses could be with this finding and pray that his treatment will be simple and unpainful. Please keep us updated. Try to not be too scared - maybe you did get this early since apparently having no sx. God bless!

| When I went in and we found the whipworms, I didn't know what was going on. My FAT dog had lost weight and I knew we did nothing to cause that so I was concerned. Not knowing what we were looking for we ran the "senior" panel which was everything blood urine xray and poop The poop came back with the worms and the urine and blood work showed anemia and protein loss. we treated for the whipworms (8 doses of pancura) plus took the preventative. Our blood work numbers never turned around. So we've been on the radar ever since. After a bad weekend of not eating and feeling lethargic our apt got moved up to MOn and when he went to ultrasound him to find the urine sample he saw the mass in the intestine. Prior to that we were talking the treatment options for the lymphantasia (can't spell it) and IBD for the protein loss. THEN THAT D&^% thing showed up. SO, I am waiting for them to call me that the lady who does their ultrasounds will come in to do it. I hope by Friday, so we can see where exactly it is, if it is encapsulated well (which he thinks it is) and if there are any other organs involved. If she doesn't come do it by Friday I will just go over to the specialist and get it done there. This is not going to be cheap no matter what but I don't want a death sentance. If do nothing that is what I get. I'm not ready to say goodbye. he just did turn 11 four days ago. He's my third yorkie, his brother is my second. His namesake (Spiderman) was my first. |

| He goes in to surgery tomorrow. The effected part of his intestine is going to be taken out and biopsied and also the other areas that could be effected. Hoping and praying for smooth sailing and good news. He's my little guy and I don't want to lose him. Not now not at 11. Not ever really but I know better. Please pray for him Kel |

| We're going to be praying everything is encapsulated and is easily removed in the surgery!!! It's good you were on top of his health and were having him closely watched by your vet! |

| I just saw this and I am so sorry to hear what Peter Parker and you are going through. I am sending prayers for a successful surgery and a complete removal of the mass, good results on the biopsy, peace of mind for his mom, and great quality and quantity of time left for Mr Parker. Best wishes and blessings on you all.

| I want all that, never thought i'd say it, but I'm glad he got worms. They prob made him lose weight faster and make it more noticable. Otherwise, how far would this thing have gone before he was noticably sick? By then it would of prob been to late. This way maybe we caught it in time. I just wish it would of been a month ago we were doing this when he still felt pretty good. |
