The doctors asked if they coudl do the biopsy not that she has passed to find out what really went wrong. I said yes because I need to knwo for my peace of mind but I wish I had gotten a second opinion. The emergency hospital was very surprised they did the sugery without the biopsy. I don;t knwo who is right I just miss her and woudl give anything to get her back!
Do you know yet what they found from the biopsy they took after she passed? I know what you're going through - last year we lost our 13 yr old Yorkie from liver cancer and our 14 year old Sheltie from spleen cancer within 4 mo's of each other - it was a hard time - it just takes a lot of time and a lot of crying to heal.
