We want to do whats best for the little boy and can't imagine a day without him. There is no cost too great to do what is needed to keep him around. King is not a mere pet, he is part of our family, like a brother, or a son. Please let me know of your experiences. Thanks!  |
I know you left Banfield and went to another place. I hope that is a vet hospital with lots of specialists on staff.
As LadyJane said it might not be cancer, and until you know if it is and what type of cancer, some cancers do respond well to treatment. Let;s not jump the gun. It is hard, and the worry will still be there, but don't despair!
And yes I had a young dog with cancer, but it presented much differently than your dogs' symptoms. It was lymphoma. There are three kinds of lymphoma and the kind she had was very aggressive. Unfortunately she was multi drug resistant and chemo was not effective. We lost her on MOther's Day weekend this year.
Just keep your chin up and enjoy every moment of time with your King
