Such a shame that there isn't much more they can do. When our girl had her tumor grow back after the debulk op we had a fortnight with her and that was it. Our vet did say to us that the type of tumor was really aggressive and only amputation would have given us much more time. Sadly her tumor was in her neck so not an option for us. She took a week to recover properly from the op but we only got another week or so after that. I think she had every kind of butcher's meat slow cooked to perfection that week. The last photo of her I got was her peering round the door waiting on her pork sausages on the dreaded morning. f**k sake. That’s me greeting now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous as f**k Was meant to arrive at 5.30pm. Was a delay the Euro tunnel which added extra time. Then just last half hour has been a crash on the m6. They are 20 minutes away at Stafford so will be long trek home. No clue when he will get here. Emotions everywhere. Mrs n her pal still seem in good spirits. 90 minute delay Edited May 28, 2021 by Robin.Hood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbreaking story though, will admit I shed a tear reading that and not just because I'm emotionally compromised right now. And thats the plan mate - I've already had a word with him and if he's going before his time then I want him to prove the vet wrong and make it to a year so we can spoil him absolutely rotten. Let him go out on a high full of his favourite food and as many good memories as possible with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qos91 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Loves the beach. Would spend hours on end swimming so was probably gutted when he got there and realised the tide was out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vets at the University in Edinburgh were honestly amazing and I can't speak highly enough of the vet we had today. Unfortunately for our wee pal, he needs his leg amputated then chemotherapy. Even at that the prognosis is only 9 months. Devastated isn't the word, but at least he's not going to be in pain in the short term for now. Ach that bollocks news, sorry to hear it. What can you do but make the most of whatever time you have left with the wee guy. Similar to Rizzo, my boy had an aggressive cancer and we unfortunately only had a few weeks after the op, but I have fond memories of trips to the beach and sharing fish suppers with him before then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Im now getting my head around the fact that we might not have caught this when we did and lost him within weeks rather than getting the best part of a year like we hopefully will. And he'll be fine as a tripod! Its horrible knowing they're on the way out but as long as they're getting fish suppers and butcher meat thrown at them while not in pain then they're happier than Larry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I'd videoed the first time our dog arrived. First time he'd felt carpet so he just lay down on his belly and shuffled everywhere like some weird slug with a weird grin He's taught himself how to arrange things on the couch now too. For some reason he gets really static when on it, so he now moves pillows and covers about to create a wee den of sorts he can lie on which stops him giving you electric shocks. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
