REALLY devastated UPDATE again
Sorry o/t but am totally devasted.
My wee dog had been quite poorly & had taken her to vet's a few weeks ago she got given some food to help her as she had a tummy upset.
Since then she got bad again, took her to vet on wednesday & they kept her in for tests, they found her protein was low & white blood cells were high, but after getting some fluid's into her she seemed a little better yesterday & this morning. We were waiting for an x-ray today & got the devasting news that they found 3 masses which shouldn't be there so went straight to surgery to find out more. Managed to remove 2 of them but 3rd one was too dangerous to remove. So waiting to hear if it's cancerous, which the vet has said it's more than likely going to be. Am totally gutted, I love my wee dog to bits & hate to see her so ill. I'm just holding onto the fact that hopefully if it is cancerous that she will be strong enough to have chemo. I just haven't been able to stop crying for days now & just want to go & hold her.

Just off phone with vet. She had food yesterday & did a semi solid poo. She's off drip & they are reducing her pain killers today. So monitor her over next 24 hours she may get home tomoz.
UPDATE
Well we got the worst news possible today Rita has lymphoma (sp) so have been given 3 options
1. Do nothing & she'll live for 4-8 weeks
2. Steroids & she'll live for around 4 months
3. Chemo she'll live for 7-12 months
So any option really ends in the same outcome. Think we've decided to go with option 1 as it's the least painful & the least selfish thing to do. Am completely devastated. But I no it's all for the right reasons.

Hey ladies,
Well Rita has gone down hill again & the decision has been made to put her to sleep on Wednesday morning So sad, but I knwo it's for all the right reasons we're doing it & I can't bear it to see her in so much pain. She was our 1st family member & can't believe she won't be here anymore. The house will be so quiet & the postman won't no what's hit him cause the post will never be attacked & flung up the hall & into the kitchen again. We always thought this will be the dog Rhea will grow up with, grabbing onto her fur while pulling herself up crawling along beside rita while she walks. Rita had started to sleep under Rhea's cot at night & that won't happen again.
Just so sad
