Tough call on that one Ali. Here, the shot is a two parter. I know one lady that owns a doggie day care and she will only take dogs that have completed both shots. It is usually passed around in day cares or dog parks where there are mutliple dogs drinking from the same water.

Ohhh good luck Bella....you will be in my thoughts today for a great surgery and a quick recovery!!!

If she were my dog I would leave the tumor alone do the best I could to manage with diet and other holistic treatments. But above all I would just live it up with her and enjoy every day I had left with her.

Bella is home now. She's pretty groggy still, and not at all protesting to the crate rest. Everything went well. Her incision is about an inch and a half long, and looks great. A little red, but thats to be expected. Im sure by tomorrow she will be bouncing again... Thanks for the positive vibes everyone.

I would recommend doing a "MET" check -- the radiographs of the chest. Check to see if cancer has spread to the lungs. If so, then you don't pursue surgery or treatment of any kind. Then, if the lungs are clear. I'd have it removed. As for submitting the mass for histopathology.. it's really a matter of how curious you are and how indispensable funds are. If you have extra cash, don't mind spending it.....

Theodore was nutered back in June, swelling and some redness is normal, if the area where the incision is seems to be leaking or ozzing then I would call your vet. or if swelling gets worse. Keep him as quiet as possible and dont' get it wet!

Wow, at least you know what is causing all the itching.

Well she's come round from the anasthetic so I'm just waiting to hear when I can pick her up. Apparently they can find nothing wrong with her joints from the x-rays. They asked for my permission to send them off to a specialist to see if they could see anything that my vets might have missed. So they'll be sent off today and we should hear back by the end of the week. So if it's not her joints, what is it? I mentioned about...

ok just to update, Misty has an appointment for a Holistic consult with my vet on Tues. I may not be able to update until wed. though(I MIGHT have time after the appointment on tues.) as I am working both my jobs and taking Misty for the consult in the middle lol

I still to this day do not know WHICH allergy triggers his itching/hair loss around his eyes/muzzle. I prob. never will, and it will take up to 9 months for his hyposentization shots to help him. Consider yourself lucky! LOL She still had other allegies,...
