Thanks I think she was realy good and Ted seams to be fighting fit now, back to his old self . Just have to wait and see

Thanks

Hi Ted and I have just got back from vets where he had his stiches out, all looking good She also said even though the report came back very bad that she also knows of dogs that are still alive 3yrs later and to take one day at a time. I think that sound pretty good to me, who know what is around the corner for anyone. A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE ON THIS FORUM with all the suport you have given.

Forgot to say HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY TED

Thanks dianed and staffyluv Will let everyone know how he goes on Thursday as hopefuly I will see the main surgeon, as she was told to stay at home last week ( might have had swine flu) and I have only spoken to the assistant

Thanks Hellen for your support. Ted get his stitches out on Thursday and the tumour didnt bleed, so after Thursday I am just going to pretend this didnt happen so I can enjoy Teds company

Thanks for wishes rmc

Thanks Dianed That gives me abit of hope. I was just going to try and get him past the next week and try (and try ) to forget about it as he seems quite happy now.

Thanks for your replys, I will be going to the vets on thursday as Ted (the dog) has to have his stitches out then, and I will have another talk to them,(its a bit hard to take in from a phone call,which is what I have had) but its a horrible thing to say, but I cant afford something between $5-8,000 exspecialy if its only going to give him a few mounths more. But I will try the herbal side of things, Thanks

Hi This is the first time to post at this forum. I have a bishon x who is nine on monday. Last week we went to the vet as he did not want to jump up on the sofa any more so I thought he might have done something to his back. Was deversated to find out he had a large mass in his stomach. He had x-rays on his chest and a ultra sound, his lungs, liver and kidneys where fine. Last saturday he was operated on and the spleen and tumor was removed, (750gms whitch is big when you only weigh 3.4kg). We have found out the tumor is not good, a hemangiosarcoma. Has anyone ever had any dogs with this condition? Did not realy what to go down the chemo path and anyway it only seem to only add a few mounths. Any feed back would be greatfuly. e.g how long do we have left together
