Loca Has Chondrosarcoma


Recommended Posts

That is just nor fair, not for our Loca.

 

I'm hoping it's a grade 1 tumor that will take 25 years before it causes a problem, and that Loca is stealing your booze for many many years to come.

I am so sorry for the diagnosis. Sending big hugs to both Loca and you.

I do hate cancer.

Robin.....I'm so sorry. It sucks....I just don't know what else to say other than we're all here for you. Hoping you can find some non-invasive treatment to keep her happy and pain free for a long time.

 

You know I want to see my sleeping buddy in Dewey this year.

:kiss2 to you and Loca. I'm so sad and then I get to Xan's post and just start cracking up. :lol That picture is just so Loca and she's just too silly to get a clue about the stinking cancer and remember that she's supposed to be sick. So, Loca, no jumping on the dining room table or anyplace else for that matter so that you don't give Robin a heart attack with too much activity. Kelsey says that Mo Kick girls are tough and you have much more Loca-ness left in you yet. :seesaw So settle in with a good case of wine and kick cancer's butt! :kickbutt Edited by kelseysmom

My personal favorite way to picture Loca:

Lots of good thoughts for the two of you, and from now on, I think Loca should only get the good wine!

thanks for your good thoughts, all. i guess my next step is to order a pizza to share with phene and loca, but i'm keeping the wine for myself :cheers

 

my understanding is that her lungs are clear. my vet wants me to contact dr. couto re: treatment options, which i wil, but my gut feeling is that i'll opt for pain management. after all, she's has 12.5 very spoiled and indulged years :lol

 

last time tina (TinasTroops) looked after phene and loca (around 3 weeks ago), she and Jen (Jiffer) commented that her mobility seemed to have decreased. i had noticed it also, but seeing her every day i didn't realize how marked the difference was, which was why i had xrays taken rather than her usual chiropractic adjustments. she had seemed very uncomfortable but the metacam seems to be working wonders. has appetite is great and she is starting to roach again :beatheart
