tornadosgirl Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) We came home from work tonight to find Penny with swollen glands in her neck. It was too late for the regular vet, so we took her to Tufts/Foster Hospital. They've admitted her for diagnostics. All her lymph glands are swollen. Her temp and heart rate are slightly elevated. They mentioned the possibility of cancer several times, along with some other things that I can't even remember right now. I just can't believe it. She's only 4 1/2 years old.... Please pray for her. We won't hear anything until noon tomorrow (Thursday). They're doing needle aspiration of the neck glands, ultrasound, blood work, etc. She has not ever been sick and was running around the yard like a maniac with Tornado yesterday..............

Guest KRKWMU Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I really hope it's nothing. Our girl Bonnie was diagnosed with lymphoma this past February (she's about to turn 6). It's not something I would have ever asked for or expected, but Bonnie has done fairly well with the chemo treatments. Keep your head up. Try not to get too anxious. Even if it's lymphoma or another type of cancer, you can get treatment for her. Keep us updated. I'll be thinking about Penny. Let us know what you hear tomorrow.

queenwinniesmom Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 It's horrible when you don't know, isn't it? Because we always think the worst. Like everyone, I'll be joining the chanting and hoping that it is an infection that can be cleared up.
