Bailey Bloated Last Night

****Update August 11****

Hi everyone,

Bailey is doing well. She had a good sleep on Friday night and Saturday was a quiet day. On Sat evening our friends from Virginia came for a visit. They have 4 greyhounds (that were at home) so they were very aware of the fact that Bailey needed her rest and we happy to just hang out. We had a quiet dinner and just sat around for the night (with some wine :P )

 

Bailey decided that she wanted to sleep on the couch that night and quickly went into a roach. She slept like that for the entire night and woke up well rested. On Sunday she even played with her pink piggy and was acting like her ol' self. However, last night she seemed off and this morning as well, so her vet came by to see her and he said that everything was fine... so more than likely she over did it yesterday. Of course after the vet left, she was fine and slept most of the day. She is sleeping so soundly that she is going into REM - so she is healing well too.

 

She is eating really well - cooked chicken, with some pumpkin or squash and tonight even had an egg with dinner. Her back foot that was swollen is looking much better too.

 

The pathology report hasn't come in yet - but the vet is pretty sure that it's not a cancer, since her spleen did look pretty normal, aside from it's massive size... but he knows and we know that there is still a chance. Will let you know when we get the report - hopefully tomorrow

What wonderful news --- way to go, Bailey! :clap I was so impressed that your vet did a home visit! My vet lives very close to me but has never offered that. Sending prayers and good thoughts for continued improvement and total healing!

***UPDATE AUGUST 12****

 

we got the pathology report back today..... and..... I WANT TO SCREAM WITH JOY!!!!! :banana:bounce1:clap:confetti :confetti :yay :yay

 

N-O C-A-N-C-E-R

 

Her spleen was completely clean of any tumors. Basically it was just packed with Red Blood Cells - the vet called it a "congestion".

She is on the mend. Eating and playing and of course still resting. Thank you so much everyone for your kind posts and thoughts for Bailey. They worked.
