Guest MorganKonaAlex Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Demon has had a funny gait with his front legs for a few months now. I could never quite identify which front leg was the problem. At his annual last month, the Vet could only find some "crackling" in one of his wrists. A week ago, Demon started favoring his front left. The Vet still didn't find anything alarming. He was put on coated aspirin twice a day and we scheduled an xray for 10 days later just in case. Yesterday he was worse so we moved the xray up to today. xrays showed his heart was "huge". Not just greyhound large, but huge. They also found a "moth eaten" lesion at the top of his humerus. The lungs did not look clear but the Vet said it didn't look like classic mets. The films have been sent to Tufts for a radiologist to read. We probably won't have the read until Thursday. It looks like hemangiosarcoma and/or osteosarcoma are the 2 top possibilities. Demon is only 6. Quote
