I am so sorry to hear this. If you need a second opinion, Dr. Nancy Gustafson, Springfield Regional Veterinary Referral Center, is Tigger's oncologist. She is working with OSU with Tigger's lymphoma. Her office is right by the mixing bowl, number 703-451-8900. She definitely enjoys research and trying new things, and she trusts Dr. Cuoto and OSU, so if you need a local doctor to work with them, I'd recommend Dr. G. Whatever happens, you and Bailey are in my thoughts. Anne

Well - it's time to start spoiling my Bailey rotten. Biopsy result came back as a poorly differentiated splenic spindle cell sarcoma. My vets have emailed OSU but haven't heard back yet. When they checked with the internists/oncologists at Dogs and Cats (where I took Spec for his specialty consults) they said there isn't any good chemo for that. I'm hoping Dr. Couto will have a secret magic bullet but I'm steeling myself to accept that we spoil her for the rest of her time. They had no clue what caused the huge bruise on her side. It's too far away from the other tumors (thoracic cavity rather than abdominal) to be from one of them. They did a chest xray to see if there were any mets in there and it looked clean. Her pcv was the same as Saturday at 56 so it's not an active bleed. They sent blood out for a coag panel. I didn't think to ask how aggressive this type of cancer is but I think that poorly differentiated is bad.

 

 

Mo, I just don't know what to say... I can't believe it :( Bailey such a special little thing. I know you will spoil her rotton. Please let me know if I can do anything, I mean anything. Please give Bailey lovins from her auntie Karen and Uncle Guy.

 

Bailey Boo sweetie I'm sorry you have to go through this but know sweetheart your Auntie Karen and Uncle Guy love you to pieces :blush

 

Hugs to all of you Mo!

Praying for all the missing greys!

I'm so sorry. I was hoping with all my might that it wasn't going to be anything sinister. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

she still feels decent - we have nightly stuffy shaking going on when dinner time is announced. This morning we had 2-3 inches of new snow and Sean said she was playbowing in the yard. I'll be taking her and Murph to our groups meet and greet tomorrow to let her socialize with other greys as she enjoys that.

I am just checking in and am so sorry to hear this news! I hope there is some good news from Dr. Cuoto but it is good to hear she is still playful.

 

Many hugs and good thoughts being sent your way.

 

(In other news, I did not get the first shift chem position because a part time first shifter decided to go full time and she got it...there are two more people who will retire soon enough though, so it won't be long!)
