Update on Ms Bijou---

 

We are still in a holding pattern, but it is not looking good. The swelling has increased and now her ankle area is swollen. The vet thinks this is due to the mass cutting off blood flow to her foot. So I am laying her on her back ( like that is hard to get a greyhound to do :lol ) and massaging the foot and ankle to get the blood flow again.

 

The vet aspirated the mass in 3 different areas to get samples to get to the lab. Vet is not happy. If it was more a soft tissue or fat mass the fluid would be clearer. But these samples are almost pure blood. She told me to hope for the best, but be ready for the worse. Bijou has lost 11 lbs in the last year even though she eats anything and everything she wants. Another bad sign. I should get the lab results back Wed. Afternoon and we will go from there.

Really hoping the vet is just preparing you for the worst, and that the worst won't happen. Give your girl a kiss for me and tell her that people all over the U.S. -- and right here in IL! -- think she is the most beautiful girl ever.

Hoping it isn't as serious as the vet thinks. We'll be thinking of Bijou and you.

I hate this! Praying the news is better when you know what's actually going on. Let me know if you need anything Greg.
