giadog Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi again, everyone! If you're not all good-thoughted out for me, we could really use some for Gia... A week or so ago, we noticed she would limp a bit after jumping down off the couch or bed. It progressed to a serious limp, all the time. We took her in yesterday and they did a quick physical and bloodwork, and made an appointment for Xrays on Tuesday. They determined the pain is in her shoulder area. Gia's our first baby, but she's not much of a baby anymore... 9 years old. It's amazing how quickly that sneaks up on you! So anyways, please send prayers and thoughts that it's not THE BAD THING, and that she's just got an old-lady shoulder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giadog Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 It's cancer. They're doing a chest x-ray now to see if it's spread to her lungs. If not, she's a good candidate for amputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
