My dog who is 12 years old had a tumor on her spleen years ago. They removed the tumor and the spleen (in the nick of time. she started bleeding in her stomach). It turned out to be benign. A few years later she ended up getting bloat. She's only 30 lbs and I couldn't figure out why she would...

We had a biopsy done yesterday. He said she has a mass on her liver. I can't stop crying. The biopsy didn't come back yet but I read the report from the vet who did the biopsy. He stated depending on the biopsy the mass can be removed (if it's a slow growing cancer) buit she has a heart murmur...

My dog Maggie is about 12 years old. 2 months ago she had complete blood work and xrays (she has this done every 6 months because of her age and because she had a tumor on her spleen about 6 years ago). Everything came back great. Yesterday she wouldn't eat and just not acting herself. I took...

I have a friend who has 2 dogs. She feeds them a lot of people food. I've seen her feed them bacon, sandwiches with mayo on it, hamburger (no buns) from fast food. When they go to a mexican restaurant, she brings them home their leftovers. One of her dog (black lab) is slightly overweight...

But it wasn't like she just went after the toy. She was actually jumping and barking after the toy. I just talked to another friend. She said my dog was probably bored with her walk. I told her I don't know of any dog who gets bored with a walk. LOL However, we were walking near houses and I...

Thank you all for your replies. I have another question: I'm taking my dog for walks. We've been walking about a mile. I think it's too much for her. We will shorten our walks. My question is during our walk, Maggie was walking very slow and wanted to stop at times but as soon as we got home...

Thank you. Maggie isn't overweight. That's in her favor. I'm going to start taking her for small walks. Bernice

Our dog is about 11 years old (we rescused her from an animal shelter when she was about 3 years old). About 2 years ago, I was told she has a heart murmur (stage between 3 and 4). We go to her heart doctor twice a year. She has not needed medication until today. We just came back from seeing...

My dog who is about 9 years old started grunting when laying down and sometimes when she moves and position herself. She's playing, eating, drinking and acting normal. A few years ago, she had a tumor on her spleen which the vet removed. Ever since then, I've was taking her in every 3...

What is seismodoisis? Is it serious? How do they test for it? Bernice

My dog started the adequan injections. So far she had 3 shots. The vet said it can take 4 or 5 shots for it to start working. Since Sunday, she's been limping a lot more and today, I pulled on her paw and she whimmpered. It's a good thing that the vet, radiologist and the bone cancer vet only...

I just wanted to let everyone know that the vet called. He finally heard from the bone cancer vet. The only thing he saw is minor arthritis. Him and our vet recommend giving my dog a shot (adequan injection) twice a week for 4 weeks. Then once a month. I hope that helps her. Thank you...

Thank you. She's my baby. A couple years ago, she would yelp when jumping off the bed or recliner. I was laying in bed with her one night and thought I felt a lump in her belly. I took her to the vet who checked her but didn't feel anything. He said it's probably her back. So he took x-rays...

Thank you. I really hope it's only arthritis. But the medicine she's on isn't helping so if it's arthritis, wouldn't the medication help?

Yes, they did bloodwork and it was normal. The tech said bone cancer doesn't always show up in the bloodwork. She did say that bone cancer almost always shows up on x-rays. The vet and the radiologist didn't see anythng like that on the x-ray and I'm hoping the bone cancer vet doesn't see...

If you go to my album, I posted a couple pictures of my dog. I can't figure out how to post it on here. Bernice

I sure hope you are right. Bernice

Thank you. She's my baby. It improves alittle while she's active but she still limps. I really hope everyone is right and it's only arthritis. I'm new to this board but as soon as I figure out how to post pictures, I will. LOL Bernice

Thank you. I'm going to look for an elevated dog bed. Any recommendation on one? She sleeps with us and we have a foam mattress. Do you think that helps alittle? Bernice

Thank you for your reply. We got her from the animal shelter in 2004. I checked her paw but didn't find anything. My friend groomed her and cut her nails for me. One nail was so long, it was actually turning under her foot. I thought maybe that was the problem but she's still limping. The...
