Hi
Haven't posted in a long time. Brandy my basset had an appointment to recheck about her lyme disease that was treated last fall. Well when they examined her there is mass in her back right mammary gland. I was cleaning her last week on Thursday and it wasn't there then. She is always rolling over for her belly rubs I know it wasn't there. The vet thinks it is probably cancer. Tomorrow we are going to another vet because the vet we saw today is on base (military) and they don't do surgery. We are going to have the blood work sent to them and do an x ray to check her lungs. Then as soon as possible they said either Friday or Monday we will have it removed. The sooner the better. We lost Charlie our other Basset the 26th of December. I can't loose Brandy too. She is only 6 years old and sense Charlie died she is my shadow. The base vet said the surgery had a difficult healing time. Has anyone else had this type of surgery. I am just a mess. This is the 3rd Basset that we have had and all have had something. Anna had liver cancer, and when they opened her up to see if the tumor was attached to the spleen or the liver it was on the liver. She never recuperated from the surgery. It was the worse thing I have ever had an animal go through, and I don't want this to happen to Brandy, but I have to do the surgery. Brandy is very good at the vets they had a terrible time drawing blood today over 10 pokes in legs and neck. Finally we did get blood from the juggler vein she didn't whine or anything. Charlie use to shake and whine he was terrified at the vets we would have to drag him into the building or carry him.
I tried to do a search on cancer and it came back as an error. Not sure what I was doing wrong.
