I'm Heartbroken - updated #14

We just got back from taking Scooter to the e-vet. He has a large tumor on his spleen (I think. I was bit shocked and not comprehending as well as I should). He's staying overnight. If they can stabilize him, we may bring him home tomorrow. But he won't be with us long. I'm just so sad. I was hoping to have a few more years with my big, sweet boy. Life sucks.

Oh no, Patrice! I am SO sorry! That is what my Tristan had, but we did not know it until it was too late. Many, many rayz ~~~~~~ for your boy for the best outcome - or if it has to be, a peaceful transition.

Will be thinking of you all. Too much sadness and loss lately.

Oh Patrice I'm speechless. So unexpected and so hard. Kim is right...too much loss. Is it inoperable? Sending all the and there are. Please know we're all holding you guys close right now. Keep us posted, ok? Somehow it feels like our DLC dogs should go on forever.

That's what got Pogo, Patrice. We didn't know until the day we had to put him down. He was with us for about 6 months from when he became food fussy, which for Pogo was a very big deal. I am truly devastated at this news. You know how much Rafi and I both love your little malamute. Sending all our love to you, Jim and Scoots. F*&k Cancer. This sucks so bad.

Thank you, everyone. We just got home from the ER with him. He's better than I expected him to be, but didn't want to eat so I'll offer him some broth and rice later

Paula, they said with surgery he would probably get a 3 or 4 extra months. With surgery and chemo, 6 months. I didn't feel like that was long enough to put him thru the surgery and chemo.

Like Kim's Tristan, its really too late to do much for him. I had the same thing happen with Pebbles back in the day. Unfortunately, its usually not found until it is too late.

We're just going to take what time we have with him.

I'm going to go lay on the bed and snuggle my boy

I'm in tears.

I'm glad he's happy

I'm so very sorry, Patrice. There is nothing like the pain of seeing your dog go through this. Our oncologist kept maintaining Angel just had neutropenia from chemo and that she had responded because the external nodes went down, but I did not think that was the case and I was correct. You and Scooter are in my thoughts and my heart.

I'm sorry Patrice. I hate it for you and Jim and Scooter. He is such a funny goofy guy. My thoughts are with you.

Patrice, my heart breaks for you as you go through the end of life with Scooter. It never gets any easier. He knows you love him and that is the best we can ask for. Hold him, love him. Hugs
