A Dog's Life
I forgot to mention last week, after all the hubbub of dog health & animal hospitals, that I received a call in the afternoon from the vet that confirmed that Lucy doesn't have cancer. She just had a really bad infection.
Whew. Now we can all rest easy; Lucy's already got a head start.Labels: dogs

State of the Puppy
Her tests came back fine, which means if it is cancer it hasn't spread. Our next step is surgery, where she'll get all the infected tissue removed and sent to a lab to see if it is just an abscess or is a dangerous tumor.
Cross every finger and send every positive thought our way. Thank you for all your support.Labels: dogs

We saw another vet today, who gave us more positive, accurate news. Now awaiting test results...so in the meantime, send us lots of positive thoughts and hope!

The reason for my lack of updates the past two days is because of a routine visit that became life changing that leaves me devastated. My dog Lucy, my sweet Lucy-dog, the dog-I've-wished-for-on-every-birthday-and-at-every-wishing-well, when other girls wanted ponies, I wanted a puppy, was rudimentarily diagnosed with cancer on Saturday. She has a tumor on some swollen glands that, according to the vet, is likely malignant because of its location. I've been driving back and forth between my apartment and my parents' house, where she lives. Tomorrow, I'll hopefully take off from work early so that my mom and I can take Lucy to a pet hospital for tests and an X-ray to see if the tumor is indeed malignant and/or whether it has spread to her lungs or brain.
My head is aching from an unebbing tension headache, and I am devastated.Labels: dogs, growing up
