Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2004Bad News
I hope everyone will pardon me for posting here about my dog, but I was hoping you all could send good thoughts Bubbas' way (he is an honorary cat in my house). He was just diagnosed with advanced stage cancer, found all over his lungs and a large mass on his heart, plus a smaller nodule on his spleen. The prognosis is bad, a few months at the most is what his vets are thinking. He just got sick on Wednesday, I took him in Thursday morning. Obviously it's been there for a long time but as recently as Tuesday he was running around playing keep away with his dolly (stuffed rabbit) as my boyfriend and I chased him around. I'm not taking this well, he's not a young dog but I was counting on a few more years with my guy. :( K > I hope everyone will pardon me for posting here about my dog, but I was > hoping you all could send good thoughts Bubbas' way (he is an honorary [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > :( K Oh, I'm sorry. ;-( I take it that it's too advanced/widely spread to consider chemotherapy?

They don't know why. We get a biopsy report on Monday so my vet and I will be able to go over our options more. It's not looking good - it's rather advanced. Thanks, Cathy.

Kitty sends headbutts his way (she doesn't really like dogs, but she tolerates them well and is feeling terribly sad over his condition--OK, she didn't say that, and she's actually curled up sleeping, but I'm sure she's dreaming good thoughts!). rona  Signature***For e-mail, replace .com with .ca Sorry for the inconvenience!*** > I hope everyone will pardon me for posting here about my dog, but I was > hoping you all could send good thoughts Bubbas' way I'm so sorry, Karen. >>I hope everyone will pardon me for posting here about my dog, but I > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I'm so sorry, Karen. Thanks Mary. Hope you and yours are doing okay. :) << I'm not taking this well, he's not a young dog but I was counting on a few more years with my guy. :( K >> I'm terribly sorry, Karen. I know it's never long enough no matter how long we get to keep them. I hope the time you have left is longer than you think and that it will be a wonderful time for all of you. It's very sad.

Your fellow vegetarian just bought some weird-a.s beaver wet food because many fussy cats and dogs have seemed to like it. Bubbas hasn't been eating, though he chowed down on one of those Natural Balance food rolls they have. It smells kind of like salami or something... :) K << some weird-a.s beaver wet food >> Huh? Really? I just googled this because I thought you were kidding. Urgh. I guess not. Of course, I hope it works for Bubba's sake but I guess this is an example of one of those ingredients that humans sort of find repugnant...like the reason they don't make mouse cat food...apparently cats would definitely go for it but it would disgust the humans too much to buy it. Very interesting, though. Is there an appetite stimulant like cyproheptadine for cats that works on dogs?

Damn. I'm sorry to hear this. Poor Bubba. :-( Laura I'm sorry to hear the sad new about Bubba. It's never easy to hear such news about our friend(s) no matter how long they've been with us. My best wishes for you both. Karen, I'm so sorry... Gustav, Rori and I are sending positive thoughts as well.

Hang in there. :( SignatureCheryl Trapped like rats. In a chia-pet. MIB II Karen, so sorry to hear about your doggy.
