Hope all goes well @cidermaster and Ruby is up and about before you know it

 

Thanks for the kind words Cool Bhoy

 

Ruby Roo resting now with her 2 favourite Toys after a good long walk today.
Tomorrow it is a visit to Doctor Vet of course

 

Ruby Roo had her operation to remove the cancerous tumor on friday lunchtime. It was horrible dropping her off in the morning, i left in tears, as the details of risks were given. Then i had 2 shocks, first my sister phoned at 1.10pm, thought bad news, then the Vets phoned 1.36pm, thought it first must be bad news as they said they should be phoning 2.30-3. But it was very good news, surgery went very well.

I picked her up at 5.45pm, the wound was deeper and bigger from the operation than first thought but the tumor has gone and the surround. Ruby Roo and me were equally pleased to see each other. We will know in a week what grade of cancer it is, we are praying it is grade 1. The main thing that horrible tumor has gone.

She left the Vets with those annoying cones on her head, but i have now got an inflatable protective collar which she much prefers and only needs to wear it when i am not around.

So for the next 2 weeks just one small walk a day, so we both suffer equally, but it will soon fly by and once again big walks as usual. Her appetite is as healthy as ever, always a good sign, bless her. And she is doing her business fine. At first she was in a fair bit of pain but was very brave and now it has virtually gone and she is happy and loved.

As we all know in here our dogs are proper loved members of our families

 

Good news, I hope she recovers well and gets you out on those long walks soon.

 

Some very good news, i got a call from the Vet today, Ruby Roo has grade one cancer, and it is virtually certain the bad cells have been removed as the surgery has been successful . She has been very brave having had severe Diarrhea and lost her appetite.

Yes she reacted badly to the pain killers but today her appetite is back and she is a lot happier. She has a wee bit of paracetamol every day which has really helped.

I am so relieved, I love her more than life itself

 

My Boxer Ruby Roo may have Lymphoma cancer now. It is just not fair she is such a loving being and so brave. She of course recently had surgery to remove a cancerous Mast Cell Tumour and was fighting strong.

Over the festive time she started to drink more water and was more lethargic than usual and started to find it hard to bite hard things like her dental sticks, she simply was not her usual full of fun jumpy self. And I discovered 2 lumps on her throat.

She went on thursdsy for blood tests which luckily were okay as was her heart, breathing, weight , muscle tone , mouth and overall health. However they have sent samples of the 2 lumps to be tested as there is a real threat of this horrible cancer. I just have that horrible week wait.

Hopefully if it is this horrible disease it is not full in aggressive and she go on being happy and loved for say a year, I would take that. I love my 8 year 9 month old Boxer daughter so so much.

Some hope on Friday and yesterday she really enjoyed her sizable walks , is eating fine, seems a lot more comfortable and is sleeping much better. She also had some of her hard biscuits again. Oh and loved some lamb I gave her again.

 

I have everything crossed for you mate that she is fine and nothing wrong with her will be a very concerning time for you hope all goes well

 

Massive cheers Cool Bhoy

 

It is the news i feared but expected, the Vet phoned today and she has Lymphoma cancer which has spread. She only has months left at best. She is such a brave loving bog hearted soul and while fighting off one cancer another hidden one was here all the time.

I hope she can get to her 9th birthday on April 2nd, we would both take that right now. One thing for sure every second she is still on this planet will be full to the brim with love.

 

Lost my best mate in the world Dino last week.

15 & a half still buzzing till the end, so weird without him everyday he was my world, his legs started to go a few months ago and then he just couldnt support himself anymore, went to sleep last Monday & will miss him forever

 

RIP Dino, i bet you had a brilliant life full of unconditional love. I bet you gave out endless joy. Dogs are completely members of our families and their love and souls never leave us.

 

Sorry for your loss. Hard thing to go through.

 

Sorry to hear that,Donal…never easy.

Best thing you can do for an animal is give them a good life and that’s what you done

 

Cheers man, ah he did the same for all of us, got really lucky with him

 

So sorry to read this, what a cracking photo man

Been there and it's tough, you'll have so many special memories and I echo the lads above.

Just before Christmas a month after stepdaughters dog died we were looking after her friends dog, a golden retriever.
Just found out that her friends husband was driving with dog in back and was in a serious crash. He survived with some injuries but dog died at scene. It was only 8 mths old.
