I know this site is for cats, but our big dog Kelsey has been having problems for a while so I took her in this afternoon, The main thing I noticed is she is having trouble breathing. Well my favorite vet checked her over and decided some chest xrays would help, well it looks like there might be a tumor in there one her side and it is about as big as a golf ball if the xray is showing something that is really there.
They took some blood for some tests to try and get some more clues as to what is going on, when they took blood from her neck they found a huge lump there also. For now the vet gave me some meds for her to help her breathing till the blood work comes back. This is the same vet who took care of Tuffy and was always so upbeat with me about Tuffy, but she is really concerned about Kelsey.
Kelsey has also been acting strange, doing things she would never do before, and when I let her outside to go to the bathroom she wanders around like she is lost or something, and she will poop on the floor right in front of us and never let us know she has to go out, its like she forgets she has to go outside to poop, I told the vet some of the weird stuff she has been doing and she is concerned that there might be a tumor in her head someplace also. She has been to this vets office before and never complains or fights but today they had to put a muzzle on her to do anything with her.
So I am very bummed out tonight and worried about if she has cancer bad or something like that. I am a cat person but I raised Kelsey since she was little because I was home during the day on most days, so she is real attached to me and I am to her so it will be real hard if she don't have much time left with us.
