Please pray for Maggie
I posted a few weeks ago about our Maggie. She has been fine ever since and acted totally normal. Then over the last part of the weekend she wasn't interested in food and would vomit every 5 or 6 hours a small amount, yellowish to clear looking and quite thirsty. Nothing was waiving any red flags except she had eaten part of a sock (on low doses of pred. for the lick granuloma). We took her inexpecting a blockage. X-rays did show something so surgery was this afternoon. The sock had almost passed all the way through. We were totally shocked and once again devatated when the dr. said the mass that they saw was not the sock, her left kidney has an enormous fluid filled cyst on it – they drained fluid for analysis and took section of kidney. Also, liver on left side looks swollen. Right liver lobes have a mass attached to the liver part of the liver. Blood work not terrible. Gall bladder is also enlarged, so liver may be causing gall bladder issue. Kidney test was up a little, but they would expect that if she had been vomiting. Maggie probably has cancer... we chose to not euthanize her at this time. We will wait to see if she recovers from surgery (she hasn't woken up yet) and can eat and drink normally (keep it down). If she cant, then the decision is already made. If she can keep it down and be our happy girl, we will have a little more quality time with her, and we'll treasure every minute. She'd had x-rays last July and this didn't show up so it must be a very fast acting cancer.
Life is really kicking us hard right now, I had major surgery in October and the wound has never healed. I'm scheduled for surgery again this Thursday. Anyhow, all good thoughts and prayers for Maggie will be appreciated, it is not looking too good for her right now and we are a mess hearing this terrible shocking news.

Re: Please pray for Maggie
I will keep you all in my thought and prayers. Everything comes at once sometimes. I just lost my girl to the big "C" and it's very hard. I think that sometimes we'd take on their aches, pains and illnesses ourselves so we could spare them!
How old is your girl!! Jennifer

Re: Please pray for Maggie
Maggie just woke up from surgery and is alert, so that is good. They are keeping her on a heating pad for body warmth and will try intake in the morning. Maggie will be 10 in May. She is such a gentle girl.
Thank you everyone, I can't quit crying. My daughter and I spent our lunch with her before her surgery so we are thankful for that. Took her for a potty walk outside and she p'd and then wanted to head for the truck...that is so typical of her...just take me home.

Re: Please pray for Maggie
I am sorry to hear that Maggie is not doing well.
I see that is is on low dose Pred. Just a thought you might want to try predisnole, easier on the I believe liver. Val |
