Your dog ever had a CT scan?

[Shorts]

Just dropped the dog off for a CT scan of his nasal passages. Hoping for bacteria/fungual rather than cancer/tumor

Ever had a CT scan done on your dog/pet?

CRAP!

Sorry to hear this, sure hope it's just an infection or something as well.....

 

[Shorts]

Yeah - thanks man. And sorry, didn't intend to jump down your throat in the other thread. I'm a little tense.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Understandable....

no CT's, several x-rays & sonograms over the years. best of luck to your pup.

Yes, even a MRI to help determine an issue with one of her hip replacements. Hard for them, they don't understand what is going on, but the sedatives help.

You're right they don't understand the severity or entirety of what we're putting them through. I guess in our case that is good. This morning Chester was acting like he was there for social hour, wanting to play and say hello to everybody. That dog amazes me that his attitude is so happy-go-lucky even when he's dealing with something serious. Fortunately it isn't his first time to get worked on. The last time he was in the ER was for eating some kind of yard decoration - a plastic chicken. lol Damn dog! It was the size of a small apple and they had to open him up to get it out. That one could have killed him. It got stuck in the opening from his stomach to intestines. If it would have gotten in the intestines, it would have been game over. I never though I'd say I'm happy he threw up 13 times downstairs. heh Poor dog, he's the best.

You gotta love them, even when they do stupid shit. Kinda like kids I am told.

 

[Shorts]

lol That's what I hear. No kids here either.

There are plenty of times I want to tan his hide but I look and him and he is grinning right back like 'that was great', I have to pull back.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

No kids here either, my dogs are my children.

See my sig....

My pooch decided a piece of thread looked tasty. Unfortunately, there was a sewing needle on it...oops!

Ouch. Did the needle get very far?

Got results yesterday. CT reveals a mass in the sinus cavity. It was biopsied. Should know on Tuesday.

When it rains, it pours.

Prayers to you. We put our eldest down in April. We had tumors removed and they kept coming back and new ones developed all over.

Do you have any type of medical coverage on your dog? I thought it was stupid until paying out of pocket for multiple operations.

So sorry to hear about the pup...our Katie is still battling two tumors and some spine issues. Most days, you can't tell anything is wrong except for old age!(She takes after me ). Best of luck with the results. Katie responded well to Paladia...one tumor shrank and the other stopped growing...about the best we could hope for.

Give the pup a pat from Katie and me!!!

more good thoughts for Chester

Thoughts and prayers headed your pup's way, Monica.

Prayers and best wishes for you and Chester. Shadow and Lucy are hoping he gets well soon.

Sounds like one of mine - he swallowed not just one, but TWO socks one time. Swallowing one is bad enough, but going back for seconds is just bizarre. After a day or two it was obvious something was wrong, wouldn't eat and couldn't get anything out (either end) and just didn't act right. The morning of his vet appointment, he left us a present in the laundry room - an enormous loaf of, something. Bagged it and brought it to the vet and found out it was a pair of socks.
