Sorry to rant but Teds results from his blood test are back! its not thyroid so it must be that his cancer is back, hes getting slower day by day and hes really worrying me, its so sad , he wants to go for a walk then when he gets out he is so weak he cant go far,hes only just coming up 11 which is young for my dogs they usually live till at least 14, boy Im dreading the next few weeks or however long he has left, going to ask vet if he can have steroids as a last resort.
Pam.

I'm so sorry, I went through this with my last one.
Please don't leave it too long.
Thoughts will be with you over the next few weeks

Oh no, am so sorry to hear this, Is the vet sure that there is no other explanation for his deteriation? I wish there was something more helpful that I could say but Please try to enjoy the time that you have left together and I am praying for a miracle for you.

Hi Pam....so sorry you're going through this, it's really never easy
to see our loved ones suffer like this, my heart is with you!
I am not sure the steroids will do much for poor Ted at this stage
as sad as that seem's! Where does your poor boy have this nasty
disease? I hope there is something your vet can do to make your old
boy's day's painfree for the time being!
Thinking of you & I know you'll do the right thing if it comes to it!
Lots of love xx

You rant as much as you like, a lot of us have been there and know how you are feeling

Hello Pam,
I am so sorry to hear about Ted's news, its always upsetting when a pet becomes ill. Is there anything the Vet can do about the cancer or anything they could try to extend his life if the cancer is back or if it has spread?

I know your others lived to be 14 but 11 years is still a pretty good age for him, and im sure you and Ted have had the best 11 years together.

Ted will be in my thoughts over the next few weeks and fingers crossed that he will be okay for a while longer.

And if the worst does occur, make sure you enjoy the time you have left with your special boy.

Keep posting if it helps.
