Doggie end of life decisions

[89th]

Really sorry to hear of the surprise bad news, but am hoping for the best from here out. Sorry for the delayed reply, I haven't been online for a few days (yes I do 95% of my TNCR'ing on my desktop). The size of that... wow. My FIL woke up one day about 10 years ago with blood in urine... very long story short, the surgery removed a 15-pound tumor, it was remarkably big. (He had stage 4 cancer, but has survived... almost 10 years of dialysis, kidney transplant, etc).

Speaking of vet costs. One employer I had offered pet insurance, which I thought was great (we have no pets right now), but one could hope that could be more of a norm for employers to add to their benefits package.

Sorry to hear about your pup's troubles. Glad to hear he is doing well. I hope the tests come back with good results.

Bushwa. How busy are these guys?

Three business days. I can't think of any routine paths we did that weren't knocked out in that time span.

Maybe the animal path pipeline is slower.

Took them 12 days, but just got the results. No cancer!

Out-fucking-standing!

What was the pathology? That's one BMFT.

Great news, I really expected the opposite when I opened this thread!

[Horace]

Thanks everybody!

Found this online:

If you have an older large-breed dog with a splenic mass that has ruptured, the likelihood of this being a benign situation is very low.

Maybe he got luckier than the 33% chance we were cited.

George, the tumor was a hematoma.

What???

How does that happen? What was the source/cause of bleeding? Trauma? Contained aneurysm?
