Akyra was being really weird about her food the last two weeks, this last week she barely ate anything. Her belly started to distend and she started throwing up yellow liquid. I took her to the emergency vet last night. The xrays suggest that she has cancer, the vet says she thinks it hemangiosacroma. She has a very large mass next to her liver and her lungs look 'marbled' with small node type masses. Shes only 7 years old.
I think I'm still in shock. to think that she might not be here very long. She lost 5lbs, so feels so thin to me. But she still is excited to see me and wags her tail. She's at the vets now, on IV fluids. I took her a shirt last night to sleep with so she could smell me & maybe be more comfortable.
She's getting an ultrasound later today with the radiologist i believe - to look further into the masses. I'm trying to hold it together. I'm fine for awhile, but then I start crying. I just can't believe its her, I thought she would easily out last Sheba. And poor sheba is on her last leg. She's almost 15 years old, I have to assist her to go out & walk around & go potty. Its overwhelming to think I could loose both of my dogs very soon and very close together.
There are so many thinks I've done because of her, so many things she's inspired. So much of my life has been based around her, I just can't believe that its going to be gone so soon. I love her so much.
I dont know what the options are right now, but since she's not eating I know its not good. I'll update with the radiologists findings later. I can't believe this is happening.I just wish i would've known, she never acted sick ever.
its all overwhelming.
