[Dailydrool] Tinkerbell

[Chris Bly]

Tinkerbell had been urinating a lot lately so we thought she had a Urinary 
Tract Infection. We got pills for her and she seemed to be doing better. We 
took her back to the vet when the urinaion and drinking became severe again 
and the vet took blood. Her calcium level was up. Two major reasons a dogs 
calcium level elevates are either cancer or hyperparathyroid. She had a 
growth near her anal sac. We  got an aspiration of her anal tumor and it 
came back Malignant for Andenocarcinoma. Thursday I am taking her in to see 
if this cancer has metastisized to her lungs. If so we will keep her 
comfortable, If not we will see what our options are. Has anyone had an 
andenocarcinoma removed from their hound before? And how well did they do 
with removal? Please let me know. I read on the internet once they are 
removed the dog stops eating and does not fare well. Please send no pain 
drool Tinkerbells direction.

My vet went on vacation and did not tell me. The nerve of him. I have been 
waiting to hear from him about the news from our ortho vet in Columbia that 
he sent Busters X Rays to he was going to let us know when we could take 
Buster to him for possible surgery and my vet is not at his office for me to 
get the news HRUMPH!! I guess we will find out next week what the Ortho 
specialist thinks about Busters leg. Buster is doing well right now with his 
eye surgery behind him he is a very sweet boy.

A drooler sent us a donation of some ear wash and a gift certificate for 
Fosters and Smith catalog I got a six pack of flea and tick medication, 
Advantics 2 and four lbs of  dried sweet potatoes. Buster is the only one of 
my furkids that does not like the sweet potatoes. He has no idea what I am 
trying to put past him but he is not going for it. LOL Everyone else loves 
them!!This boy had never had a treat before in his life he looks at treats 
like what is this??? He eats most of them after he toys with them a while 
but the sweet potatoes he just cannot hack!
