He was close to 13 years old when this happened. At the time they removed the tumor, there was no spread of the cancer, but the vet was clear to us that this type of cancer comes back. Mickey had 6 more months of great quality of life. He was not sick at all during that time. He ate, played, howled and slept like my baby always did. One day, all the symptoms came back with his stomach becoming distended and obviously he was not feeling well. When the vet opened him up this time, he said the cancer had spread and we had to send him to the Bridge mercifully while he was under anesthesia. We were heartbroken, but at least we were prepared for the outcome. The vet was very honest with us that it would come back, but it was a full six months of quality time with our hound we so loved, so we had no regrets at the end. We will keep Beasley in our prayers for continued good days ahead with you and your family.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Eileen and Toby Lance <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
