Hello all.
it has been awhile since I've been here on this forum. We moved back to US in June with our then 8 months old cavalier Dashy, my husband was fighting cancer the whole summer and it is really hard journey for him and the whole family.
My Dashy is now 11 months old and she became suddenly lethargic the other night. Yesterday morning she woke up, didn't want to get out of bed and when she finally did she had hard time walking, she was obviously in pain and so I took her to see a vet. They kept her in for the day, ran some blood tests, ultrasound and gave her back to me on the end of the day, saying that hahaha, he is probably depressed. She looked like she didn't recognized me. So I called the doctor, that she is in much worse condition then in the morning and can't walk at all at this point and how come that they didn't noticed. I was so upset. Took her to emergency clinic and the first doctor said that she's in pain and it comes from her neck. So what now. Their neurologist wasn't there so they send me to another clinic. We spent most of the night their, got some tramadol an went home to see the neurologist in the morning. We were thinking that this could be disc, CM/SM or encephalitis. Long story short, we spent another full day at two clinics today. Got MRI with result no slipped disc, absolutely no CM and no SM. But lymphoma. Most likely. They took another ultrasound, took some sample and as we don't have detailed result yet. It is most likely a cancer. We're going to see an oncologist at wednesday, but Dashy is not feeling good at all. Got ATB and prednisone. We did little bit of reading and it looks like it's not curable. That we're going to lose another puppy. My precious Dashy!!!! Sooner then later. I don't know if you guys have experience or can link me to some sites, I don't know what to do, but I'm devastated. I can't breathe. This last year was absolutely horrid and it feels like we're only getting lemons from life. She is so young, going to be a year old on october 2nd and this is just plain not fair. Anyway, thank you for reading this.
