I thought I should keep you up-to-date.

We got the report from Ondesterpoort (I should explain that this is our huge Vet University up in Pretoria). It was still nothing fully diagnosed other than it appeared to be a slow growing mass.

I went for a Specialist Vet consult a few days later. We had a very long consult, going through everything possible, including Radiation and Amputation; his age; etc.

The conclusion was and the vet advised (and I already had this scenario in my head) that we do nothing yet. I will take him back in about 3 months time for further radiographs and then they can be compared and we can get a more solid idea as to how quickly or slowly (Please God) this thing is growing. I have him on CBD oil and am continuing to walk him, throw his balls and ropes and generally being "normal"

Mr D has no idea there is anything wrong with him and he is giving me strength to be as"normal" as I can for him. The Specialist Vet was impressed by his condition for a 10 1/2 yr old dog of his size, said his musculature and conformation were extremely good.

For now - we wait.

Cats are like Potato Chips - you can't have just one

This is a good plan...,msg

To follow. Praying for no change on the next X-ray. Remember to live in the moment, he’s doing well now, and may be for for along time yet. (((Hugs)))

One day at a time

They say a good attitude can work wonders, and Mr. D sounds like he has a wonderful attitude, due - in no small part - to your continued and loving support.

Just keep living your life, enjoying one another, and especially try to keep "anticipatory grief" from stealing away any of your joyful days together (something I really tried to be mindful of with Glory).

Many more {{{{{hugs}}}}}

Take advantage and enjoy the time together...things will work out...nm
