Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Tracy, I hope that they get to the bottom of things. It sounds like Woody is in good hands. Daisy didn't need to be sedated for her US, she fell asleep as they did it! Must have thought it was an awesome belly rub :-)

It's hard when they don't like the vets. Daisy doesn't mind the IMS thankfully. Keeping you both in our thoughts.

i hope you and woody will both get some rest tonight and hopefully they find out what is wrong with him.

I hope Woody has a restful night, it must be some relief that he has the IMS who he knows there with him. Hoping all goes well and they figure this all out. Woody is such a trooper! Glad to hear you have your sister and niece there taking good care of you!!

Holy Cow Tracy! So much going on. My heart was pounding as I was catching up on what was going on today.

I do hope they figure this out. hmmm, Snuggs (a beagle on the forum) had the test for the pheo and Trish and Song, both know a little bit about it too, so can give you some insight on that test.

The symptoms just all seem to jumble together sometimes, and I am sure that makes it even harder to get a firm reading on what is going on with Woody. When he is good, he is real good, but when he is bad, he is real bad. Very little in between staging for him.

A couple questions I think I'd ask would be about these episodes being since the surgery (any possible connection to the anesthesia or anything else) and that the second one was so much worse than the first one, including the during and after. What could the signify.

I'm so glad it is Emma on with him tonight as I'm sure he doesn't like to be away from you for this stuff.

So nice of the family to come over and fix a meal for you! What sweethearts they are. They are probably quite worried about you and Woody. The dears.

Well, we are here, scream, rant, whatever you need to do. :)

Ok Tracy now that you got my mouth watering for some of that sausage casserole and they baked yet??? Wow what a fantastic family that loves you and Woody so much. I bet Woody would have liked to have some of that casserole too. Sleep good tonite friend we are all here for you. Oh I may need to get that recipe!! Blessings

I've just called the hospital for an update on the boy, Emma said he had been moved out of ICU as he was getting too stressed by the dog next to him so they have moved him into a side room away from all digs with a blanket and bed. She checked on him and he as fast asleep all 4 legs in the air lol I told her how I appreciated that she moved him to lower his stress levels and she said nothing's too good for Woody as everyone is talking about him and his case lol

I'm so tired but my mind won't let me sleep. Patti I can't cook worth a jot just basic stuff my sister is a chef and is fab at making me food :p

Oh so glad they moved Woody. He doesn't need to be stressed out right now.

oh yum, a chef that cooks for you! Gotta love sisters that cook. My sister bakes, she's pretty good too. Now I'm missing being with her at the holidays. drat!

hugs,

Tests will be more accurate without the added stress. I'm glad they have moved him and that he's able to sleep.

Hi Tracy
I am home from work and you will be getting up soon, hopefully you have news that Woody has had a good nights rest in his own private room! They sound like they are taking very good care of him and so nice Emma was on as she loves our boy too.

Hope you had a little catchup on sleep yourself, feels so weird when they are not there doesn't it. Think I need a bit of an early night myself after the late one last night :D but will be here or round about a few hours yet! xx

Hospital have just called. He,s had quiet a good night, his obs were good but there was times when his heart rate was high, but did settle down, I think that would be the stress. Laura the daytime IMS is not convinced that his heart is ok, so wants cardiology to have another look at him, as at times last night he went pale for a little while then back to pink (which is what I saw with him) He will also come home with a 24 hour monitor on. Does anyone have experience of what that its.

Neurology department will be seeing him today, he will have his US, he has had a rectal examine to try and determine maybe what is causing the colitis and he will also have the urine test to check for the pheo. So lots going on for him today I hope his stress levels holds up.

I,m alright have a bad migraine, think its stress or lack of sleep but will stay strong for the wee man. So lots more positive thoughts needed for him.

Trish - you deserve an early night and thank you so much for staying up to talk to me I really appreciated it as it kept me calm. :D
