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

Doc isn't convinced. Hmmmm, best to be safe. Sending prayers!

Tracy:
Is it an echocardiogram that they did on Woody? If so I would think that would tell them if his heart is functioning properly. I am not so sure they are going to find anything out about his blood pressure as he is in a stressful environment. I am hoping the tests he undergoes today are going to produce some solid answers for you. I feel bad that you have headache from all this. I know it is so easy to forget about yourself during these times as you are just concentrating on Woody. Me telling you to not get stressed out is like the pot calling the kettle black. Just know I am thinking of both of you during this trying time. When I talk to Tipper about Woody she just keeps turning her head back and forth like what do you mean. So you sister is s chef? I would be staying on her good side and get her an xtra special Christmas present. I am still thinking of that sausage casserole! I will be praying and waiting to see word on Woody. This kind of stuff can age you 10 years. Blessings

Heading work soon, but wanted to check in on your and Woody. Glad he had a good night. Also glad they are going to check him out thoroughly.

The heart monitors shows what his heart does during normal activity. They use it for people too.

Sharlene and Molly muffin

Yes, like Sharlene said, the monitor will periodically record his heart rate during all periods of his normal daily routines. I have worn one several times myself. Our Wonder Dog really is a mystery! But I am glad to see he had a fairly good night and hope he is home very soon.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

I,ve not heard back from the hospital yet, so no news is good news right! I,ve cleaned the house, wrapped the Christmas presents without a nosey wee dog sitting on the paper and have been and bought Woody his favourite toy a plush squeaky raccoon for his Christmas but have hidden it up high so he can,t find it. I,m sure he can sniff out toys at 50 paces :D Just keeping myself busy until they ring. Thank you everyone for keeping me and Woody "the Legend" in your thoughts.

Tracy:
I had one of those on twice. Not sure if it is the same type for a dog or not. It sends records data and they can pick up on things happening with the heart rate and rhythm. They have a cardiologist read it then. Hope all is good is Woody World today and that you get to see your boy soon. Blessings Patti

The hospital have just called me, Woody is a real sick little puppy and won,t be coming home tonight. So please bare with me as this may not read properly.

ECG - Found no fluid around the heart, and some Mitral Valve issues disease but stable at the same time. I knew this from his previous history.
Nerology report - Woody presented fine and no problems where found.

Ultrascan - Woody had to be lightly sedated for this as he wouldn,t settle. The ultrascan found the adrenal gland to be the same size 9.9mm as on previous scans it hadn,t changed in colour/appearance. The ultrascan also found a tumour on his Liver which covered three quarters of it :eek: They also found a small tumour in his gut :eek:
They said Woody was in pain due to the liver mass (I can,t have him in pain) so they are giving him IV pain relief so he has to stay in the hospital tonight. She has spoken with Ian Woody,s oncologist and he is going to call me later tonight to discuss things. They are shocked at how fast this has grown in less that 2 months as they two tumours weren,t there on his last US about 6/7 weeks ago. They reckon woody,s collapse is from the pain of the tumour, which is why he is taking his time to recover from these. I am in bits my boy is in pain, the one thing I didn,t want for him. I will update when Ian calls later. :mad:

Tracy:
I am so, so sorry. I know you must be a wreck. I never wanted to hear anything like this. God Bless You and Woody.
Patti

Oh my word! That did come on fast. With them not being present 6-7 weeks ago, it would have never occurred to me to think about something like this causing his collapses. wow...what a shock this has to be to you and his whole team.

Please know we are right by your side and waiting with you for Ian's report and recommendations.

Positive thoughts, prayers, and healing energies flying yours and Woody's way,
Leslie and the gang

I checked in from work and appreciate the updates and am so sorry you are going through all of this. I am praying at my desk for you and your boy. Have faith and know we are all right there by your side right now in spirit. Love, Kim
