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

I bet you are, as he will be wanting to know where the heck you have been. But it sounds like he has been taken great care of there. Made me tear up when you wrote Ian had been to check on him before calling you and Woody licked his hand. What a sweet boy AND a lovely caring vet. Hope you get a bit of shut eye, I am here for an hour or so yet. I have to take something to work for a shared brekky at our 7.30am meeting. I am going to do mini herb muffins topped with cream cheese and smoked salmon. Just deciding if I should make them tonight or do them early tomorrow so they are real fresh!! I am so not a "morning" person so doubt I will feel like baking then!

That sound delish best maybe do them tonight if not a morning person or it could all go wrong ha. Ian and his team have been very good with Woody and the part that gets me is they do really care about the animals and not all about the money which is good to hear.

Yes it makes all the difference doesn't it, I don't know what I would without Mike and all the specialists we have had. They have all been great and I really cannot complain about the care we receive. I am sure Mike must groan when they see my emails pop into their inbox but I don't know how I would manage without their support. My specialists in Auckland wanted to be paid on the day, but I usually just leave Mike's without paying, they know I pay it all quickly so they are very relaxed about it... they say just get that boy home and pay whenever! I have been there 3x since his surgery and not paid yet :eek: But I will when I pick up his meds on the weekend and drop in their Christmas pressie!

I took your advice, muffins are in the oven! Hope they turn out as used the last of the flour and not much time left to make something else!! Sounds like my cooking skills are right up with yours haha... send your sister over!

Hi all

Tracy has received more news today on Woody while we have been chatting, this blardy tumour looks like it has invaded his lungs as shadows were seen on his chest xray this morning. They think the cause of his collapse is bleeding into his abdomen from the liver, but it may have stopped for now. This is all new from 6 weeks ago when none of this was seen on his imaging. Cannot believe how nasty this tumour is.

He has not had a very comfy night and is on IV pain relief. She has been told he most likely only has a few days. :(:(:(

She is just waiting for her sister to pick her up to go to Woody, she wants to spend the afternoon with him and speak further with the vets before making any decisions. She wanted me to post for her as she is understandably very upset and I am so pleased her sister is going with her.

Sorry for this news as there are loads of us who hold a special place in our hearts for this spunky little dog and his Mum.... Tracy my thoughts are with you today and I will be sending all my strength to you. Woody is such a special little man so please give him a cuddle from all of us xxxxxxxx

Thanks Trish for updating us all. Please let her know we all send love and are here for her. How terribly sad. Praying for dear Woody too. Kim

Thank you for posting the update Trish. It is all so very sad.:( xxxx

How very unfair and cruel life can be. I am so so sorry Tracy, I was holding out for a miracle for you both. I know you didn't want him in pain, I am so sorry to read he has been uncomfortable.

I have asked my Angel to watch over him for you.

I can find no words, only tears.

Thanks Trish. My gawd, so aggressive. The tears just won't stop this morning.
