hi 2 week ago my 11 and a half year old border terrier missiz started to act strange , staring into space couldnt settle ,i took her the vets she had a ultrasound ans they found nodules on her liver , they gave her 2 shots of predisnolone 5 days apart . now shes on steroids 5mg 1 a day shes lethargic and i think her stomach is swelling , tonight she was panting so ive put the fan on her shes now settled but shes drinking lots and eating very well , i always check her gums ive bought her a pram so as not to let her exhaust herself and she can still come on walks , i was worried about why she was panting as none of my other dogs was , and her breathing is a lot faster than my other dogs , i am so sad i watched her come into the world and ill be there when she leaves hartbroken

Could my dog Sammy still have a chance of survival of a supposed spleen and liver cancer diagnosis ? It was 2 weeks ago and he is getting quite week and I went there to fix the issue instead of being told "you don't want to really put him through this do you?"...well about roughly 8-10 days prior to his distended stomach I fell on his side tripping over a couple of my other dogs while getting them all in the house, I heard him wince a little and I didnt think nothing of it until my wife said Sammys' stomach is bloated so I took him into my regular vet and he did xrays but as many xrays there are not advanced enough to diagnose unless ultrasound, ctscan etc...so I had an appointment at Animal Surgeons of Michigan , but I couldnt wait a week so I went to OVRS and they said in an ultrasound that he had cancer and it is spread to his liver ,I wanted to operate this was my whole point of going to save him not to hear something bad and being talked out of it before I could even grasp the situation..so I opted to go back to animal Surgeons of Michigan 4 days later for a ctscan and I wonder why they didnt insist on a biopsy and drain the fluid instead of reading the ultrasound and perhaps having an opinion in mind regardless. Is there a chance even if it is a mass, tumors that it could had been benign ? This is a life my most precious boy Sammy I would like to think that NO HUMAN would put there child to sleep if ill and Sammy is our child as we do not have kids. MY regular vet accusses me of being in denial and said it 3 times in conversation while he admitted that he couldn't read an ultrasound or a cat scan...I told him that I am 57 yrs old and do not need anyone telling me that I am in denial..I took Sammy to these places to save his life for any period of time not to be talked out of it, now it may be to late and I am so brokenhearted what can I do now?

Our 9yr old boxer was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer in Sept last year. She has been under a vets care, on medications and abdominal fluid drained monthly. Last week she stopped eating. We have tried everything. She is drinking water and urinating. She is jaundiced. Had her to the vet yesterday and all lab work was not good. She is still alert, wags her tail and follows us around, but has not eaten in 7 days. She does not appear to be hurting. We are keeping her comfortable, but how long can she go without food

in November 2017 my Jack Russell (3YRS OLD?) was lethargic and not acting normal. I took him to my vet and blood work stated crazy high liver enzymes. We were sent to ER and he was there for 3 days had IV fluids, ultrasound, x-ray and they said it was hepatocellular carcinoma. no other blood work was done and $2000 later we went home to see what happens. Well its now July 2018 and were are still here and recent labs are totally normal. I give him SAM E, Tumeric , milk thistle and two other liver support items. I also give him alkaline water and he's been fine except for sometimes it seems sugar is low so we give him honey and he is fine. Do you really think it is a correct diagnosis?

Nikki dob 12/7/2010. About 2 years( Nov. 2017) ago noticed unusual breathing while Nikki was asleep. It was rapid breaths just like when awake, at about 60 breaths per minute, drinking lots of water and veracious appetite. She was a little overweight for a labrador-border collie mix (70 lbs). Vet did x-ray and lump in lung & found liver enzyme count off, urinary infection too. I had her drop 10 lbs so down to 60 lbs. Vet (Dec.2017) did an ultra sound & biopsy. No cancer in liver but liver enzymes off!! Wished then that the vet gave me more information on diet so I could of nipped this in the bud at the beginning. In mid-2018 had vet do another x-ray during annual check up & no lump in lung anymore. December 2018 X-husband and I split up and she went with him for a month. He gave her back to me due to urinating while laying down Jan 2019). Now I read stress will make this disease worse! Back to vet for urination issues. Found anal gland infection and did Cushing's test due to having all the same unusual habits as Cushings, no Cushing's. Also blood shows liver count higher. Had a ultra-sound done and she has 2 tumors on liver (Hepatocelluar-carcinoma)and a bladder infection again. Culture sent out on bladder infection to determine what antibiotic she can take for it as not to make liver worse. Next is CT scan to see if she is able for surgery. CT scan can be up to $1600 and surgery up to $5000. OR I may just find a holistic vet for more feedback first and help on a great diet and supplements (Sept 2019).
