Auto immune… cancer

Fingers crossed for Scout today

Postponed until Monday. But thank you.

Any suggestions for relaxing entertainment for a stressy dog on cage rest who will have had a lump cut off from under his tongue? Which is kind of ruling out Kongs or cows ears (my two go tos).

mild sedation?

Ask the vets they can prescibe tradazone I think it is (used for broken/fractures limbs usually)

Vet just rang. He’s low on folate which suggests a malabsorption issue. Still going in on Thursday morning.
We are hoping they’ll find an old lump of sock in his gut somewhere.

Malabsorption explains the skinniness. Are they going to open him up for an exploratory?

That wouldn't surprise me!

I was chatting with the senior small animal vet at the local practice the other day, she was telling me all the things they have had to remove from dogs over the Christmas/NY period. All sorts of stuff that they shouldn't have, including weirdly, hot cross buns(!). A lot of it included packaging that was just collateral damage.

She said that if the miscreant wasn't a Lab, it was most likely to be a Beagle or a Spaniel.

Fingers crossed that's all it is.

Not unless something shows on the scans
