It's not often that I post in here but I just need to voice what's going on in my head.

We dropped off our hungarian vizsla with the vet on Monday as we were concerned about the weigh loss. The bloods came back fine so they decided to X-ray. They let us know on Tuesday that they thought he had a rupture of the chest lining but it was operable. I took him to the specialist yesterday and they thought the same as our vet but then they called last night. He has a growth in his chest and w are now waiting to see if it is cancerous or not but the chance of survival is almost nothing. I feel absolutely heart broken and am crying whilst I write this. I know he is only a dog (and we have others) but he is only 7 and this isn't supposed to be happening. Also, could we have noticed it early and stopped it; I feel so guilty.

I am praying for a miracle as I don't want to lose him. I am sorry for rambling on but I needed to talk to someone and my husband is in just a mess as me.
 
So sorry, can't really offer any advice but do feel for you. Please don't blame yourself for not noticing anything earlier, if both the vet and specialist didn't realise there was a growth you certainly would not have been aware of it.
Sending loads of vibes that it is non cancerous, and hugs to you and your husband.
 
Again, i can't offer any advice but I can send you lots of support and good vibes.
I really feel for what you are going through. I too lost a dog at 7years old (to cancer of the liver) some years ago.
You just want to shout "it's not fair!" but we must always remember that we do the very best for our dogs and give them a good life whilst they are with us.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<vibes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
So sorry to hear about your boy!!! As others have said though, don't blame yourself, there isn't anything you could have done sooner.

Fingers crossed it will be a better outcome than the vets expect.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about your Vizsla. Please don't beat yourself up about things. You have done the best by him and you can't look at things in hindsight because life doesn't work that way unfortunately. It doesn't seem fair in a younger dog and is heartbreaking but please have comfort in knowing you have nothing to feel guilty for, its just life being cruel.

I have everything crossed for you and your boy that something can be done and he pulls through. Will be thinking of you today.
Flora sends you both a big sloppy Vizsla kiss too.

Please try not to blame yourself, sometimes dogs do not show symptoms because they are so stoic, sometimes these things do not cause them pain.
My old girl had a tumour almost as big as a football on her spleen and we had no idea, because she was always a big, deep-shaped dog and her frame hid it.

We did not find out until in time and while it was very sad, there is nothing we could have done, bless her, she was fit, active, doing huge walks, loving her food - she just showed no outward signs at all - so we like to think that she was happy, despite the growth.

Here's hoping your boy's condition is not so serious, thinking of you xxx
 
I'm sorry to hear about your boy.
Don't balme yourself. My girl had a tumor and showed no systoms at all untill one she started losing weight and being fussy, took her to the vets and after tests came back with a large tumor she was too far gone to save her. It was heartbreaking but there was nothing we nor the vets could of done.Hopefully you have caught it in time.
Hoping for the best for you.
 
Tests have come back inconclusive so he is having a further biopsy today, results to follow next week. We are keeping our fingers crossed but we know that there is a strong chance we are too late. Thank you everyone for your kind words x
 
I am so sorry - I know how worried, upset and emotional you are

Remember, there is no such thing as "what if" - it doesn't exist. You are obviously excellent owners and have done everything possible - fingers crossed xx
