    Eyes go bad fast… you do not want a rupture. Please get the dog to the specialist as soon as you possibly can.

    Just read this entire thread and my goodness!!!! What a wonderful load of memories you'll have of her, what a trooper! No words for feelings at this time, just prayers and time for your healing. But what a gal! indeed!

    Joe Mallozzi had it done with his very old pug and got good results– from ready to put down to able to get around and live a normal life. LOL Mallozzi is the only blog I read, every day. It is --- dogs, food, science fiction stuff, dogs, food, food, food, dogs, sci fi, dogs, food. You can follow the stem cell story starting here: http://josephmallozzi.wordpress.com/2010/07/13/july-13-2010-this-blog-goes-to-the-dogs-again-some-house-of-suns-discussion-and-the-mailbag/

    My Senja was diagnosed Jan. 18, 2014 with diabetes. After over 2 months on insulin and more tests she was still getting worse, losing weight, not eating and vomiting orange stuff. I took her to a more advanced Vet/Hospital and she had more test, x-rays and an ultrasound. The new vet found a large mass connected near the bile duct and pancreatic duct going to the stomach. He said it couldn't be removed. I tried some meds including the insulin for a few days then quit them all. She hasn't vomited and has been eating various foods and treats. She is still very thin and is now drinking lots of water. I'm wondering if I should give her insulin again if it would do any good. I know she doesn't have much time left, I just want her to feel as good as possible. I have a pain medication suspended in a gel to give orally when or if she seems to need it, but hasn't so far, it will make her sleep a lot. Guess you all know how heartbreaking this is and part of me wishes I would have gotten the second opinion right away in January.

    I just talked to one of the geneticists working with this group yesterday at the ACoD. They are also looking for bitches who had mammary tumors. If I understood correctly they may also consider other cancer types if they can get 60 dogs of the same breed with the same type of cancer.

    I have never heard of this either, but it seems very rare, so my take on it, would be rather get my dog back if lost, then not take the chance because of a very rare case of cancer… Shoot, you get cancer just breathing the air now a days..
