Dacia has a Tumor


  • Prayers from my home to yours.
    Do let us know how these tests come out.
    Gentle hugs….


  • Oh, poor baby. My thoughts are with you. Do keep us posted.


  • Well, we ended up putting Dacia to sleep today. She hadn't eaten in about 3 days, at least nothing substantial. She had lost so much weight in the last few weeks, she looked emaciated. She was officially diagnosed with lymphosarcoma. The vet said he'd never seen this in a dog so young. He reinforced our decision though by indicating the longer we waited, the worse it would get. Today is a sad day in our home…

    Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers.


  • I'm so sorry to read this Angie. I was hoping for a happy update. We're never given long enough with our pups, but less than 3 years seems like a great injustice. I don't understand why you were give this special little angel for such a short time. My thoughts/prayers are with you. I hope you can find comfort sometime in the near future.


  • Sorry to read this, I am keeping you in my thoughts.


  • I just want to say, I am so terribly sorry. I hope you can get through this, it's so bewilderingly close to what's happening to Lycia right now..I can imagine the pain you are going through.

    Our thoughts and good energy is going to you.


  • I'm so sorry to hear about this… just know you did all you could....


  • So sorry to hear about this..


  • Oh I am soooo sorry - I know it's not easy for you - hugs and prayers.


  • Oh, Angie. I'm so sorry. Sending you hugs and thoughts of pretty Dacia romping on the rainbow bridge. What a lucky dog she was to be loved by you.


  • I am at a loss for words to express how sorry I am. Sending hugs your way..

  • This is the hardest gift we can give our beloved dogs.
    The gift of peace, to be free of pain.
    I truely believe we see our dogs again, that they never truely leave us…they are with us always.
    Hugs, hugs, hugs.


  • :( I am so, so sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.:(


  • I am so very sorry. I can't even imagine how you must feel, losing one so young this way. A very sad day indeed.

  • loosing our beloved friend is one of the hardest things in life to face. She is no longer hurting , may that sustain you They unfortunately no matter how long we share our lives with them are only lent to us for a short time. Having just gone thru this in August I know how you feel. Your head knows it was right but your heart is broken. my deepest sympathies


  • I'm so sorry for your loss.


  • Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Dacia didn't make it. What a shock to have her go so quickly, though I suppose in some ways better than a long illness. Hugs to you and your family.


  • So sorry for your loss, but she is free of pain… and running free over the rainbow bridge with all that have gone before her....


  • Thinking of you and Dacia today. I hope your painful loss becomes easier to bear as time goes on; and I hope tomorrow brings some relief from your pain.

    Losing a family member is devastating. Our Baseji's ARE family.


  • Our sympathies and prayers are with you as you try to get through this difficult time! I'm so sorry you had to make such a tough decision with such a young and treasured dog, but she will watch over you, thankful that you freed her from her pain.

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

    One of the main things they looks for on fatty tumors is "is it connected"… or can you get your fingers around it... meaning it is not attached to anything.... usually when not attached to anything they are OK... just very "unsightly"....
