Our Oldest Bichon May Have Bladder Cancer

[Pecos]

My wife drove Lilly, our oldest Bichon up to a specialist for her semi-annual IBS checkup this morning and while there they discovered that she has also a nodule in her bladder that may be cancerous. More testing is being done to determine how serious the situation is. Lilly is an exceptionally precious dog. Lilly is not quite 11 years old yet.

Please keep your fingers crossed for us.

I know nothing about bladder cancer in dogs, but with any luck, if Lilly, does indeed have it, I'm hoping they can successfully operate.

She's far too young to depart this world yet.

Will have my fingers crossed.

So sorry to hear that @Pecos ... I hope it isn't cancer. Prayers sent for Lilly.

I'm so sorry. It sounds like you take exceptional care of your pets. I hope all works out for more years ahead.

I will do this. She is a most affectionate lover dog and is generous with her doggie kisses.

I just saw this, I'm sorry it may be cancerous. Do you have an update on Lilly yet?

 

[SmoothSeas]

yeah, what's the latest...?

Thanks for asking my friends. @Ruthanne @SmoothSeas @Keesha

Nothing yet, we are waiting for the test results and hope to know by Monday afternoon. I gather that the tests are pretty specific since our home town Vet does not have the ability to conduct them here. The two test have to be done on special equipment that is located in an animal hospital about 70 miles away.

Needless to say, we are on pins and needles around here right now. We have already decided that we will not put a dog who is nearly 13 years old through chemo, so we are praying that it is something else. or that it can be treated in a milder way.

Of all the dogs that I have ever owned, Lilly is probably the sweetest of them all.

Keep her in your prayers please.

So sorry to read this. My thoughts are with you. Waiting is so hard and I know Lily is just like a family member.

fingers crossed for dear Lily and you, Pecos.

We just got the news that our Lilly does have cancer. My wife is taking her to a specialist to find out if it has spread beyond the bladder and how we can best deal with it. We need to know how much longer she will live and how we can give her a graceful end if it comes to that. Lilly is almost 13 and has been a lovely wonderful dog.

My wife and I are in a bad place right now, so send us some prayers and good karma.

Absolutely prayers and good thoughts coming your way Pacos. I hurt for you because we lost our dog a few years ago to cancer.
