That was one of the reasons the vet doesn't think it's a steroid-producing tumor; Roxanne is most certainly not a victim of the weight gain that usually acompanies Cushings.
The type of tumor they think she has is some specific, reasonably rare adrenal tumor. I can't remember the name though, but I bet you know it.
all the blood is just filling up the abdomen and slowly pushing the diaphragm so they can't breathe.
I have absolute faith that, if this should happen to Roxanne, she'll pop like a tick at the end of it all. I wonder if having your dog explode and get guts everywhere voids your security deposit?
Anyway, they're not going to get to remove any tumors anyway. I can't afford any more hound surgery, and she's too old to try extending her life another six miserable months by trying to surgically treat a metastisized cancer. And they want to do a CT scan on her before making any surgical decisions, which alone costs enough that I could just get a different basset hound and throw Roxanne in the dumpster.
I don't want Roxanne to die.
I really don't either. :(
feed her a happy meal before she dies- okay?
Like a Happy Meal from McDonald's, or just a meal that will make her happy?
