    Update; it appears it may either be a valve or a heart tumour. She's had more tests than Sachin Tendulkar this week. Valve is treatable, tumour isn't.

  • Best wishes for getting it sorted. Wouldn't want it to be either, but the treatable one is preferable.
    "Working" software has only unobserved bugs. (Parroty Error: Pieces of Nine! Pieces of Nine!)
    Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

    Sending positive thoughts and wishes, they are a part of the Family and you will do whatever you can and what is best for Winnie, cradling our Basset hound as it was put down ranks as one of the worst moments of my life so I understand completely

    Fingers crossed.
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Sorry to hear that James
    I have been through it many times with our Wolfhounds as they are very prone to heart issues
    The coughing is a result of the lungs not clearing due to the heart disfunction /pulmonary issue -they should give a diuretic such as Frusimide to stop water logging of the plural cavity and a heart drug such as Forticore.
    Heart tumours are very rare in dogs......but most Labs will have some degree of Cardiomyopathy by that age -the enlargement causes the heart muscle to become thinner walled and pump less strongly when contracting
    My sister is a vet .....I have been through these treatments and part of a test group under Dr Serena Brownlie who is the leading researcher of Heart disease in Dogs.

  • James,

    In our thoughts mate...

    I lost my Collie, Ben, about 2 years ago... and still miss him.

    But there is always hope, my friend, always hope :)

    Guys,
    So, it appears it may be a form of cancer in the throat

    As I type, we don't know until this afternoon if it's treatable or not. If it's a blood cancer, then it is. The position of it makes it inoperable.

    I'm not hopeful.

    She's not in massive pain, so that's good. Endoscopy and Biopsy now ongoing- will know more at 2pm

    Thanks for all well wishers and common sense talk. Apprc.

    Apols if I've been slow on a couple of payments and sending stuff out.

    Holy crap mate, so sorry to hear this :(

    My cat was diagnosed with cancer at the start of January - all you can do is wait for the results, and then just speak through what can be done with the vet.

    Fingers crossed it's treatable. Is she insured?

    Sorry to hear this. In the last 18 months we lost our 13 year old cat and 14 year old dog. It’s hard but when they get to that age you’ve got to be thankful for their good innings.

    Paws crossed for Winnie - I hope It’s not her time just yet. All the best.
