re:chemo Cathy, I forgot to add that we did not do any chemo either. In researching this type of tumor it didn't seem to help anyway and the life span was the same. I wanted the quality of her life to be as good as possible and it was for the past five months. We spoiled her!!! Rhonda

hemangiosarcoma I am going through the end stages of this dreadful disease with my white boxer, Sayge, right now. She was diagnosed in July of this year when she had periods of of weakness and was not able to hold her weight on her her back legs. Her abdomen was also "spasming". We had the...

to Denise or Elyse Do you guys remember a post about a boxer who had the hemangiosarcoma removed and lived for several months but then got hit by a school bus? I have tried to find that post but I can't now. I read it on here when the April posts were available when I first joined. Let me...

I laughed when you said she hides the pills in her cheeks - they have soo much extra skin there they can hide about anything!! And you are right - they do spit them out later. Sayge is on antibiotics right now (prophylactic) for suspected UTI. She takes her pills ok but does hide them...

I have a white boxer also and she has the same spots. She is 7 now and the ones on her back have almost merged together although she does have some pink still showing through. I think this is just how their skin gets as they get older. It looks really funny when their fur is wet. They are...

thanks for support Hi all, Thank you all for your support and all your letters. Sayge is feeling well. We had to do some kidney function tests because when she became ill last week her BUN and Creatinine were out of whack. I got good news today that they are back to normal. Her heart...
