I wasnt really sure where to post this so I apologize in advance if its the wrong spot.

It turns out my poor sweet baby didnt have a chance in the world. Here are the results of her necropsy from The University of Tennessee Veterinary Teaching Hospital....

Diagnoses:
1) Abdominal Effusion
2) Severe Pleural Effusion
3) Mitral Valve Endocardiosis
4) Stage V Lymphosarcoma (axillary, inguinal, mediastinal, mesenteric, perihepatic and peripancreatic lymph nodes; Liver; Stomach; Pancreas; Spleen and Lungs)

I cant believe I didnt realize how sick she really was! In a way, the results set my mind at ease because I know there was ABSOLUTELY no way anyone could have saved her. She had cancer in literally EVERY lymph node and virtually every organ with the exception of her heart which apparently had a disease of its own. It just makes me so mad because I took her to the vet 6 months before she died and they never even thought cancer....WHY NOT????

Wow, what a roller coaster of emotions. In one day I have gone from happy to sad to angry and everywhere in between.

I miss her so much.

Im glad you got the results and they put you at ease. Thats how i felt when my baby boy past and started reading a few threads on similar situations. We always think what if and it just kills us. Lets just think happy thoughts about our babies and we will make it through this.

I am sorry to hear about your loss.
Our Quincy also showed no signs that he was sick.
He was happy and playing one evening, then colapsed and died the next morning.
It was a shock to learn he had a tumor on his lung that bled out leading to his death.

But, maybe it is sometimes better that we don't know. I am sure in Quincy's case, there would have been nothing they could have done for him by that time.

Please know that I am thinking of you and your loss and the pain you must be in.
Princess will be waiting for you at the bridge with her little nub wagging when she meets up with you again.
God Bless.

It's so sad to learn that so much was going on inside of your precious Princess. :( - in retrospect, I wish I had requested one when my boy passed. So often, serious illness isn't known until it's so far advanced or it's too late. I can so understand all of your mixed feelings, and the questions. I wish we still had our babies - I miss my boy still so very much. We will see them again some day. Hugs

I'm so very sorry you had to go through all of this. Now you know for sure you couldn't have done anything different. Understandably you are hurt and angry and like you said everything in between. I hope each day gets a little easier for you. Rest in peace sweet Princess. angelicon Hugs.

Callie -

I am so sorry that Princess 's precious body was so overtaken with cancer. My Cassie died of cancer that had overtaken her stomach and we never knew until the day we lost her :(

You were a wonderful "Mom" to her and through the poems you have written of your beauitful girl, she was truly loved.....

so sorry
