I haven't been to boxerworld in some time but needed to talk about this. I got home today to a house that looked like a crime scene and my poor Lilly sitting on the couch in shock, literally.
There were blood pools in four or five places with other spots of vomiting. I immediately took her to the urgent care center and that's where she's spending the night. She was stable and wagging her little nub when I left.
I was told that she was in shock from losing so much fluid and blood. Her blood preasure and temperature were low and heart rate accelerated. They are running a full blood panel to look for any organ issues/diseases but I'm afraid it might be some type of digestive cancer. She had a tumor removed from one of her hind legs early November. It was a grade two. I'm afraid maybe the cancer spread. The vet suspects hemorrhagic gastreonits. Is anyone familiar with this condition?
Tomorrow they will be doing an X-ray of the stomach. I argued that maybe an ultrasound would be better that an X-ray but the vet did not agree.
I love this creature. She turned five in August and she has slept next to me since she was seven weeks old when I brought her home. She is my soul mate and has always been there for me.
