General Question Mammary Gland Cancer?? (Sally)

[minibull]

Thank you, 2BullyMama and bullmama! That means a lot. Am trying not to worry but I've never been much good at that. We are going to the vet today and I will update as we learn more. In the short time she has been with us she has had so many health issues. But she has been doing so well that we thought we were finally on track, at least for the near future! Hope this is just another blip on the health radar for her.

Well, good news. Not the same answer as Sally had, but the diagnosis is...

...False pregnancy!

Buttercup came to us unspayed. We have not yet spayed her due to multiple health issues then suspicion of recent heat cycle. Apparently even close proximity to an un-neutered male can stimulate ovulation when the dog is in heat. Buttercup hasn't been around other dogs much, but we do occasionally see some during our walks. So relieved and grateful to both our amazing vet and to the EBN community for all the support offered here every day.

Thought I'd update you all on Sally. Her mammary gland is now showing signs of full cancer. She was at the vet last month and it's going to her other side as well. But her main sweeling has gone from being soft and palable to hard as a rock. I noticed that on Friday. But it was today when Jack stiffed her on the teet this morning that made me go "huh" cause he never does that and then Wilson this afternoon shoving his entire head under her to get the teet that I took a good look at her. Her teet shown in the picture is oozing now. It's pretty clear but there's a faint blood to it, I do mean faint. She's quite raw on the teet too. It doesn't seem to be bothering her and she's been quite spunky lately. Her vet said the mammary gland removal surgery is too risky and intrusive for her at this age and her overall being, and I completely agree.

Here's her pics I took today. She's just such a sweatheart. I asked her today to lets have another Christsmas together.








And always a cooperative Angel

Oh Jeannie… NOT our sweet girl Oh how I hate hearing this, I'm praying for your sweet baby girl.

I had this calling to come here and read for some reason, and now I know why.... I'm so very sorry Jeannie and I will be praying hard for that Christmas together and longer.

You can rub some aquaphor on the teets to help soften them, may help with putting a barrier not to make them raw and sore. Hugs to sweet sally

Lisa, I have some and will put it on her teet now. I used some gold bond to help it out too. She's so full of spunk lately. Mike and I have even joked a few times on how spunky she's been the last several days. She even did two full runs yesterday, granted they were only 4 steps. lol

Oh Jeannie I am so sorry that Sally has been dealt this but she has the best Mummy to look and take care of her and so praying you get Christmas and much longer together.

Life really does Suck!

That she has. I needed this ole senior girl as much as she needed me and us. My heart was aching after losing Ace, and Orion. I truly had a whole in my heart missing the ole soulfulness that senior dogs bring and she completely filled it up and made me whole again. Her time is coming that I know and when it does come, while my heart will be heavy, my heart will be filled with joy knowing that I made a difference to a bully that was tossed aside into a shelter after being bred all her life. And for that I will cherish the time, love and countless giggles she gave me.
