Hey OSO, Andrew is looking for a 20 Baja OL or a 22 Scarab. Let's help him. |
Carrie, so sorry to hear about your pooch it is so hard to decide what's best because they can't tell us how they feel
Andrew welcome aboard, glad we finally have a vet as a member:cool-smiley-026: since so many of us are pet lovers there are lots of threads about our four legged friends, hopefully giving us advice will not become a full time job:D |

It's true that using a needle to test a bladder tumor can be bad -- it can seed tumor cells all along the tract where the needle passes, through the abdominal wall. However, passing a urinary catheter into the bladder, and then "massaging" the surface of the suspected tumor with the catheter, can dislodge cells that might allow a diagnosis. Without knowledge of what the real issue is, it's tough to say what the right course of action is. I noticed you said that the tech told you there was a tumor -- did you speak to one of the veterinarians about it? Based on the ultrasound, is it obvious that surgery is not an option??

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

No, surgery is not an option based on where the tumor is located. With humans it is but it is not an option to put a bag on a dog. She said it was at the end of her bladder and on into the utheria(sp?). I believe that is why she is having trouble controlling her bladder.

Julie Ocg- I did get in contact with my mother up north about the bladder cancers we had experience over the years with our elderly Scotties, and she remembers the cases that were treated in Madison at U of W. The dogs were treated for the bladder infections/inflammations that were associated with this condition, and it did give them some relief. Unfortunately, with our pets at that time, the surgery and chemotherapy options were found to be to invasive and dangerous to the dogs due to their advanced age and the size/location of the tumors. You have two great universities there in Kansas- have you considered taking Cheyenne to one (I would guess one of the two or both have vet schools) to get an opinion there? My heart goes out to you and I wish you the best with all of this! Jim |
