Tilly on Saturday

Back from the vet's. The x-ray showed a suspicious area. She is to get an ultrasound Monday morning. He said he palpated her stomach really well and couldn't feel a mass. Then had another vet do the same thing with the same result. It could possibly be a tumor, but no way to know right now. He also said it would make sense with the higher than normal white count. He is not trying to scare us, just saying it's possible. The ultrasound may show nothing and we'll be back to square one. He did take two x-rays to make sure it wasn't a fluke the first time.

He gave me his email address to keep in touch this weekend and ask any questions.

If she hasn't started to eat by Monday, they will probably put in a stomach tube.

I was hoping to hear some better news. I'm so worried about Tilly. I'm going to have to find a way to check in on Monday, so I can see what you find out.

Sally, thanks for update. Wish it was better news, but know that the Toronto pugs are all thinking of you and of Tilly

Sally, I was hoping for better news too for Ms. Tilly. Keeping you in my thoughts!

Darn. But I'm glad you have such an understanding vet whom you can contact over the weekend. Keep us posted.

It sounds like you have a very good dogtor. I will be thinking of you and Tilly, and you both are in my practice.

Poor little Tilly, I hope she feels better. I know how worried you must be. It sounds like you have a good vet.

Oh Sally, I was hoping for good, "she's eating!" kind of news. Continued prayers from Virginia.

Aw Sally you must be so nervous. I will be thinking about you and Tilly all weekend and will be anxious for Monday to hurry up and come along. Hopefully things will improve.

((hugs)) for you and Tilly. I have to ask, have you tried the plain chicken baby food? At Blanche's suggestion we tried it with Chloe and it's the only thing she'll try when her tummy is upset from chemo.

I haven't tried chicken baby food, but I have tried chicken with broth. No dice.

Try the baby food. It's worth a try. Chloe will turn her nose up at pureed chicken and rice and will go right for the stinky baby food. Then I mix a little with rice and she starts eating again.

I bought some of this stuff this afternoon. I thought it couldn't hurt. I put it on my finger and stick it in her mouth.

I know it's not food, but maybe a little helpful.

That's what the vet had me giving Aggy when she wasn't eating.

I'm still praying that it's nothing serious with Tilly. I'll be thinking of the both of you.

I was hoping to check in and find better news on Tilly also. My thoughts are with you and her.

I went and bought some chicken baby food. No dice. I put some on her tongue anyway. I think she's starting to hate me.

I'll hope for some good results on Monday - or at least some answers.

Lots of prayers for your girl Sally. Hope you get some good news soon.

I am sorry to be catching up and hearing what a tough time Tilly had been having, I knew she was sick from the food, but that must have been So hard to go through :(
