Ok so it wasn’t yesterday it was last Tuesday.
Izzy got up And was fine. She went outside and then went back to bed. We got up a couple hours later and Izzy was limping. I thought she had gotten her paw caught under the bed so I kept an eye on her throughout the day, but didn’t see any improvement. Wednesday we went to her vet where they took and X-ray and we got that dreaded, awful call telling us our darling girl has a bone tumor.
at this point all we know is that the Dr believes it has not spread and is recommending amputation and chemo. We hope to know more tomorrow after our appointment with the oncologist.
I found the Tripaws website and it has been a huge help to read how other people and their pets have coped and to get an idea of the situations we might encounter. Like all other parents here my heart is breaking over what my girl is going to have to go through and feeling sorry for her and me, and feeling very ashamed for feeling sorry for myself. I know that we will deal with and handle whatever comes. It’s just a little new and raw right now.
It’s so okay and normal to feel what you are feeling. My Winston is 6 weeks post amputation, and while he is adjusting well to his new anatomy, I catch myself tearing up and feeling sorry for both of us.
Izzy will do great! You’ve got this, and know that you have a caring and supportive community on Tripawds.
Hugs,
Winston and Shelly
Hi Winston and Shelly,
Thank you so much. I’m crying right now and generally feeling sorry for us. I’m so grateful to have found tripawds. It really has been a help. Is it possible to read too much information? Right now I’m hoping for the best and trying to prepare for the worst.
Thanks,
Izzy and Melissa
Thanks and I’m so sorry, was being completely self involved. Please tell me about your Winston. Do you have a blog on here that I can read about him?
We will keep you in our prayers.
The more you know, the better prepared you are, so keep reading, yet try to think positively.
This site has been a blessing for us!
We will pray for good news.
Winston and Shelly
