Palfy Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Had to take Coco to the vets today she hadn't been looking to happy since yesterday, got the sad news that she has a growth about the size of a tennis ball attached to her Spleen. She has a big operation tomorrow to remove the growth and spleen, I will stay up with her tonight to help make her feel a bit more comfortable as she's in a fair bit of pain and struggling to settle. Keep fingers crossed for her please folks she is a beautiful dog with a really fantastic personality, she's only turned 8 this month and I was looking forward to another 4-5 years with her.

Palfy Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Just thought I would let you know Coco made it through the op which took over 3 hours, she's making a good recovery and may possibly be home tomorrow if all goes well tonight. Then the long wait to see where her spleen was full cancer, hopefully it will prove to be benign, and I can then concentrate on what I need to do when looking after a dog without a spleen, because when humans lose their spleen it's quite a big deal. Any how appreciate you listening to me, it's been good to talk and has helped me move forward. Sibdane, Matt and Romey 1878 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is thanks mate, picked her up earlier today from the hospital for pets believe it or not, she was transferred there yesterday after the op from the vets, £351.00 for the night with breakfast scandalous, could have had a day and night all inclusive in a beach villa for 2 in the Maldives for that. Back to the vets tomorrow morning for check up and some advice for the next few weeks of her treatment and recovery, then fingers crossed all should be good Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dunlopp9987 Posted October 13, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 What timing for this thread to pop back up. I'm currently looking to adopt a dog for the first time. Lots of tricky things about dog owning. Can be very expensive, flying with them (as I'm back and forth between Minnesota and NYC somewhat frequently.) I almost adopted a mini labradoodle this week, but upon doing some digging into the "shelter", found that there's plenty of reports about it being a less than reputable organization. I don't see too many shelters who somehow have all these litters of designer breeds like cockapoos and labradoodles. So I'm going to an adoption event next weekend. Adopt a Pet are waving their adoption fees here in NYC for the month of October due to such overcrowding at shelters, so I'm hoping to find my perfect buddy MikeO, Sibdane, Romey 1878 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here, they are overwhelmed right now, and many dogs/puppies are having to be put down. We adopted a puppy about three months ago, and I was more careful this time around from where we adopted. I took the time to study online all shelters within two hours' drive, and ended up very much respecting a small shelter in east Alabama. They are a no-kill facility, they receive no state funding, but they do a superb job and people travel from other states to rescue dogs from there. I've found myself donating food etc. to them even after adopting. I'm sure there are plenty of similar humane societies where you live. dunlopp9987 and Palfy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's our Piran shortly after he was spotted in a roadside ditch and taken to the humane society. When rescued, he was so weak he couldn't even stand, apparently. And here he is just eight weeks later... Now he's doubled his weight since adoption and continues to grow. It turns out his mother is a pedigree Dalmatian, while his father is a total mutt (discovered after using Wisdom Panel). Clearly, a breeder got a shock when a litter was born that was not 100 percent Dalmatian puppies and quickly dumped them before anyone found out. (The American Kennel Club recognizes pedigree puppies from a mother's first two litters only, so the owners probably hid what happened so they wouldn't lose many thousands of dollars.)

Popular Post dunlopp9987 Posted November 4, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Well after having wanted a dog of my own for almost a decade now, I finally went and did it. His name is Chase, he's a 2 1/2 year old rescue. They think he's probably a pit/hound mix. He's an absolute dream at home. So chill, snuggly, sweet. He has some pretty bad leash aggression when seeing other dogs, so that's something that we're going to continue working on. But that's truly the only knock against him, and I feel confident it's a trainable thing. It's only been 5 days, but I'm head over heels in love with him Palfy, Sibdane, MikeO and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
