2 out of 3

Well, we got the report back. One of the tumors was benign. The smaller one was a stage 1 but since it was removed it shouldn’t give him anymore problems. The huge one, the reason we took him in, turned out to be stage 3. The vet wants us to keep him on Prednisone because the long term effects aren’t as important as the short term ones. At this point we are trying to keep him as comfortable as possible. He is still very alert, eating well, and not having trouble going to the bathroom. 

We are going to measure him tomorrow for a support suit. Has anyone tried them?

Thanks for the support!!! I will post pictures tomorrow as well!

Introduction to Deebo

Deebo is a Leonberger/Chow Chow mix. I adopted him from the shelter when he was a fluffly little ball of fur. They thought he would be about 50-60 pounds full grown but grew to over 100! He was the ringbearer in my wedding. He is the little love of my life. Deebo turned 10 in Novemeber.  He had his front leg amputated in January because he had a large cancerous tumor. Last Thursday he had 3 tumors removed. I am waiting for the results of the biopsy.
