FOO News

[davidc4430]

As can be seen in the photo, Foo has had a blood test done today.

i noticed a swelling on his snout on friday morning so took him in to the vets friday afternoon.

the swelling is thought to be a tooth abcese.

whilst at the vets the vet noticed looking at Foos weight he had lost over 2 kilos since last december and about 5 kilos in a year!

hence the blood test, i will get the results tomorrow afternoon.

hes on anti biotics for his swelling and its allready gone down since friday.

the vet his holding off on the tooth problem until she gets the results from the blood test.

hes 11 years old, i'm not panicing but i am worried.

fingers crossed its not what it might be, cant even say it.

Oh David I've only this minute seen this ......

What to say other than I am thinking of you and the worry you are going through

we all know how much you love your Foo

I'm glad you'll get the results soon

And as Lyndal said there can be many reasons why a dog

loses weight not all bad.

Please keep us informed

And Lyndal, my thoughts for you as well.  .

Thank you for your thoughts bright.ton but it is a very long time ago now.

The little fella lasted just over 11 months on chemo with no visible effects...it was only the last 4 days that there was a visible deterioration and it hit me like a bomb that he was on borrowed time.  Previously I was in denial because he appeared very normal and was happy to take his tablets at home and his regular visits to the vet were treated as a day out to socialise with the nurses.

Good morning Foo,

I am waiting for you to clock in with good news.

[tasfleur]

I'm waiting anxiously for news about Foo;  hoping it will be good news, but if it's not, that whatever it is can be treated and Foo will be bouncing fit again ...

That - at least should keep you a bit amused.

Difficult to get ' pet food ' in Tassie.

I imagine they have litte wheels to run around though.
