Rylee and his lump = bone cancer. :(

[Godmother]

That is really good news. You've bought him some time, and maybe it won't be malignant. Kisses and scritches to Rylee!

Poor Rylee.

Great to have it gone I'm sure. Hopefully you get good news back.

YAY I'm so glad it turned out better then expected. YAY Rylee.

 

[Debbie]

I'm so sorry I'm chiming in late. I'm sorry to hear you and Rylee have gone through so much. :sad3: I do hope he'll be ok and the hystopath comes back with the news you want to hear. I will certainly keep you both in my thoughts! :hugs:

Thanks everyone, your support means a lot to me.
Tonight, Rylee is looking much better. He's really enjoying the Ensure and I bet he can't wait to have his metacam tomorrow. He's really going to need it because the vet had to cut away at some muscle.

 

[dubchick]

high fives to you and rylee... :heart: :heart:

 

[Shelley]

Hopefully the results will come back with good news. Fingers crossed for benign with no re-occurances.

 

[jorats]

He's doing loads better, especially after his metacam. He's back in the colony cage with his buddies. :joy:

Here's a pic when he fist came home:

And now back in the cage:

Sweet Rylee. I am glad all went well. Fingers crossed you get some good news with the test. Good Luck!

 

[Lina]

Ow ouch, poor wee guy, Good to hear he is getting better, he looks nice and snug in his hammock :heart:

 

[jorats]

This morning, Rylee was at the front of the cage with the others waiting for their out time. When I removed the bottom doors, the little bugger came popcorning out of the cage. Clearly he no longer needs metacam. :giggle:

 

[lilspaz68]

Looking good!!

 

[lindsayfawn]

that's so great to hear he's feeling better!

 

[Godmother]

That's great to hear!

:joy:

Unfortunately, it's bad news. It's Osteosarcoma. Bone cancer. :sad3:
It's very likely it will recur as well as spread. I am to give Rylee metacam every day and cold compresses. Both have shown to regress that cancer in dogs. She can't say if it's hereditary, but it seems to be familial. But hopefully just a fluke thing in Rylee.
Now excuse me while I go hug my Rylee. :cry3:

 

[Debbie]

Oh Jo, I'm so sorry to hear about Rylee. I do hope the meds will help keep him comfy for as long as possible.

I've heard that Steroids can help with wide spread cancer, though we haven't tried them yet here. A friend's little rattie girl was dianosed with a wide spread cancer of the blood (carsinoma??) and she did pretty well on Pred for a few months.

Gentle scritches to Rylee.

 

[SQ]

I am so very sorry ....
Hope the meds work extra wel in his case and give him a good quality life for a long time.

:hugs:

 

[lilspaz68]

I am so sorry Jo. I too am praying the pred keeps things in control for awhile for everyone's sake. :sad3: :hugs:

 

[Dahlas]

I am so sorry Jo....give him some extra kisses from me. Hopefully you have a while yet. It is the hardest part of loving these dear little guys.
