Poorly dog

Glad to hear that Lizzie's fully recovered, David. It's always a worry when our pets have to make an unscheduled visit to the vet and a relief when they're back to full fitness.

Took our Murphy to the Vets today, he is 8 years old and such a gentle chap. Murph has a lump near his bum, the Vet examined it & it's a malignant carcinoma that is aggressive and will spread. The Vet said the tumour might be operable, but we're buying time not a cure.

We are devastated. Here is a photo of him taken last summer.

Oh no, what terribly sad news for you. We really feel for you as we lost our precious Scooby in January and she was only 3. After the operation, is there any further treatment that could be offered such as chemotherapy?

please let us know how things go as we are keeping everything crossed for you and Murph.

That is such sad news, fb, particularly as it appears to have come out of the blue. I can only imagine how devastated you must be feeling, but I am sure whatever decision you come to will be in Murphy's best interests.

Will be thinking of you.

Thanks Moulsey & Kerry.

We've just had a call now from the specialist he goes in next Wednesday. We've read up on the specialist Vet & she seems highly qualified. Murph is our treasure & we've both said whatever time he's got left we're going to spoil him. This starts on Thursday where we're booked  into a site on Anglesey by the beach (he loves the beach) for 3 nights. Will let everyone know how Murph gets on.

It was out of the blue Moulsey, he just went in for his 12 month booster.

So sorry to hear your sad news fb, I'm sure you will do whats best for him. Hope his quality of life stays good for a while yet. 

Really sorry to read that news. He looks a lovely dog. I hope that the treatment helps him.

So sorry to hear this, Fingers crossed for the best possible outcome.

So sorry to hear about Murphy. Give him lots of love and cuddles, he's gorgeous.
