re: Found out today my dog has cancer

OP, sorry for the news. Set a budget and tell whatever provider you see what you can spend. You might be surprised what’s available and in your price range.

Helps to let the docs know what you can afford so they can map out a treatment without leaving you broke when all is said and done.

Good luck

Man this kills me, I have a huge soft spot for animals. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

Take solace in the fact that you gave her a good life, and she doesn't know that it's any shorter or longer than expected. She will never know that her life wasn't normal.

I can’t imagine. Prayers for you and your pup.

I'm sorry baw.

Sorry man. It’s hard but you gotta let her go. Maybe see if you can find a few days off to spend with the last day capped at being the vet visit. Then go back to work and stay busy.

That sucks.


I found out that my black lab had testicular cancer back in May. Luckily it had not spread so the poor ole boy just had to get neutered, but I was freaking out until we knew for sure.


























Now I cannot get his lazy arse off the couch.

I am sorry.

I held one of mine as she was put down. It was in New Orleans and the cancer that took her was very rare at that time in the New Orleans metro area. Diagnosis was by the LSU vet school who had seen it in some pets in Baton Rouge.

I had dealt with my Father's cancers four years earlier. Even though there was an attempt to remove my Father's lung, they got him open and then found more cancer.

I came away from the vets wishing that my Father could have been given a peaceful painless exit and that we treat our pets better than our loved ones with two (or less) legs.

Just show up at LSU vet school. No referral needed.

Until they got their own state of the art cancer center up and running, all the cancer pets were brought to Mary Byrd Perkins cancer center at night for treatment

I had to put my 3yr old bullmastiff mix down 2 years ago for lymphoma. Went to work and he was fine and came home and there was a softball size growth on his neck. From what I've read they are susceptible to lymphoma. Sorry for what you're going through. It's never easy.

I feel for ya buddy. Rough news.
