Accidental Lurcher
I've been really quiet lately because Still Not Enough Sleep, and now Brad is catching that too.
Chance ran into something Friday that dinged him up in a way that looked really superficial, and then after he ignored it all day other than some introductory licks, he enlarged it Saturday, and it's in a bad enough spot that it needed stitches (because ( Read more... ) -
Aglty
I have been so sick I don't even. I think the proximate cause has been the poor sleep, even though I'm in recovery mode from that, and all of the extra bouncing from a tiggeriffic dog, which I am still getting used to.

Diagnosis
The lab results came back; he has liver carcinoma that sounds pretty advanced. They also found carcinoma cells in his abdominal fluids. Astonishingly, there is still hope that the medication can reverse this. We will know by next weekend ( Read more... ) -
State of the Cone
And alas, he's still coned when we can't supervise him, because the last thing we need is an opportunistic infection on his leg, and he's still in the habit of licking it ( Read more... ) -
(Selective) Cure for Cancer
Jack has metastatic lung cancer. We haven't found the primary tumor yet, but it's probably in his liver, and there might be some in his stomach as well ( Read more... )
