Pray for SKIPPER!

Slapped way too hard in the face today!

Sadly we have been taking Skipper for tests all day! He has cancer that if operated on will spread or make him hemorrhage. Horrible!

So very upsetting so we are treating him as if we are running a Hospice with pain meds and vitamins and lotsa love.

So shocked and saddened by this news, yesterday he was fine and today...he was stopping in his tracks as if posing but with his head and tail down unable to move and not eating. He had blood work X-rays in Punta Gorda and then we were sent to Ft. Myers for an ultrasound.

They said his spleen could be removed and that his two blood works at the two offices had him being severely anemic and both the X-ray and the ultra sound showed growths in his stomach and liver that were significantly large and that it could metastasize by being touched even by biopsy. He had lost weight but not too significant. And so we picked up Nutri Cal for him to maybe eat and with vitamins in it too and they gave us Tramadol for him to take every eight hours for pain... He is home with us, since the percentages for him to survive any invasive surgeries/ideas were not good. We did consider less invasive procedures with needle biopsy but that too had a chance of not getting the right growth and getting the right result or worse nicking it spreading it throughout him causing  hemorrhaging!

 Long day... I have cancelled all doctors appointments today and tomorrow and no rehab until we know what’s what. He misses us too much and we really feel as if we should/could not leave him alone…
This is breaking both of our hearts, but sadly we have been through it too many times before…
