At the vet, Ace getting an x-ray on that leg. Vet thinks might just be degenerative joint disease. Which I'll take over cancer any day ๐ค#dogsofcoso
So the BEST news!! I took Ace to a different vet for a second opinion. Shelled out $$ for another round of x-rays and this vet said he saw NO sign of cancer and that a CT was not necessary. (saving me between 3-5k)!!
He did put him on a prescription diet lol
So glad I got a 2nd opinion.

@PurpleDragon
Keep us posted. ๐ค
@h2oaddicted If you hear swearing it will not be good
@PurpleDragon gonna hope for a big TF itโs just arthritis
Hoping for the best for Ace
So sorry, @PurpleDragon. I hope it turns out for the best. ๐ค
@cmskiera Thank you ๐
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Yep... just hope they find nothing but arthritis
@PurpleDragon if so, consider #remicade. Yes I am.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN thanks. If it is I'll look at that, thanks!
@PurpleDragon thanks for the update on Ace.
How are you doing?
@Airborne_Frog Thanks! I truly don't think Ace has taste buds given the things I've seen him eat in the pasture lol Diet food shouldn't throw him off too bad
Food is food and it can still be made yummy. I have the same problem with my boys. keeping it yummy and still keep 'em lean and mean #Furmissiles
@Airborne_Frog And yours work harder than Ace, he's good for holding down the couch. But at 11 yo I don't blame him.
At 11, he definitely has earned the right to be a couch potato ...
So happy for you both! ๐
@Agatha Thanks, it was a huge relief
@PurpleDragon Yay!! So happy for you and Ace โค๏ธ
@PurpleDragon What a sweet face. I'm so glad you got better news!
@quietcomposer Thank you, he is one of the sweetest. But then aren't they all ๐
FUCK, vet said x-ray inconclusive. Took a sample of the joint fluid and found traces of blood. Said not bone cancer but couldn't rule out soft tissue cancer.
Said a CT scan would be better diagnostic. So now we'll have to make a trip to the city sometime in the next couple weeks.
In the meantime pain meds and lots of extra loving ๐๐๐๐
