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
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
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.

@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.
@PurpleDragon
At 11, he definitely has earned the right to be a couch potato ...
