Goldens are the best. I’m glad your vet caught it. Your baby looks like my childhood golden and I just want to snuggle her. Hoping for the best for her <3
I hope you find out more about what's going on and how to move forward with her care soon. Good catch on the vet's part!
She’s always been overweight, full of lipomas, and potbellied, so it was hard to palpate on a physical exam. It just happened to be the way she was laying that made the doc look at her sideways. I’m just glad it was caught. It really sucks but at least knowing about it gives us options. It’s better than waking up one morning and having her gums pale and her collapsing or something. Unfortunately a coworker just lost a dog a week ago to a ruptured splenic mass that she didn’t know about so in some sense, I’m grateful it was caught.@alissa14 I’m so sorry to hear that This is why I do a full exam on every patient every time.
A PRECIOUS BBTechnically still dependent on everything working out with introductions to the cats but...this is Margo

Your babe is so cute, I’m glad the vet caught the abnormality of PE! I hope the ultrasound reveals something manageableView attachment 311646
my sweet baby
I’m so sorry
I feel like I know exactly who you’re talking aboutor we could bring in the surgeon who does soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries at my clinic.
Also, HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY TO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BB
so Annabeth turned 10 today!
Dr. Gumbs?I feel like I know exactly who you’re talking about
You’re SE MI right? Or are you somewhere else in the state
Dr. Gumbs?
My big dog loved this bed there’s a waterproof cover over the memory foam and then a washable cover overtop of that. He had that bed for a looooooong time and it has now been passed onto another dog family since he died last fall.View attachment 312670 View attachment 312672
What is everyone's favourite dog beds? Preferably something that washes easily/has a removable cover and doesn't run hot? Trying to break the dogs of sleeping on furniture/beds before we move and figure a nice dog bed might help..
He’s a great surgeon. He does a lot of orthos at my clinic for our clients. It’s nice because that means I’ll get to be there and watch. I imagine the mass will be quite large and I’m curious lolYeeeeeep
I’ll be keeping your pup in my thoughts and sending hugs to you<3New update for anyone still following this journey. Annabeth’s bloodwork came back abnormal. Her pro-BNP was high and her lipase and amylase were high. So she likely has acquired cardiomyopathy. Also she may have pancreatitis which could be a result of the mass pushing on her pancreas or she could have pancreatitis. I’m terrified at the thought at her crashing on the table or crashing afterwards. Ultimately, she is my brother’s dog and he wants to move forward. I’ll be there at the clinic filling in for the tech who will be assisting and my brother wants to wait in the parking lot while she’s under. I’m just praying all goes well. This is probably the hardest decision I’ve had to make about a pet because this time, I’m an adult who is preparing to enter the veterinary field. Please say a little prayer for my dog tonight.
I just realized what was on your computer screen in the pic with Twitter's head on the keyboardIt’s Twitter’s 7th birthday! And the first one we get to celebrate with her!
Oh alissa, I’m so very sorryFinal update on Annabeth: it is with a heavy heart that I tell you all that she passed away last night at the ER. After taking her home I just didn’t think she seemed right. I took her temp and it was 105.7. I rushed her back to the ER to find out she had a lot of abdominal bleeding and there was nothing the doctor could do except let her pass peacefully. My heart is completely broken and I’ve shed many, many tears. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. She was the sweetest girl and will be truly missed...
