Fings a bit tense round ere.
Took eldest dog to the vets as she decided to basically not eat very much as of three days ago.
Story is something indefinable wrong with her liver function after blood test and liver function test, the ultra sound showed no tumour but a lot of "liquid", type unknown, where it shouldn't be, some denser than the rest. Vet saw no tumour and thinks it may be a problem in the tissue that surrounds "all" organs down there. She doesn't think it bodes well. The poor doggy has lost a lot of weight over the past few months. We just thought it was her getting scraggy as she is 15 and 1/2. She showed no other symptoms at all. But she has got wobblier of late to the point that I have to carry her downstairs as she is frightened of slipping on the tiled floor and stairs.
So she is on antibios for a week plus stuff to "help" her liver, then back for a check to see how she is getting on.
It's always sad when they come to the end. And she is such a lovely, gentle dog. Although she can be cantankerous sometimes!
