Day 4

Yesterday Taff had a real bad day, he was not feeling well at all.
This mornig he did wag his tail when he saw me and he walks around much happier today!
Let`s hope this will continue untill he is completely back!
Later today we will have the results from his blood by the vet.

Day 3 after Taff his chemo therapy

Yesterday Taff was still very happy and lively, but in the evening he did not want to eat..
He ate someting but in the morning I found out he had soiled his crate..
Taff is obviously not feeling well :-(
Of course I have contacted the vet and he will examine Taff in a couple of hours.
My poor boy..

Day 1 after Taff`s first chemo therapy

Taff is doing great, his temperature is fine, he is not feeling sick, he is eating like normal, he is just being happy! I am so proud of my sweet boy, lets hope he stays this way!

A glimmer of hope

We know that Taff his cancer can not be cured.
We`ve heard about chemo therapy for animals before but nobody was very positive about it.
Untill the day we had the plumber at our house who told us about his dog who did very well with the chemo therapy and lived a happy 4 years extra!
Of course we have to be realistic, not every dog gets trough all of this in a good way and there are no guarantees given, but Taff is not ready to give up his life so I wanted to give it a try.

This morning I took my Taffie to our appointment with a vet who knows all about chemo therapy and Taff had his first..

This chemo therapy is a last glimmer of hope on a bit more time together.
We can only hope!

Very bad news

Taff his bloodtest came back but no strange things were found.
We carefully started to get hope again, maybe it was not so bad after all..
But we still had to wait for the results from the biopsy...

On the day we had to let Indy go, the vet told us that Taff was suspected of lymph node cancer.
Indescribable grief took over.

The discovery...

At the end of June (only a few days before we left on holiday to Austria) I felt a big lump in Taff his neck.
Of course I was shocked and asked the vet what this could be.
She could not give an answer right away, but we should come back in two weeks (when our vacation was over).

 

 

During our holiday we were worried about our Taffie because he continued to keep diarrhea.

He was clearly not in his best condition although he kept having fun!

So when we came home, we returned the vet and she took blood and a biopsy from one of the lumps, the other lymph node in his neck was now also swollen. His tonsils were also enlarged.
The biopsy would be examined and we had to wait for the results...
