[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 667163, member: 5106"] I just thought I would share what has been going on with us since Monday evening. Steffie my beautiful 12 year old border collie and cow girl had trouble urinating and was extremely uncomfortable and in pain so I rushed her to the vets at 7:00 am Tuesday morning where she had ex rays and then an ultra sound. This was a whole day event running around from clinic to clinic. At 6:30 pm she had a "bed" waiting for her at the Western Veterinary Specialist & Emergency Centre in Calgary (2 hours away) and we rushed her there asap. Consulted with the Internalist(?) and checked her in. After a catheter and then more ex rays, ultra sounds and eventually a scope with the dreaded biopsy it was confirmed that she has urethral cancer which is very rare and effects only 2% of dogs. This is absolutely devastating to me (us) as most of you know we do not have children so my pets, especially Steff, fill my life . After speaking to her specialist earlier today we still cannot bring her home because she had a very bad day and they cannot start the meds or remove the catheter yet..So that does not sound good as the Sunday before the complete blockage we had ran 4 miles together and when I gave her a hug and kiss goodbye on Tues. she was still bright eyed and wagging her tail. I hope that she has a better night and they can start her on the meds asap so we can bring her home and she can fight this cancer.. So if you can all say a little prayer for us ,especially Steffie, I would greatly appreciate it..Now if I could only stop the darn water works.. Thank you, Wanda. [/QUOTE]
