View Full Version : I wasnt going to tell
But my darling Blue is going blind in one eye.
I had him to the Vet on Friday (I got a reprieve from the twins) and he confirmed it.
He has also wet the kitchen floor two days running.
The Vet wants to do a brain scan. I dont want him to do it. I guess I'm too afraid of what it might reveal after what he said (consistant with a tummer) Oh God what do I do? Blue is only four and a half years old.
The Vet also said that it's consistant with his back end going every now and again.
I'm really at my wits end, I love him so much

So sorry to read this Jac, but if you do go with a scan at least you will know what you are up against.
Has the vet mentioned any treatment if it is a tumour?

Jac, I am so sorry to read this! ((((((hugs))))))). I think you need to have the scan done hun!
jac im so sorry to read this,poor blue :(,i really think you should get the scan done
Jac although you may not realise it, being so upset but you have answered your own question - with your last sentence... I'm really at my wits end, I love him so much....therefore you know the only thing to do is to have the scan and take it from there.
Jac, I am so sorry to read this! ((((((hugs))))))). I think you need to have the scan done hun!
I know, I do, but I'm afraid. I know it may sound stupid but he's like part of me. When I'm bad he knows and never leaves my side, when I'm good he acts up:-D wanting to play all the time. He's just special. He accepts everyone and everything. :cry:
In a way I dont want to know. Yet I do. Does that make sence?

Of course it makes sense Jac! But at the moment you're in denial mode. In a couple of days when you can thinks straight, you'll realise that having the scan done is the only way to go, then you can find out what you are facing and get started on any treatment needed. Just now you're hoping that if you ignore it, then it's not real!!! Sending lots of love! xx

No he didn't, I did ask but he said untill we had a scan, he wouldn'd commit (sp) himself.
I was to think about it and phone him on Monday with what I wanted to do. The only way to scan him is under anistetic, being a boxer that holds worries too.
I know he will get it done, I love him too much not to. God I dont know where my heads at. Sorry girls.

Oh Jac i'm so sorry, you need to get the scan done otherwise you will wake up wondering 'what if' every morning. At least if you get it done you will know what is wrong with Blue and can go from there. It could also be something else very treatable and not a tumour, but you won't know unless you have it checked out.
I know what you are going through. Hugs to you and Blue. :( xXx

You come and vent on here when you need to Jac! He's not now, nor ever will be 'just a dog!'. He's Blue, a big part of your family.

Some people simply don't get the incredible bond we have with our animals, and just don't understand! Try to disregard it, hard, I know, and just do what you know needs to be done to help Blue. lots of hugs and good vibes from here, Jac!
Thank you all. Had to go away for a bit, tears streaming down my face. Thank you for being so supportive. xx

Oh really sorry to hear this Jac.
Gather your thoughts & phone your vet on Monday.... your vet would not be recomending Blue having a scan if it wasn't needed.
Have the scan, just so you can rule out anything nasty.;) Be positive.
My dog was more-or-less diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago...but was having a x-ray just to confirm..the x-ray undiagnosed it & it was actually just an infection in her leg. :roll: So you don't have to think it's all doom & gloom, it may well be just to rule out the possibility of a problem. ;)
im so sorry to hear about blue.fingers crossed.
some of my family are like that they just laugh at me cos i treat them like my babies.which they are to me.
they really dont understand the love you get from them & how much you love them.
but please please have the scan done jac. we are all here for you dont forget that.
lots of love & hugs to you & blue.

Poor Blue - I am sending many positive vibes your way....
Lots of hugs to you and Blue.
Please let us know what the vet says xxx
Jac - so, so sorry to be reading this, and you've only just really got Blue back with you :( However as all have said, until you have the scan done you won't know, and when you get it done you will at least know what you have to deal with - if anything.
Lots of love to you, to Blue and to the whole family of which he's an all-important part. Hugs.

So sorry to read this Jac, I know how important Blue is to you. I think you should have the scan done .......for Blue's sake. If you don't know what the cause is, the vet won't be able help Blue at all and you wouldn't like that. Take a deep breath and make that call on Monday ((((hugs)))) .......then you know you will be doing your best for Blue.
Big hugs to you and Blue Jac ..... xxx

Jac - you need to know for sure. Our imagination takes us miles on 'what ifs and how will I copes' when we don't actually know what we're facing. Wears us out before we even get to the real dilemma.
So, listen to all the good advice you've had, take your vet's advice and then, when he has the diagnostic tools (the scans) to hand, you can sit together and discuss the way forward.
Our animals are part of our family, albeit canine or feline part; those who miss out on that wondeful bond will never understand that, and that we have to do the best for them.
((hugs))
Spoke to Jac this morning, she is going to phone the vet tomorrow, and arrange for Blue to be scanned...:?
