Almost a month ago, the vet told me Happy, at 13.5yrs, was nearing liver failure. It was almost certainly cancer based on her bloodwork.
Here she is today, after many more vet visits, an overnight in the ER & 4 meds. Turns out it was a bacterial infection. She’s recovering & I highly recommend pet insurance.
I’m so grateful for more time with this very good girl. I also know that no matter how many years we’re fortunate to have w our dogs & cats, it’s never going to be enough. #DogsOfMastodon

A vet did a needle biopsy on an itchy area on my boy James's leg and then told me it was a very fast and aggressive cancer that needed to come off immediately. He excised a lot of flesh out of James' leg, requiring me to carry him up and down a steep flight of stairs for three weeks. Turned out it was a spider bite.
