Ask the Vet

Q. Hi, my 18 1/2 yo female spayed, dachshund who up until April 08 had no medical problems or history. First growth came up on ridge of snoot, between ridge but lower than the eyes. This resolved to smaller but is still present. In June, a larger growth began to grow above the right eye and measures approximately one inch + more vertical than horizontal. There is a nasal congestion, appearing as there is a communicating problem with swallowing and breathing. Incessant sneezing, wheezing, snorting. The initial laboratory reports were suggesting cushing syndrome, but for the most part not treated on that. The lab panel was within normal or high out of range for the normal Glu, alk pho, K, Na, etc. However, she still manages to eat one meal a day, she goes outside to eliminate and seems to enjoy her surroundings; she is responsive, knows her surroundings. Local vet says MRI, followed by invasive workup, chemo and radiation. Not looking for a cure for cancer (if that is what is most probably is) but asking if anyone shares this and if so, any suggestions for what could be done. I thank you, in advance, for any suggestions or comments you might be so inclined to give. Thank you. -- Anne S.

This is my ragdoll Shalley. She enjoys going to hotels because she always gets to act like a kitten again along with her sister. She is going on three now, but man in a hotel room she feels young again. I'm glad they usually have good rough tough furniture because she will use her claws. It's a blast to watch her and her sister playing like wildcats. -- Holly A., Calgary, Alberta More
