Carina needs your prayers tonight...

Carina was fine yesterday. This morning she was very down, didn't want to come downstairs for breakfast or lunch or to go out. I called the vet and he gave me an appointment right away. After checking her, he wanted to take some Xrays so I left her in the office.
When I called at 4 PM the news were not good. She has a mass in her spleen and stomach. The next step is to do an ultrasound, which the vet doesn't do himself. He hires a specialist who will come to the office, hopefully tomorrow or the day after. Not until after the results of the ultrasound are clear will he decide on surgery because he wants to know exactly what the extent of the mass is.
All I can do right now is keep her very quiet till the next appointment.
I don't know when I'll be back here with some news because I want to keep my phone line opened in case the vet calls.
In the meantime, please pray for her. We know PT prayers work miracles.
I'm trying very hard not to become totaly hysterical.

Oh - prayers, {{{{{hugs}}}}}} and best wishes coming your way.

Prayers and positive thoughts for Carina. Please let us know when you can.

Alicia,

I am so sad to hear this about Carina. It sounds very scary
to me that she feels & acts so differently. Poor baby. I will
keep you both in my thoughts and in my prayers. Loving comfort
hugs from Liz & Smokey. {{{HUGS}}}

I am so sorry to hear the news about Carina.
You both will be in my thoughts.

You and Carina will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Be strong Carina! You will be in my thoughts :(

Oh no, sorry to hear about dear Carina...I'll keep her in my thoughts. Keep us updated!

Oh, no. Saying prayers and sending positive thoughts that all will be well for beautiful Carina.

{{Hugs}}

Oh, no..not our dear Carina. Like Liz said the upsetting part is that she acts so differently. One just doesn't know what she feels. That they can't communicate what is going on is one of the worst things when a pet is ill. But let's not jump to the worst case scenerio. There is a chance that whatever this mass is can be removed. We will keep Carina in our prayers, Alicia.

Oh Alicia, I do hope all will be alright with your sweet Carina. I will be saying a special prayer for the both of you.
Let us know how things are going when you get the chance.
Anna

Oh no, not our beautiful Carina:(:( Alicia, I know how upset you are right now and my heart is breaking for you friend. But as Rachel has said, we have to try and think positive and hope that the mass can be removed. You and Carina are at the very top our prayer list, Alicia. I wish I could drive down to see you and give you a hug. We're here for you and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Please give precious Carina a hug and kiss from me. Love, Sandra

Alicia, I'm sorry I didn't see this before now. Carina will definitely be in our prayers, and you will too. I'm going to think positive!!!

Love,
Logan

The vet called last night. Carina is scheduled for the ultrasound this afternoon. We'll decide what to do after the results of the test.
She seems a little happier now, at least she has followed me up and down, which is more than she could managed yesterday.
Thanks for your prayers and good thoughts.
I'll be back when I have some more news.

Hugs and Kisses to Carina and you, Alicia. I'm glad she's brightened up this morning. :) We'll be thinking of you all day, and hoping that the ultrasound will go well this afternoon.

Hang in there! The prayers are coming your way. :)

PS. I did share this at GG. Hope you don't mind.

Oh, Alicia, I am so sad to hear this. Poor Carina will be in my prayers. I believe in miracles; they happen. I hope you find what's wrong and it can be fixed. I am so scared for you and Carina. Prayers are on their way right now. {{{Hugs}}}

Many prayers for both you and Carina. I think Carina brightened because she knows you are doing your very best to take care of her.

Let us know when you hear something.

Prayers are on the way for Carina.

Alicia, it's heartening to hear that Carina is feeling more herself today.:) I'm glad you were able to get her in so quickly for her testing. We all will be thinking of you both with love and keeping you in our most heartfelt prayers. Miracles do happen and we've worked some mighty big miracles here on Pet Talk. Please let us know how the test went whenever you're able. Hugs and kisses to you sweet Carina.

Not beautiful Carina! :(
Get well soon, sweet girl! I can't wait to hear more good news! :)

I'm glad they were able to schedule the ultrasound for
today. I hope test results give you many options for a treatable
condition. It's good that Carina is acting more herself today. That
alone should lighten your heart somewhat. Prayers & positive
thoughts will continue for you both. Love, Liz & Smokey.:)

Alicia, I know you are on pins and needles. I have to leave for a while, but I am thinking about you and Carina. :)

Logan

Prayers on the way for both you and Carina.
