Shiloh has bladder cancer

[PJ's Mom]

My heart and many good thoughts are going out to you and Shiloh.

[Sudilar]

Thank you all.
There will be no miracles here, as I feared. It is end stage. There is nothing we can do but sustain quality of life for as long as possible. Prognosis is 3 months to 6 months. Medication is the only option...piroxicam and an antibiotic (Primor 1200). I have been crying all day. I am at a loss.
A few months ago, she had blood in her urine which was cleared up with antibiotics. The bleeding came back full force this Tuesday evening. Today we had the pneumocystogram and ultrasound done. She is full of tumors. It is unoperable. The vet says that she does not appear to be in pain and that her general overall health is good.
Our goal is quality of life.

Please give her a gentle kiss from me, Sue. She's such a beautiful girl.

I know you are beside yourself with worry, but like you said, "Quality of Life", and that's the right approach.

Hugs to you. Wish I could give you one in person.

Hi, I had to make a name so I could post on your story. You had me crying just thinking about what it was like when my dog died, then thinking about your pain. I know how you feel on losing your best friend. However I don't know the exact circumstances on the illness, but it is hard to go through a death. I wish there was some way I could help you rather than just posting a comment but I do hope this serves as some sort of comfort for you.

I wish you the best of luck with Shiloh and pray that she continues to bring you joy even after God has called her home. Once God calls her back try to stray from the sad thoughts of not having her, but the happiness of being able to share your life with someone so special. I'm sure she couldn't have asked for a better life than the one she has with you.

If you ever need to talk feel free to IM me (FiestySheep17). I will keep you in my prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear about Shiloh. I know it must be hard not to be sad around her. Give her a big hug for us, okay.

I'm so sorry to hear about Shiloh. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have friends going through bone cancer with their dog. Like Shiloh it's untreatable and once the initial shock wore off they decided not to focus on it, just to enjoy their last few months with her. She was always pampered, but now they make that extra effort to take her to all her favorite spots and forget dog food she gets ham, fish, etc. They know the day will come when pain meds won't work and they'll have to make that decision, but for now their just enjoying the time with her...Hugs and prayers

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I'm so sorry I don't know you too well but from your posts I can tell just how much Shiloh means to you, atleast she's not in any pain at the moment and just try to make everyday as good as you can for her. I can't even imagine what you're going through

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Oh, Sue.... I'm soo sorry to hear about this awful news. But I'm going to try to say HAPPY things.

I'm pretty sure that shiloh will be with for a very long time to come, Sue!
I will most deffineatley be praying for your sweet Shiloh.

[Albea]

Dear Sue, no words are enough to tell you how sorry I am for Shiloh and you. Whoever said life is not fair was so right. It's not fair for you to go through so much grief in such a short time.
Please know that you will be both in my thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot express my great appeciation of all of your kind words, thoughts and prayers. I am trying so hard not to feel sadness when I look at her. I speak to her in my "happy voice" and I hope all the hugging she is getting doesn't give my true feelings of unbearable sorrow away.

This morning the vet called and said that the bloodwork came back with no surprises. He wants to see her this week to check her bladder to see if it is growing......if it is then the end may be sooner.

I need to be strong and not mourn Shiloh BEFORE her passing, but it is so terminal....not like Killian (with him we could fight his diseases)......so hopeless.

Hugs to you all and be sure to give your furbabies all a big hug each and every day.

I am so sadden to hear about Shiloh.
I can not think or say anything that will give you
comfort.

I will wish that you have many more walks and charished days with her.
