Devastated, my gorgeous pup has cancer

My gorgeous girl Indy was diagnosed with Lymphoma after a large tumour was found on her spleen. We received the dreaded phone call saying she may not make it after the splenectomy due to massive blood loss. Thanks to a blood transfusion from the vets own brave doggy she pulled through.

Four weeks on & she has just had her 3rd chemo session & is doing well, lymph glands are down & she is bouncing around like tigger. There is no cure but she could have 6 - 18 months to enjoy life. We only had a shirt time to decide if we wanted to give her chemo or let her go within a few weeks. It was so hard to decide what was best but as dogs don't react as badly as us humans we scraped the money together & she has fought this nasty disease with no side effects to date.

We have created a bucket list for her doing all the things she loves, a visit to the beach, a walk through the woodlands at a certain National Trust property, a new squeaky toy every week (she goes through them in hours)

Today I entered her in the contest for Pets That Make A Home, from Taylor Wimpey. The prize money would be such a help as chemo is very expensive if any of you would be able to vote for Indy she would really appreciate it. A

The photo is what we all say to cancer!

Thank you to all that vote for our baby girl.

So sorry to see this - I think a bucket list for her is a lovely idea

How old is she? It's good that she's coping well with the chemo and enjoying her life

So sorry, what sad news.

The bucket list is a wonderful idea.

Sending good wishes and positive thoughts.

Great idea for the bucket list,neither of those links work for me.

HeffalumpsnWoozles · 26/04/2014 07:43

Indy is 9 & is otherwise fit & healthy as daft as that sounds. Was a real shock when the diagnosis was made. Taking it fir granted she would be with us a very long time yet as JR's can live to be on average 15yrs.

She is adorable! I've voted and really hope you win.

My beautiful goldie died from spleen cancer, by the time it was found there was nothing that could be done. So glad your lovely girl has some extra time. I love the idea of her bucket list.

HeffalumpsnWoozles · 27/04/2014 08:34

Thank you so much Karin, I'm so sorry for your loss. These tumours are so fast growing, the vets said Indy's had grown so much in just one week between the initial visit & her operation.

I am overwhelmed by the amount of support & votes she has received I pray she has time to complete her list. I like to think of Goldie running through the fields free from pain now she has passed x
