Sad update 😢
It is with great sadness that I have to write that we lost one of the sweetest Dobies ever to a fatal, aggressive cancer. The surgery, which was supposed to be Monday , was postponed as she was not stable enough. Her left leg had become as swollen as the right and her breathing was very shallow. Additionally it looked as if the infection had spread to two more mammary glands. More blood samples were sent out and a stat ultrasound was performed. After consultation with an oncologist, Dolly was diagnosed with inflammatory carcinoma which had already spread. She was also in a lot of pain and we had to make the hardest decision an animal lover has to make
The vets who treated her said she stole everyone's heart as she did Steffanie Mayo's, MIke Edmondson's and Keith Musbach's who visited her, brought her treats and loved her.
We appreciate everyone who took the time to share her story, sent prayers and sent monetary donations and Amy Hackney for behind the scene support.
Dolly was safe and knew love in the final weeks of her life. We also appreciate the support shown for Dolly. We are sorry we couldn't save her sooner to give her a fighting chance.
R.I.P. sweet angel. You were loved by all who met you. — with Leyanis Trueba and 4 others.
UPDATE
Latest pix of Dolly, compliments of Steffanie Mayo who visited her today as did Mike Edmondson and Keith Musbach- her transporters.
I spoke w the vet at length this afternoon. Dolly has several medical issues. Vet does not believe she has/ had mastitis as most of her milk had dried up but she does have 2 major bacterial infections, one of which is MRSP and resistant to everything but a sulfa drug which Dobes do not tolerate well. She will be getting Denamarin to try to offset the affect it has on the liver.
As previously mentioned, she is heartworm positive but may need surgery on that mammary gland soon. Rads and more bloodwork taken today which will indicate if she can have that surgery. There is still edema in her left leg and that’s troublesome. We will have an update either late tomorrow or first thing Wednesday. Rads sent to radiologist for further evaluation.
If you can, please help by donating towards her medical expenses. They are going to be significant.
This girl is a total love and everyone, including both vets say she is the sweetest ever!
