Betty is looking after her keeps cuddling up to her and licking her face so gently so we have to get her through this or Betty will be devastated !
Hope Mollie continues to perk up.

She is looking better still this morning, we are going to weigh her at the weekend because looks like she is gaining a little back. Eating her mushy food quite happily and actually tried to have a little play with Betty before deciding a sleep would be better LOL

Re: Bit worried about Molliepops
Had some very bad news today, Mollie's latest test results came back and she has cancer at a cellular level, likely around many of her organs. She has lost more weight but seems happy in herself having 5 liquidised meals a day. She will be on liquid meals now for rest of her life and we have to keep her warm and rested, and really just keep her comfortable.Prognosis is not good even if we opted for surgery there is no cure all they can do is say exactly where the tumours are so we have opted for no radical treatments as at her age nearly 13 and with no cure available it seems unfair to put her through a surgery if it won't actually cure her.
Possibly 2 months he says but if she becomes distressed or looses too much more weight it could be sooner.
Very very sad time for us now as she has been light of our lives and acted as an assistance dog to me on many occasions, even learned to help me make a bed when she knew I was struggling !
Not sure what we will do without her ....

Re: Bit worried about Molliepops
I'm so sorry to hear this Julie
but glad she is still happy in herself. It's so hard to accept that she will not be with you much longer, but she knows you love her and will do your best for her. I hope she stays comfortable for the remainder of her life.xx

Re: Bit worried about Molliepops
Oh Julie, I am so very sorry to read your post. Take all the love and cuddles you can, Mollie will enjoy that as much as you. She doesn't know what's around the corner for her,so will not be upset as you are. I do know what you are going through.......try not to think about it until it's upon you and try to carry on as normal. Mollie has been the light of your life for a long time, she knows she is loved and cherished, I hope you can take some comfort from that. My thoughts are with you.

Re: Bit worried about Molliepops
Julie, I am so very sorry at your sad news, I am sure many of us will have a fair idea of how you are feeling. At least she didn't have to stay at the vets and you were able to bring her home again with you, to spoil and cherish her as long as you can. I agree with the other posts, she knows she is loved. x12-03-2014, 06:18 PM

Re: Bit worried about Molliepops
Went for a lovely but short walk this afternoon with her, she is still very happy and met lots of dogs and said hello to loads of people. Quite enjoyed her little jaunt. Think the key will be to listen to what she wants now and just do little walks while she is comfortable to do them.She is still eating sadly has to all be pureed but her liquid chicken and rice went down very nicely and she is now snoozing loudly behind the sofa.
Weather really cheered her up I think a bit of sun was what she needed after all the mud of the winter.
