And there is STILL hope for Gi.
Her limping is caused by arthritics. It will not go away but I can ease the discomfort with supplements (GNC Triflex) and prescribed drugs (aka anti-inflammatory pills). Aided with massage and DIY physio-therapy.
Gi has a new tiny lump near another lymph node. It's so tiny that you have to go look for it before detecting it.
The vet has given me hope that with surgery, Gi mite be cleared of the cancer cells, since it was discovered early - early this yr to be exact. And the possibility of a hormone-incurred cancer is very high, the vet has suggested spaying her too. The vet has also assured me that a special type of GA will be used for elderly dogs like Gi. So with this, I am very certain to have Gi go under the knife - for one solid hour, to remove the two lumps, one big blood clot at her hips and spay her. Now it's to find an auspicious day for it.
BTW, the vet has also reaffirmed my online findings re the lack-of cancer symptoms in dogs. Cos dogs do not have the normal / usual symptoms as humans.
On a lighter note, Gi is not losing weight or whatsoever. Especially not due to the cancer. The vet explained tat as dogs age, they will lose muscle mass. Likewise with the humans. Thus the bones will be more prominent.
AMEN.
AMEN.
AMEN.

will keep gigi in our prayers!
Hoping to hear more good news. GNC triflex is pretty ex. You can try Ocean which is a Spore brand which cost less and just as good. when feeding Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM, it has to be daily dose for at least a period of 3 the before it stabilised the repair of cartilage. There after you still need to continue on alternate days depending on how well she improve. Once you stop giving her, it may reverse again.
Will keep Gigi in my prayers too.
Thanks, ladies.
Fluffy's Mum: I'm also taking GNC Triflex so it's not that tough on my pocket. Nevertheless, wilk chk out Ocean. Thanks!
