Groucho Too - our sick dog

[Lynda Kamrath]

I guess this is the best place to make this announcement, but Groucho Too has cancer.  He has been kind of going downhill the last month and we thought it was from eating poop on a trail out in San Benito County.  We got some meds and antibiotics for that and he rather perked up for a while.  The last week he has not been wanting to jump in or out of the vehicles and yesterday he did not want to do his usual "pancake hunt".  He had problems doing a roll over and would not stand up on the banister or tree to get his pancake.  We took him to the vet and she thought at first he had been poisoned, but when the x-rays and blood work came back that did not seem indicated.  The x-rays showed fluids in his abdomen and when they were extracted with a needle, there was blood in the fluids.  They wanted us to take him to the emergency vet last night, but we brought him home and took him back this morning for surgery.  When they opened him up, he had a large cancerous tumor that had ruptured on his spleen and more nodes of cancer on his liver.  They gave him about two months.  So, we will enjoy the little time we have left with Groucho Too.  Thanks for your concern and just give your dogs some extra love for all of us.
