Dying

Thursday 11 December 2008
Apparently, my dog has cancer. But none of the veterinary surgeons that I seek help can diagnosis properly, there were 4 of them, they are even graduated in Australia or perhaps being a vet for more than 30 years, but none of this f*cking vet can tell me, actually my dog having Canine Lymphoma.

Guess what, I figure it out from Google searched.

I got the information from dogcancer.net, it said The lymph system is the body's "other" circulatory system, circulating white blood cells and most importantly, lymphocytes. These are specialized cells involved in immune function found throughout the body. In normal healthy dogs, these cells are manufactured in the bone marrow, go through a life span of around 30 days, and then die off and are re-absorbed into the body or eliminated through the waste channels. In Lymphoma, the regulation of production is lost and these cells proliferate in large number, or they lose their programmed life cycle and continue to live on, overwhelming the other blood cells. High white blood cell count and swollen lymph glands are the characteristic signs of this disease, followed by lethargy, loss of appetite and leading eventually to death unless treated.

However, one of the vets did blood test for my dog, and figured out my dog having a high amount of white blood cells, and he told me my dog could be only having general infection.

the fact that I angry the most is these 4 idiots is the one who kill my dog, because canine lymphoma is very common among dog, but how could this people can’t even notice the real sickness, beside telling me my dog having fault pregnancy, insects bite, hormone imbalance and general infection.

This is what I got from marvistavet.com, it said The “typical” canine lymphoma patient is a middle aged dog presented to the veterinarian because one or more lumps have been found. The veterinarian rapidly determines that all of the peripheral lymph nodes (those near the skin surface) are enlarged and firm. Usually the dog has not been showing any signs of illness. The next step is a blood panel and urinalysis to more completely assess the patient’s health and one or more lymph nodes are aspirated or biopsied to confirm the diagnosis of lymphoma.

Now too late for my dog, her condition getting from bad to worse, thanks to the wrong medicine given by the vets. Now there is nothing I can do, decision have to be made in order to release her from suffering, I have to let her go.

Although according to dogcancer.net, my dog can be cure, but treatment success depends on many factors, such as the dog's age, his or her diet, their medical history, where the cancer is located and how extensive it is and what major systems are involved. Generally speaking, the earlier lymphoma is diagnosed, the better the outcome will be. Since most lymphoma occurs in younger dogs, when it is diagnosed early, immune modulation usually assures that the dog has the greatest possible chance of remission, and the best chance that the cancer does not recur.

I sent my dog to the first vet when she only having reddish eyes problem, this is the first symptom of Canine Lymphoma, but after false treatment from one to another, then my dog got her swollen glands, lost appetite and breathing heavily.

Watching my dog suffering is the most heart breaking thing to do.

Arrrrhhhh......

在lebuhraya batu lancang 的dr. yeoh是不错的兽医,我的狗儿十岁了,前两个月长瘤,医生诊断为cancer,割除后至今还不错的。上个星期见他奄奄一息,带去找医生,如今又生龙活虎了。
