Yesterday, I took Bo to the vet for his regular monthly visit. He had been drooling for the past several weeks. The vet drew blood from him and sent it off to be sampled. We should know the results soon.
After checking his mouth several times, the vet found that Bo had a cancerous tumor in his tongue. I've been doing some research on this and found that dogs with this kind of tumor survive 5-8 months.
This may have been why he has been drooling over the past several weeks. The vet informed me that there is not much that they can do about it.
Bo and I had a fun out at Chisolm Trail Park yesterday. He did his usual walking around and sniffing. He also had some fun out in the water.His appetite is still good. He ate some Alpo and corn chips yesterday.
We still have several months of memories left to make but suffice it to say it's not looking too good for Bo. I really do appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers.
We will see how things go in the coming days. I'm going to share a frozen dinner with Bo now.
Oooooh nooooo! I’m so sorry to hear about Bo. Not the kind of news you wanted to hear.
Good odds it’s the cause of his drooling and I hope the blood test doesn’t show anything else going on.
Great to hear his appetite is still good and he isn’t having trouble eating. He’s still doing well enough.
Most definitely keeping Bo - and you - in my prayers. Having been through similar ordeals with our cats, I have an idea of what you’re going through.
Enjoy and make the most of the time you have together and cherish every day with your best buddy.
