Was planning on more then this, but I got stuck at work and had to improvise.... I wanted to do incline press, standing mils, rear delts, and leg press. None of those were available, so I had to be creative.

My Golden Retriever
I came home an hour early from work last night, and fully expected to see my wagging tail girl at the door as usual. But I didn't see her. I found her on my bed, licking her front legs and laying in a pool of what I thought was bloody urine. I called the vet immediately...
To make a long story short, I discovered before the vet came in that the bleeding was coming from her mouth. She would not let them open her jaws to see what was causing the bleeding, so they had to sedate her. 30 minutes later they tell me she has a massive tumor in the upper jaw, behind the last tooth. They think it became so big, her lower molar punctured it, and the reason for all the blood. There was a big hole in her mouth, which they fixed, but the concern is continued bleeding. For the next week (or maybe longer), only liquified food, no chewing, no exercising, and being knocked out on Benadyrl.
Of course a biopsy was taken, and I am confident it will come back benign. She will be 5 years old in 8 days... she is way too young, and way too much of brat to leave me now.
If you are religious, please pray for her.

Any update on Shelby?
Hope she's getting better.

Ain't that the truth...
Thanks for asking C. I think we are out of the woods on the bleeding part. She seems like herself, but frustrated that she can't 'run'. I take her to a large field everyday to run down Chuck It balls, or one of those ring Frisbees that go forever. I figure she runs abount a mile a day... in sprints. Seriously. Now, all of sudden no treats, no toys, no running, no walks. Thank God she loves the liquified food, and peanut butter.
Sweating the result of the biopsy. May go into next week, which is like torture. I am positive. Got to stay positive....

I figure at this point the gym is a good place for me to be. Takes my mind off of Shelby, and she just sleeps when I am not around.

I hope the biopsy turns out well. Yeah, you feel so bad for them because they feel rotten, and there really nothing you can do about it.
I found out the results today, and the news wasn't good. It is cancer, papillary squamous cell carcinoma to be specific. There is a reasonable chance that by cutting it out, it may not return.
Only problem is my vet does not feel comfortable doing the surgery because the last time she bled so profusely and they are worried that they may not be able to stop the bleeding. They want a specialist to do the procedure, and I appreciate them being honest.
They are going to search for one that can do it, but it may be 2-3-4 weeks before they can do the procedure! I am freaking out because that is too long to wait.
The sun has not set on my girl yet!

oh shoot....
I took the bull by the horns, and called Univ of Penn this morning (Ivy League Penn). They wanted to bring her in today! My boss wasn't happy (whatever), but I left and took Shelby to the Ryan Veterninary Hospital at Penn. They are awesome! Very professional staff, at one point I had 3 doctors examining my dog, and at the same time very caring of the situation.
She was admitted, they did xrays and blood work to see if the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes and chest. They called me tonight and everything looks great.
They will put her under tomorrow around 9 am, then do a CT scan to see how much it has progressed to her bone mass. That is when they decide what the options are. If surgery is the best option, they will TRY to do it then. I might have to bring her back next week...
They seemed to be saying the odds were 50/50 that it is operable, but I got the sense they were more confident then that.
I just hate leaving her there! I know she is scared and wondering what happened to Daddy...

Hey JD!
Good luck with the pooch!
I love the name Shelby for a retriever...I had thought about that name if I got a retriever...
Hopefully, they can get the girl back on her paws and her head in your lap soon, amigo!
BTW: workouts are looking solid. Yer pulling ahead, ya old bastard!

Sounds promising.
Bosses are never happy when you are not working ... Don't sweat it

Not that anyone asked, but the growth was determined to be operable, but tricky. Penn was absolutely awesome. 5 hours of surgery. I am convinced she got better care then most people would.
She is home now, but in pain and discomfort. I am nursing my girl back to health.

Do they think they got everything?
Good to hear she has been taken care of so well
Our dogs become part of the family
Yes, but they won't be absolutely certain for about 3 weeks. They removed part of her jaw, cheek bone, and a saliva gland. The bone tissue needs to decalcify so they can cut it into slices and examine under a microscope. They are confident that they achieved "good margins".
I will reiterate. Penn is fantastic. When I picked her up, I was surprised that the two surgeons that performed her procedure greeted me, and went over what they did and how to care for her. I got a 4 page write up detailing from the moment I brought her in, to the moment I picked her up.
He even called me today to see how she was doing. I can see an aide doing that, but the surgeon? Super.

This dog is not part of my family, she IS my family
. All of this cost $5,000 and I didn't bat an eye. She is way too young to die. If this re-occurs, then I will probably concede. Not because of the money, but I don't want her to go thru this again.But.... it isn't going to happen again. She is going to live the full life she deserves.
