worried sick

[terri]

hi all..
i'm sorry i have'nt been on much today....all day i have had a heavy heart...could sleep last night..:062:
as some of you know my beautiful boy Barnaby was admiitted to the specilist on this monday with his eyes..
well tonight i have had an emergency appointemnt at my vets tonight..with yes Barnaby..:062:
i thought the two things might be related..but they are not..
but my world seem to fall apart in the consultation room tonight..
last night..banrbay seemed to be struggling breathing..this morning one side of his nose/nostil seem to be blocked and is swoolen and inflammed....
then i have noticed a mass in his mouth last night inside his mouth under the same side of his nose....again my vet said its unusual to have a mass come up..its also on the side of the swelling in his nose..my vet also said if it was an infection or something..it would affect both nostrils..so my head is spinning..and i jsut want it too stop..
took him to my vets tonight...
and my vet has never seen anything quite like it..he even had tears in his eyes..
unfortunatley my special boy has to undergo more testing..bless his heart..
he is to have a full nasal/nose x-ray, the mass in his mouth has to be removed, and sent away..and also has to have a camera up his nose...this has all started in a matter of a few days..
my vet has given me a 50/50 chance....
i'm worried sick..i know none of you can help me..but i just feel my world is falling apart and i have no control over what is happening..
i don't know how i'm going to cope over the coming days..but i have to be strong..
barnaby is being admitted to undergo all this on tuesday coming (4 days time)..
i'm so so sorry to pour my heart out..
i just don't know what to think or do..
please help me along this dark path i seem to be walking at present..

[AngieBaby!]

:075:Oh noooo!!! Terri that's terrible news you poor love and your precious boy must be wondering what the heck's going on. Sending you and Barnaby loads of supportive love and hugs. xxx:075:

[Tanya]

Oh I'm so so sorry Terri - I hope all goes as best it can for Barnaby on tuesday....lots of positive thoughts headed your way :075: :075:

[terri]

just so you can see what i'm talking about..
and really hope this does not upset you..if they do please feel free to remove them..

as you can see his nose has gone all crusty..but its the swelling..which is just on the outside..but more inside his nsoe..
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll287/terrig8/barnaby12thmarch2010001.jpg

then by mistake..as i was looking at his nose..to see why he was breathing funny last night..i accidentley lifted up the lip..and was horrified by this...
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll287/terrig8/barnaby1232010003.jpg
which my vet thought was a funny place to see a lump...and not the normal palce to see anyhting like this...so i know even my vet is worried..
and another pic of the mass in his mouth...
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll287/terrig8/barnaby12thmarch2010003.jpg

as you can see i'm worried sick..
but i still have to wait for the results..even after tuesday when he goes in..
i suppose i will know more with the xray to see if this shows and masses in his nasal cavity..again my vet was worried..as if it was an infection..it would affect both nostrils..and its only one side being affected..which again vet said is not normal.....so can be prepared if need be..
thank you so much for your support and prayers..and really hope you will keep them coming..

Terri im sorry to hear this and what a worry a bloody worry for you. There is many things that can be causing this and it will be a case of illimination. Has he had x rays and have they done swabs. As you know my baby Goose had a nasal tumour but it took a long time to swell and a long time to diagnose.

Goose had xrays which showed the entire bone destruction on one side of his nasal cavity which lead them to believe it was aspergilosis (a fungal infection). But at first we thought a grass seed infection. A nasal tumour is very very rare and only 1% of cancer in dogs in nasal and the survival rate is poor. I so so wish id found out sooner that Goosey had a tumour as there is so much we wouldnt and would have done.

In mu opinion I dont think its a tumour but im no vet, i hope ist some sort of infection. Its too cold for aspergillosis as this comes from fungal spores. I hope you get to the bottom of it soon hun

Lots of love Carol xxxxxxxxxxx

[Pink Gundog]

Meant to add, ill let the vets at work see this tomorrow xxx

[Penelope]

Aww Terri - Poor you and poor Barnaby.
I have everything crossed for you - you WILL find the strength to get through this hun... everyone here is rooting for you and your lovely boy.
Hope these days fly by and you soon get the results back after all his tests. Be strong for him and the rest of your gorgeous dogs.
Lots of love n hugs.
Penny and the gang.

Lots of love Carol xxxxxxxxxxx

hi Carol..
i did'nt know you had gone through a similar thing..i'm so sorry..xxx

they are doing everything for Barnaby on tuesday coming..
they are going to do a full nose x-ray..( and vet said he is hoping he can say the nasal cavity will be showing up as black and not a white colour ?)
but vet said inside his nose it is swollen..and is worried that this mass is the same side..and not a place they would normally see a mass ...
so i just don't know..
they are going to be removing the lunp only and an x-ray and possible camrera up his nose if they can get it in...
they are sending the lump off..and i have to wait for this..
he siad if it was nasty..it would depend what is was ..he may need more invasive surgery to remove more of the lip with a good margin of normal tissue..but he did'nt want to do this until he knows what he is dealing with..
he did say a couple of things..i can't remeber what he said..something pollimonia ?not sure if that is right..which is a begin mass..and vet said he would eb hoping and praying this is what it is..but it would'nt explain the sudden sweeling inside his nsoe..
and then he went on about two kinds of cancer..like you said which is very rare 1%...and again vet said he is hoping and praying it is'nt this..as i have been warned about the sucess rate..which i can't even think about..
not sure about swabs he never said..i will ask when he goes in on tuesday..thanks for that..
again this is what has worried my vet that is all on one side only and not both.....
so i just don't know..
thank you for your support too..and all of everyoens parayers..
i don't think the next few days and nights i'm going to be sleeeping too well..
thank you all MM..for your pm's..
and to everyoen else...for all your support...and parayer for my beautiful boy..
i'm hoping and praying..its something and nothing..he is far too young to leave me...
xxxxxxx

[Pink Gundog]

Terri my heart aches for you it really does. Ive been through every test with Goose. The bone destruction in his nasal cavity happened quickly. The type of cancer Goose had was just a single cell gone bad, if it had been in his leg an amputation would have cure it as it wasnt invasive!!

Goose's symptoms started one day and a year later he was still with me, the swelling did not appear till the last few weeks of his life, the tumour burst through the gum causing a massive hole where all the poison used to seep through, he was still as active when he was PTS as he was before any of his bother.

He had NO nasal discharge, but did sound like he was sniffing backwards. Looiking at your baby is NOT like what Goosey had. Yours look some sort of infection and I pray thats all it is.

I hope im not worng in posting about goose as I dont want to upset you, just want to be a support and any help if I can

This was Goose the week before he was PTS and the swelling you see only appeared in his later weeks

And a video of him when his symptoms 1st started

[lisalh]

Hope all goes well on tuesday for him (and you ). xx

[Victoria]

Thinking of you Terri.

[terri]

thanks Carol..
your goose was beautiful...i appricate your video of him, bless his heart..and i hope and pray its what you think and it is only an infection..
my Barnaby does have a clear discharge..he sounds really nasily..if that makes sence..and keeps sneezing..like something is irratating his nose..he also paws at his nose...but this has all kicked off in a matter of a couple of days..i can't say how long he has had the mass in his mouth..as its a place you would'nt see it..so i'm hoping the two are not linked..
i'll be happier when its all over for my poor barnaby...as he was only at the spcilaist and went under sedation on monday of this week with his eyes..
and now tuesday coming he has to go under a GA to have the mass removed, x-ray and camera..and i have a wait while the mass is sent off and await the results..
i have'nt slept much..feel awful..woke up with red puffy eyes ( not a good look )..
but i am trying to keep positive..and i'm going to take him for a lovely walk later on..with the others..
i'm trying not to think and worry now until tuesday which is hard..when my day is going to be one full day of worry until i get him back home with me..
once again..thank you so so much for all your support and love you have showed me...and all your prayers for my special boy Barnaby...
much love always

Aw God Terri, you really are having a time of it. Sending you and the boy big healing hugs. Please don't apologise for sharing with us, we are all happy to listen and send our love and support. xxx

[Pink Gundog]

Terri just reading your last post, are his teeth ok, as eyes and teeth problems can be related. Im waiting till one of my boss's comes out and im gonna let them see your pictures :-) xx

[terri]

aw thanks Carol(PG)..
from what i can see his teeth seem ok..
he was diganoised with gpra(generalized progressive retina athropy on monday..after undergoing an ERG test)
at the time thery were thinking on the lines of something with his brain..but the ERG test was to confirm or rule out a problem with his eyes..which this test did'nt and said he had an eye problem..then the mri scan was ruled out..as they thought it was due to his eyes..
and then from thursday evening hsi nose all blew up on one side and now he has this mass in his mouth...
so i just don't know what to think..
the nose on the left side and the mass on the left side but inside his mouth has not changed..in a few days..apart from the clear discharge and sneezing and sounding like he has a cold with one side of his mose blocked...
his teeth seem ok..not loose not out of line ect...the mass is more on the inside of his top lip boarding on the top of the gum line above the teeth..
thank you once again carol...

[terri]

i'm feeling a right mess today..
Barnaby is now in the vets..
thank you all so so much for all your messages, and prayers..
i'm needing them more than ever today..
i'm worried sick is an understatement..
i'm praying with everything i have right now that my vet won't be phoning me before 3pm today...as this may indicate something has showed up on his nasal xray..
i'm also hoping and praying his nose and growth in his mouth are not connected..and they are two seperate things..
hopefully i will know a bit more later today..
and then i will just have to wait for the results of his growth in his mouth..
please keep your prayers coming..
and i'm hoping and praying they bring my special boy through all this safely..
roll on 3pm..when they can phone me..
going to try and keep as busy as i can today..to hope the day passes quickly..
i feel i'm running on auto pilot at present....my tummy feels in knots..and i know i won't settle until he is back home with me..
i just want today over with for my poor barnbay..he has been through so much..
and i keep saying it..but i'm hoping i have to have a change of luck soon..
thank you all once again for all your messages of support ....
much love terri

thank you so much..
i feel like s**t..(SORRY)..
i can't consentrate..my mind keeps raceing..i have tried to keep busy..then i just sit and cry..and then my mind seems to be working on overtime...
so far vets have not phoned..so hopeing..that is good news on the xray front..
as surgery is between 11am and 2pm..i suppose it depends when he goes down to theartre..bless his heart..
it feels the day is really dragging..
and hes now been in the vets just over 4 hours now...
thanks for all your support..i really can;t thank you all enough..for just being here..and for all your lovely wishes...
mm your posting about chloe watching over with barnbay..had me with tears rolling down my face..but a comforting thought..thank you.
will update as soon as i know anyhting..
please keep him safe and bring him through this safely..
love terri

[Queen Bee]

More hugs winging their way from me and my girlies! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Much love to you Terri xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[terri]

i'm now worried more than ever..
i have not heard from my vets and they say if you have not heard by 3pm..then phone..so i have just phoned...
i'm hoping and praying its just becuase hes coming round from the GA..so he's been done later today..because normally they book an appointment when you ring to go and collect them..and they have'nt..
they have just said can we get the vet to phone you later...
so i feel shakey..sick..and now a bag of nerves...

i just don't know what to think..
or what they have done to him...
i have tears rolling down my face and i don't have any answers...
xxxxxxxxxx

[lisalh]

Aw Terri- try no to get too worked up Hun- if it was bad they would have called you by now and you never know they may have had an emergency come in and set the surgery back timewise. Please keep us posted as to what is happening, I have everything crossed for you xxx

[MightyMouth]

I just pm'd you pretty much what Lisa said. He may have gone down late and so they don't know when he will be ready to pick up. If it had been horrendous, they may have phoned whilst he was under the GA to see what you wanted to do. Try not to panic pet. I will be around until about 5 and then I have to take Kali to the vet but should be home about 7pm if you need me xxx

[terri]

thank dog....
vets have just phoned me back and apologised..she was trying to take 3 calls !!!
its due to barnbay being done late..and vet is just finishing a dental on another dog..and he's going to phone me back..
receptionist profusley apologised..but said she wanted to phone back..as she knew i would be worring..
but vet will also phone and tell me the same..
FANTASTIC NEWS is his x-ray is clear..nothing sinsiter..so thank you to all you lot who have sent prayers...
the power of vc...
obviocusly i know i have to wait for the results of the growth in his mouth..
but this has to be good news..and hopefully the two are not linked..so not sure why his nose is inflammed..maybe it was to due with the erg on his eyes..and that this growth in his mouth is seperate..
so so far good news..
i'm feeling a mess..as the call i just had every vision flash before me..i was shaking ect..
she has said the xray for his nose is clear..so i'm so happy on that one..
now all i need is for the growth in his mouth to be a good outcome..
talk about emotions being up and down..
thank you so much everyone..
if i could give you all a great big hug and thank you all personally i would..
thanks for keeping me sane too..
loadsa love terri

[Sandra]

Lisa and MM beat me to it Terri. Look at it that no news is good news, I'm sure the others are right and Barnaby's op was probably just started later than anticipated. Your vet might also be in surgery/consulting so can't talk to you just now. Hang on in there, got to do school run etc. now so will check in to see if there is any news later. Sending hugs. Sandra xx

[Sandra]

Oops you must have posted as I did Terri!! Well at least that is some good news, hopefully the vet will catch up with you shortly. Keep your chin up hun. Off to get my girlies now. xx

[Tanya]

:059: :059: :059: That's good news so far Terri - fingers crossed for the rest :075: :075:

[MightyMouth]

That is fantastic news Terri!! I am so pleased....will give Chloe an angel cuddle for sitting with him. I bet your heart is singing xxx Now, all we need is the mouth thing to be nothing and we have cracked it!!

[terri]

what a reunion...i can't even begin to explain what my day has felt like..its been a roller coaster of emotions..i've cried, worried was an understatment, been physically sick with worry, shaking...then eleation at the xray results..to crying when i saw him..thicking will i see him again..all these awful thoguhts of what ifs..
but too see him...you would never think Barnbay has had a full GA..in the consultation room..he came through singing..wagging his tail..and so pleased to see me..
i now have him home..
and its now catching up with him and he is falling fast asleep bless him..i think i'll be having an early night..as i feel physically shattered..
my vet was crying..as i was crying, hubby was crying..as he put his x-rays up and all is clear..it did show the growth in his mouth..i just broke down crying again..due to being so happy that it was all clear..
but my vet said he thinks he removed the whole thing..
he also thinks the nose swelling and the growth in his mouth are not connected..the nose is more due to the ERG on his eye 8 days ago..
but we have been warned we are not out of the woods just yet..as there are a few nasty mouth tumors...as you do..and i know he cannot be 100%..but if he did have a guess at what he thinks it could be...he said it looks like an epulis..which is a non cancerous growth...
they have couriered his growth off..and hopefully i should get the results on friday...
he also had a rhinoplast done..which basically is a camera up his nose..and aagin its all clear..
so i'm over the moon with that..and vet said even if it is the worst..and it is a form of a cancer..then so far its localised and has'nt spread...
hope hopefully it won't be the worst...
and i have to wait until friday..
barnabyy also has to go back on friday for a check up..
he has dissolvable stiches..has had a painkiller injection, and as a precaution due to surgery in his mouth..he has to have a course of antibiotics aswell..

so keep them prayers coming on his growth for a good outcome..
the main thing is even if it is the worst and the growth is a cancer..it has'nt spread..
chloe..thank you for being with my barnaby today and seeing him through it..that was and has been a huge comfort..so thank you so much sweetheart for doing that for my precious boy..and huge angel hugs speeding you way xxx
thank you sheryl for being my rock..even though i felt my world has been falling apart today...
and thank you so much to everyone else for all your support, compassion..and everything you have shown for my boy and for me....
you are all amazing people..and i thank you from my heart..
all i need now is postitive vibes on this growth...
and hopefully some more good news on friday...
loadsa love always..

thank you all so much...
Barnaby..was so spaced out and sleepy last night..but he has had a comfortable night..
i slept like a log..but have woke up with a headache..went to bed with one..but this is stress..
i love all my dogs so so much..and never thoguth you could love a dog so much that it hurts..
i've cried so much over Barnaby..we all have even my vets have..
i'm so so pleased the x-ray is clear..and like my vet said..even if this growth in his mouth is the worst and it is a cancer..it has not spread..and i have caught it early..
hopefully it will not be this..but if it is ..i feel more positive...
i know he is not out of the woods just yet..but for me..even if its the worst..i know it has not spread...so that can only be a good thing..
my vets have been fantastic..and you have all been fantastic too..
the love and compassion you have all showed me..will nto go unnoticed..
this place never fails to amaze me..i feel lucky to be apart of VC...
thank you for keeping me sane..
when i felt my world was failing apart the last few days..
i've just got to consentrate on my doggies..and start to enjoy life...

Barnbay is doing well...hes still on his antibiotic's due to his mouth surgery..
but has coped so well..he has never once moaned..
he is my little shadow at present..where ever i go..he follows...he won't let me out of his sight..bless him..
he goes back to the vets later today..fo a post op check up..
and hopefully the results will come back form the lab on his growth..if not then it will be monday..
i'm feeling more positive and feeling much better in myself..sorry i have shut myself away..sometimes its just how i deal with things..
even if this is the early stages of a mouth cancer..then i know it has'nt spread..so fingers crossed it isnt...and the surgery will be enough and curative ..
love terri

FANTASIC NEWS...:059::059:
Barnaby's check up has gone well..hes pleased with how his poor mouth is healing..just got to finish the antibiotics a few more days..

and the growth was a tumor..it was an epulis..
but thankfully for barnbay i caught it before it has turned into the stage before it gets to an epulis ( so thank dog i spotted it before it has a chance to multiply and go any further)..then it has a tendancy to go 3 ways once it is an epulis..two would progress to a non cancerous tumor..and the 3rd way it has a tendancy to turn to cancer..depending on what elpilus it was...
so i'm over the moon..thats its been removed before it could go either way...surgery has been curative..and hopefully this is now the end of Barnbay's run of bad luck....
and i can now have a weekend of no more worry for a while!!!...
once again thank you all so much for beign here and walking the dark path i have all this week..i never ever dreamed there would be light at the end of it...and feel i can now see all the colours of the rainbow..
i'm so so happy..and i will have my special boy hopefully for a few more good years...

you have all really helped keep me sane..and should me so much care and compasion...
i owe you all big time...
loads a love always
