The only description my Orpington has lived up to is broody! She is not sweet! View attachment 2761496

Yes, I agree! I would be too scared to put my broody Orpingtons on my lap like MaryJanet! They are mean!!! Edit to add that they are very friendly when not broody, but yikes when they're broody, watch out!!

Sooo the vet called, apparently it could be anything. He could have swallowed a tennis ball or he could have Addison’s disease we won’t know until they do further scand

Are they going to do the scans today?

Hoping for the best possible outcome

It’s cancer. So we are going to do everything we can but at the end of the day it’s quality over quantity. Cancer feeds off sugar so we are removing all sugars from his diet in the hopes it’ll starve, it works. My dad’s friend’s wife had cancer and she removed every sugar from her diet and it disappeared. As you can imagine it’s devastating and awful but I think he will live. He survived getting kicked to the head for goodness sake he can survive this

I'm sorry. Is there anything you can do in addition to cutting out sugar?

Um we don’t know yet, if it’s treatable then yes if not no. We can’t have it surgically removed because it’s tangled with a whole heap of blood vessels that are important. We can also feed him some natural stuff perhaps, that might work.

There might be other treatments the vets have in mind.

It's very bad luck in such a young dog

I'm so sorry to hear this. Really hope it's treatable.

Hopefully. They have essentially said it depends on the type of cancer it is.
I know.

Thanks
