Yeah it is always hard. I think the girls at the vets were as upset as
anyone. They all loved "goofy old Ed".
The cancer stayed in remission for 3 years and then just exploded on
us. That golf ball sized tumor grew to the size and color of an
eggplant in about a week and a half. It was the last chance for him to
go and not be in pain.
Do me too if I get that sick.

Sorry to hear Greg. Dogs are goofy sometimes (especially Labs) but they
are cool, often much more so than people. I still miss ol' Sam Adams
from time to time.

Which cancer was it? My lab died of a nerve sheath tumor in left shoulder. Had it removed twice but
came back bigger and faster each time.

Sorry to hear that. A neighbour's dog is almost in a similar situation.
My Springer Spaniel has some kind of stomach ailment that hasn't been diagnosed yet..after x-rays, ultra sounds ... expensive low fat food etc, the vet is guessing either an ulcer or irritable bowel disorder. I hope they pin point it so we can stop the weekly cycle attacks of soft, sometimes bloody poop and no desire to eat for a day or so.

For very similar symptoms my vet, a very principled man, prescribed tylan powder. Solved the
problem.

Tylan Powder for Dogs – Indications

There are many indications of Tylan powder for dogs due to the antibiotic properties including many
gastrointestinal disorders such as colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic diarrhea. The GI
effects have been known to give relief to both acute and chronic GI illnesses by providing relief to
the smooth muscles within the intestinal tract. Some of the symptoms which are known to get relief
include diarrhea, constipation, and other related problems.

Mast cell. It was removed once and came right back. I had it in
remission with Benadryl but it got loose again.

My English Pointer had a mast cell tumor on her back leg. I caught it when it was about 8-10mm, the
vet cut it and about 4cm diameter of tissue around it. The remaining edges were clean, and we've not
had a reoccurence...yet. I'd had my dog on Benadryl (generic stuff) for a few years prior to that.
The vet said it was a good thing, probably helped. She'll be on that stuff for the rest of her life,
along with the tylan powder I mentioned to Don.

Sorry for your loss Greg. Being a dog lover myself,
I know the hurt you are feeling. Time or a puppy will soften the
pain. :-)

We will have another dog. It will be an adult rescue if the past is
any indication.

Here ya go!
