Hi Karen, I'm new on this forum. My Scotty Johnnie Walker has been battling TCC since he was diagnosed last Aug.05 He has been on Metacam & Ciprofloxacin since then. I have also given him some immune building suppliments (Trader Joes Very Green) in yogurt...about 1 TBsp cocktail everyday. He has done o.k., though never really what I would call remission. There has always been blood in his urine & straining to urinate and a bloated little belly for at least the last 3mos, but is now showing signs of something going more "wrong" inside him...it could be either liver (when he was originally diagnosed he had a tumor on the lower bladder wall & a "suspect mass" in the liver shown on the ultrasound, or kidney failure, typical of prolonged use of these drugs. I was going to have another ultrasound done, more testing, etc, etc, but I just can't see putting him through all that again. I've read the data on TCC...it is not a curable cancer. He's almost 10 yrs old. I know he MAY still have a bit more time, but no one knows how much. He's been living on "borrowed time" since Sept really, and we have tried to give him the best life possible & spoil him even more than he already has been...he's our baby & it os SO hard to know there is this monster growing inside him aiming to take his life. My husband & I are determined not to let JB suffer. He desrves a peaceful, dignitfied exit to this world. We will take him to the beach this weekend for one last romp by the ocean & then help him exit this world is all the regalia deserving of valiant, brave little Scotsman. Only you know what id the best for your faithful little companion. Vets, chat rooms, frinds, advisors certainly can help, but you know him best & as difficult as these times are, these furry friends count on us to make their quality of life the best we can for them. Unfortunately that sometimes means the most difficult decisions we make for them. My thoughts are with all on this forum in this difficult struggle.
