Our 14 year old female lab/Bull Terrier mix will undergo ultrasound on Monday to look for TCC. Bear has been "squatting" frequenty and for long periods for several months but we thought it was probably due to her advanced age until we noticed blood in her urine last month. She was treated for a UTI and seemed to be better but we noticed blood in her urine again today. Her urine test today revealed high levels of transitional cells. The vet recommended ultrasound and more extensive urine testing so we are waiting and praying it's another UTI and not TCC. She's on pain meds for now and seems content, she's eating and drinking but not as active as usual. The vet called and told us to hope for the best but be prepared for TCC. She mentioned a drug called Proxicam? that could possibly shrink the tumor and make Bear more comfortable. Bear joined our family shortly after we started dating when she was 6 weeks old, she is like our child. She's been a joy to us for so long and the thought of losing her is heartbreaking. She is a great old girl, she grew up on the beach in Hawaii and has given us so much love for more than 14 years. I am so sorry for everyone who has lost their canine family members on this site, please pray for Bear and hopefully we'll be blessed with having her with us for at least a couple of more years.
