Frodo, my hero
Frodo has not been feeling well over the course of the last week or so. We've had so many vet visits and ups and downs. He does have pancreatitis, but it got better and then worse, instead of steadily making progess toward being better.
Monday, we checked him in to Dove Lewis NW for a series of blood tests and an ultra sound. He has a large mass filled with fluid growing on his stomach. This is what is putting pressure on his pancreas and causing it to be inflamed. Because he responded to the treatment for pancreatitis, instead of steadily getting worse, and because they found inflammatory cells in the fluid they sampled from the mass, it is likely that the mass is cancerous. The only option is exploratory surgery that may or may not help, and I don't want to put him through that at his age.
I love my guy. It's so hard to see him in pain. He has good moments, and then bad ones, and I just want to be with him every minute so I don't miss anything.
He saved us from the burglar last month. He's my hero, and my frisbee champion. He's been with me longer than any husband, boyfriend or friend I have ever had. He helped me get through college and made sure I always had a reason to come home at night. I don't know what I will do if he leaves me
