Once again, I’ve neglected this awesome tripawds community. It’s been a rough few weeks of a roller coaster ride…ups and downs, twists and turns. After Toto’s last surgery she bounced back really well! She had some really great and happy days of long car rides and tail wags. Until one day two weeks ago when she woke up and couldn’t get up off of her bed. The vet treated her for an injury to her left rear leg just treating the pain with tramadol. Next day, it’s like the incident never happened! She had about 5 more great days! Then last week, both rear legs kind of buckled under her and she couldn’t and wouldn’t even try to get up. Vet gave her prednisone and we continued the tramadol and told us the cancer was most likely hitting her spine. Guess what though? Nearly a week of great days. She also had “the cough” so we knew the cancer was now in her lungs as well.
Saturday night was bad…Sunday was worse. I’m sorry to inform this community that Toto has lost her battle with histiocytic sarcoma. She fought hard and I’m certain she had far many more pain free days than not.
I still intend to keep her blog running…with memories and pictures. She was a dog with many little funny quirks to share. And I fully intend on continuing to support this fine cause.
Thank you for the support over the past 3 months…I honestly don’t know how I’d have fared through it all without this community.
REST IN PEACE SWEET TOTO.
