    Prayers for your pup. Wife and I have no kids so our dogs are our kids.

    Just lost a boxer to cancer(lymphoma) that we fought for 3 years. He was only 6 when he passed. What kept him alive and in no pain was some vitamins called Denamarin. They are for elevated liver enzymes. That are freaking amazing and I highly suggest you asking your vet about them. Don't buy them from the vet because you can get them on Amazon for much cheap.

    Google denamarin and see all the positive feedback.
    $92 Nutramax Laboratories Denamarin for Dogs Chewable Tablets - 75 Count
    http://www.amazon.com/Nutramax-Denamarin-Chewable-Tablets-Count/dp/B0039P4R8O

    Where the mass was removed your pup is more than likely to get a seroma. Where it was removed it will fill up and swell with pus. Its the bodies way of saying what is this empty spot where something used to be. This is very common so dont freak out. To aid the drainage hold a damp cloth with WARM water over it. Your pup will thank you!

    Prayers and god bless

    Thanks for the advice, I will certainly check out that drug for her.

    she did not have a mass removed, the lump on her shoulder is a swelling or fluid mass that is caused by laying on hard surfaces. They are common in horses. We give her soft beds, but she usually balls them up as a pillow and sleeps on the hard floor.

    Once we get the infection taken care of, we will look further in to the blood results and the lump in her mammary gland.

    BTW, love that T-Bird you are showing for sale. My first car was a 1967 Thuderbird Landau.

    I just know Piggy will pull through and thanks for the compliment on the T-Bird. When we lost our Boxer to lymphoma we actually got an American Bulldog. Bulldogs are awesome dogs! Little guy is only 6 months old and 63 pounds.

    she is pretty indifferent. She's a pretty laid back kinda dog. She really liked her safety glasses too.

    How is Piggy doing?

    Did you ask your doctor about denamarin?

    She is doing OK this morning. We changed her bandage and she had some breakfast. She naps a lot, but she always did. Still pretty weak, but she has not eaten much in the past few days.

    I did not think to ask about the Denamarin, there was a ton going on. I will do some reading on it though. Right now we are concentrated on her infection and getting her back onher feet. We will deal with the organ issues once she is a bit better.

    Dr Pote called this morning to check up on her and is thrilled that she is eating and more alert. He is getting us some pain meds in case she has some comfort issues.

    Thank you all for your support.
