Canine Liver Cancer
My neighbor has a 10 year old mixed mongrel bitch that recently was diagnosed with cancer of the liver.
The vet found a mass on her liver which was later found to be leiomyosarcoma. She was devastated when told of the news and the vet told her that the dog will not live more than 6 months.
The oncologist has recommended that the dog be treated with chemotherapy but that would have affected her quality of life. However, the dog seems to be in fine spirits despite it all and does not seem to be in any pain of any kind.
My neighbor is hopeful that with good care and lots of love, that her sick beloved dog will live beyond the 6 months and more.
