Please wish Cassie good luck on her surgery

Sending bunches of hugs and prayers for Cassie. We've been down that road with the growths, and I know what it's like to wait for the results. We all hope for the best for her. Hang in there.

Ann, honey, thank you so very much. We hope for the best too.

Thank you for your response. I truly appreciate it from my heart.

I will keep you all updated. Promise.
 
Dear Mally'sMom and all our well-wishers... first of all - Bless you all for your good wishes and prayers.

Her vet. doctor called today. The blood test they did yesterday came out normal for the most part except one number that showed she has an underactive thyroid. Norm is 1 - 4 for the dogs, and Cassie has .3, which is way too low. She is going to take a med. similar to synthroid, but for the dogs.

The doctor is optimistic that the growths are benign. But she suggests to remove them. Well, it's OK with us as long as it's benign.

I will keep you posted.
We certainly hope for the best.

Well, this all sounds good. Thyroid is treatable with meds and hopefully the doctors right and they growths are benign. Keep us posted and we'll keep Cassie in our prayers!

MissSuzie, thank you so very much, from my heart! I WILL keep you updated. Your sheltie is pure adorable and beautiful..

I'd kiss all your ladies' shelties into their cold noses. LOL I think my hubby and me are both sheltieholics.

Just caught this threat -- how is Cassie? Please tell her that as a fellow hypothyroid, I send great encouragement. Medication fixes everything!! :yes:

Awwww..... thank you Sable and Chris.
Amazingly I myself am hypothyroid too. LOL Cassie seems to be doing fine. But I wonder something ... what is it like for Cassie to feel better? Just stop gaining weight, or she becomes perkier? May be she'll get more energy.

I am curious to see what it is like with the dogs. Her tumors seem to be movable, which I hope it is a good sign.

Today Cassie was groomed. We want her to be clean for the surgery.

Thank you all so very much for good wishes and the prayers for Cassie. OUR shelties are so very special to us aren't they?

I will keep you updated about the surgery.

That's great you have a diagnosis now and can do something to help. Fingers and paws crossed that everything goes well with the surgery, she'll be back with you and even perkier than before.

My maltese was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a few months ago. She lost a little weight and definitely got more energy since being on meds. . She was so depressed before we found out her thyroid was low. She wouldn't greet us at the door and wasn't excited about anything. Now she runs to the door when we come home and is excited for food and treats again.
 
Our Kaylee was on thyroid meds - she was a senior and soon after she started taking them you would think she was half her age, so playful and eager! It is so wonderful to watch our furry ones improve. Best of luck to you and Cassie, hope it all turns out ok!

Thank you so much Caro. We hope so. My best hope is that those growth are not dangerous.
