Tico's current Health Status.

I'm sorry I didn't post all year when there was nothing but a Healthy Tico to report.
We've had a good year and He's been a happy, healthy, 11 year old puppy dog.

On Christmas Day, We picked up Mark and on the way home,
Mark discovered a rather large fatty lump on Tico's right shoulder.
We had him to Mission Pet Hospital on the following Monday to get it checked out.

Dr. Moser is new for us and very gentle with Tico.
She aspirated the Tumor and the results are:
Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

Now for the Good News,
Before the results were back, the Fatty Tumor has shrunk down to the size of a finger nail.
We're to wait 2 weeks, 
and if there isn't any change,
We'll schedule surgery to remove said Tumor.

Tico's still taking Chemo, 10 days on and 10 days off.
He takes it like a champ.
He even gets excited to do the process, excited and wagging his tail.
Unfortunately this Chemo doesn't respond to this new Cancer Issue.


In the meantime, Send us your love and healing thoughts.
Tico's happy and chasing balls.
These Photos are of Tico waiting for us at the Gym where he gets lots of attention and petting.

I'm sorry I haven't posted all the good news on Tico.
It's been 5 months into his Good Health.
He's still on Chemo, and He takes the Pill like a Champ!
We call him over and He runs over making excited noises.
It still take 3-4 tries to get it down, but He really does his best to make it easy on us both.

We don't even have to give him treats, it's the Toy playing that  is his reward.
And our reward as well, because a Healthy Dog and Happy Dog wants to play!

                         Tico enjoys the going to the Laundromat, 21 January 2014.

Having said that, We just had a scare with Tico's Health.
He was listless, didn't want to take long walks, couldn't jump up on the Bed or Couch.
We took him to Mission Pet Hospital and with another round of Blood Tests.
The Tests came out fine, He's ready to start up another round of Chemo (10 days) today.
He's on an Antibiotic that is doing the trick in getting him back on his feet, (or 4 paws).


Thank You Dr. Gordon and Mission Pet Hospital,
His Medicine and treatment is working!
