My blind boxer girl

[KDENISE977]

When is she scheduled? I think the MRI will probably give you your answer. Good or bad, you need to know. Is she still on the prednisone?

No she's off the prednisone and on an antibiotic now. The MRI will have to be scheduled for the week after next, the neurologist is on vacation starting Friday. I'll drop her off in the a.m. and pick her up in the afternoon.

Good Luck with the MRI, KDenise. Sure hope this is able to tell you guys something about your girl.

It was today actually, picking her up in a few. It's an inoperable tumor pushing on her optic nerve causing the blindness.

This makes my heart hurt. I'm so sorry.

We decided we're going to meet with an oncologist

I was going to suggest a 2nd opinion. At least you have an answer. :-(

Sorry to hear that KD, wishing the best for you all and the pup.

I'm not giving up yet... I'm also not saying we'll do the radiation if they say it'll only give her a year or 18 months. There is a point where spending THAT much money with no guarantees or even solid answers promised. We'll meet with the oncologist, and then the neurologist wants to see us after THAT for another MRI to measure if the tumor grew and what it's growth rate is. Who has this kind of money???? the radiation is between $5k and $8k and each MRI is $1,200 and I still don't know how much the oncologist appointment will be WITHOUT factoring in the radiation? WHO pays for this stuff, how are they in business???

It's just stunning to think about those costs. Especially without insurance, which not many people have on their pets.

So sorry, KD. It is obvious how much you love your dogs. Hang in there.
