My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Had some bad news today

My old Westie Angus has been given us a few concerns since the christmas holidays when he had a fit.

Ive been taking him to the vets nearly every week and he has been having his urine checked at nearly every visit. The vet things he may have a tumour on his bladder. So next Tuesday i will be with him when he goes for a scan to find out if this is the case. I have not told the kids yet and i will wait till i have results before i mention it. The vet is fairly sure it is a tumour but is not sure how bad it is or if it has spread. The vet did want him in on Monday , but as that is V's birthday i did not want to be dealing with something major like that on what should be a happy day. (Even if he is away at work)

Not the news i want really. He was supposed to be going for his annual boosters and they were going to give him a check up prior to his pets passport being actioned. Not too sure what will happen now.

As Angus is fine in him self , a little grouchy and sleepy but he is coming up for 13 so i just thought it was normal old age.

I confess ive shed a few tears today. The thought that my 'baby' might have to be put down is not something i wanted to contemplate.

When the kids are in bed i shall give V the news, i just know he will be as upset as me. I hate it when we are apart and have to deal with things like this.

Im trying to prepare my self for the options that we may have.

Ive got my fingers crossed that the vet is wrong.

My thoughts are with you...
