My 9 year old Lhasa Apso, Tony, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor today. I can't stop crying. He has been having problems with his left side of the face and treated for eye problems, but I knew that it was something serious. He saw a neurologist today....
I am so scared. I am going to find out more information about how bad things are on Tuesday - he goes in for an MRI and a spinal tap. If anyone has advice or experience with taking care of a doggy that has a brain tumor, please share them with me. I want to do what ever possible to make him comfortable and happy.

thank you.

Aww. Sending hugs to you, and well wishes to your Lhasa. My family always had Lhasa's growing up, and in fact, my mom has one that is 13 yrs old. Unfortunately, he is mostly blind now, diabetic, and not doing well.

  3. Puppy not growing?

    Dog Health Questions
    I have a border collie/red heeler puppy. He’ll be 5 months on the 23rd. I got him when he was 8 months, and he had grown normally until about 3 and a half months. After that, I haven’t really seen much of a difference. I’ve seen both border collies and heelers his age and they seem a lot bigger...

  5. Dog Hepatitis

    Dog Health Questions
    My eight year old poodle stiffened up at night and the next morning. I rushed her to the vet, who took her temperature and felt her stomach, looked at her eyes and said I can't find anything wrong with her. How about we give her a full blood workup. I agreed since it had never been done...
