Sissi - my little princess

Hey folks,

 

 

Today I decided to have a sale not just for the heck of it or to celebrate anything in particular, but for something much more serious.

Last week I was rough housing with my dog Sissi ( Chihuahua-Pinscher 10years young ) when I noticed abnormal swelling on her back leg, obviously concerned with this I decided to take her to the vet for further explanation on the swelling only to be told first it was inflammation but further investigation and tissue samples taken revealed she had stage 2 mastocytosis .

To put it simple she had developed tumors in her leg that require immediate attention that has left me to make two decisions.

One being a form of therapy with a medicine called Masivet that reduces the spread possibly fully removing the cancer, but over time is far more costly.

And two the removal of the infected leg.. Until further notice I have yet to decide on a final decision for her fate but for now I decided to have a sale to raise money for her all items in my store have been marked down as well as a new camo tank release that are marked down as well.

Any purchases or Donations will help!!!

Thank you so much! <3

 

 

Ill try to post any news about her here if possible....

 

 

Hey again,

I just wanted to give you guys a little update of Sissi. Today I went to the vet again to have some xrays taken. They found out that no other organs are threatened by the tumors, meaning they didn’t spread. But either way I have to make a decision by Monday: to either choose the surgery which will mean the removal of her leg or to start a chemo therapy.

But on a good note, Sissi was feeling better today and started to eat again and isn’t holding a grudge against me anymore.

 

This is what her leg looks like right now. It still looks bad but not as bad as it did a couple of days ago. She was given cortisone shots which took down the swelling. But in the long run the cortisone won’t be the solution.

 

 

Hello Peeps,

 

today was Sissi's "Day of no return". She had her surgery this morning.

The surgical intervention went without any complications and i got the permission already to take her back home again. Right now she is cuddled up on my lap and is half asleep.

She is really brave and started walking/jumping on 3 legs directly after she woke up.

In a few days im gonna post a picture of her on flickr but for now she needs some time to recover from the surgery.

I just want to say thank you to you all for supporting us the last days, i really appreciate it!!
