This is the text from the discharge:
Maggie is a 7 year old labrador retriever who was referred for evaluation of lethargy, coughing ,labored breathing due to diffuse invasive nodules throughout all of her lung lobes . She has crackles and abnormal lung sounds on both sides of her chest. We performed a fine needle aspiration of a nodule that was identifiable and localizeable with ultrasound. The tissue samples have been submitted to the laboratory for confirmation of invasive lung cancer. Other considerations include diffuse granulomatous disease (an inflammatory disease that should have shown slowly progressive signs of coughing and laboring to breathe and lymphoma, a cancer that is occasionally nodular. The initial impression from the aspiration sample is that the disease is of a soft tissue cancer that may have spread to the lungs from a bone or abdominal site.
The only therapy available for Maggie would be chemotherapy but it is not the ideal therapy to treat extensive and advanced disease. We would need to perform a staging examination if you were to consider this therapy. This would include abdominal ultrasound and blood work. You may be forced to consider euthanasia if she does not rally and resume eating .
We are sorry for the bad news but there is always a kernel of good news in all bad news. In this case she has not suffered with her disease for many months as so many dogs afflicted with cancer do.
