Well, figure it is about time for an update on Ginger – I can’t believe it has been over 2 weeks since we posted! Ginger has healed very well. Her fur is growing, her scar looks amazing, and we are very happy with how all of that turned out. She has finally finished all of the antibiotics! Yeah!
We have also gotten the pathology report from the vet. Ginger has been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. The vet said that we caught it early and she is hopeful that Ginger can beat the odds. We are now scheduled for our first oncology appointment next Monday. Turns out that the practice we are going to has an ongoing cancer research project specifically for Golden Retrievers. Lucky for us, it is close to home as well!
Ginger is doing terrifically. She is back to herself. She is interested in running around, and chewing on the cardboard tubes and pieces of wood she finds, chasing her frisbee – which she never brings back – and barking at the dog in the yard behind our fence! She has very few down moments, where she “just doesn’t want to” get up, or go out, or meet someone at the door. We’ve done some walks in the neighborhood, and she does great.
So, why wouldn’t Monday’s appointment be just as good??? The power of positive thinking… 🙂
