Peppersb,

I am sorry that you got the cancer talk too. I know that is hard that is what my mpoo had and we dealt with the same questions and it is very hard. I am still hoping for your finding out that it is not cancer but something else instead.

You are in our thoughts and prayers and we are sending positive energy to you both.

Blessings for being such a wonderful mom to your furbabies.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through and hope it turns out to be something easy to treat. Thank you for posting the photos. He looks like a wonderful boy.

The news is absolutely as good as good can be. After one month of increasingly violent sneezes that spattered blood all over the place, Bob is going to be OK. I was quite sure that it was nasal cancer (the doctor had said that cancer was the most likely diagnosis). But a CT scan this morning showed that there was no cancer!!! Great news! But that left the question of why he has been sneezing blood unanswered. At that point, I authorized a rhinoscope exam and (if necessary) a biopsy.

The rhinoscope (a camera up the nose) gave us the really really good news. Bob had a 6 cm blade of grass up his nose! It had been there for over a month, and our very talented vet was able to use an endoscopic microforceps to pull in out of Bob’s left nostril. Then he flushed the nose out for about 20 minutes. The doctor put the grass in a jar and gave it to me. He also gave me a video showing the interior of Bob’s nose with the grass in it.

All sneezing should now stop. There may be a bit of bleeding for the next day or 2 due to the scope going up his nose, but he should recover completely! He was under general anesthesia for two hours today, and he seems to be doing just fine. I got my boy back and I am very very happy!!!!

Thank you thank you thank you to God who has absolute control over every blade of grass in the universe, and to our fabulous vet who managed to gain control over one very annoying blade of grass. And thanks to all of you for your ideas, prayers, kind thoughts and support!

Oh peppersb, what WONDERFUL news!! I share your relief and great joy that Bob is and will be fine! He just has to learn when he stops to smell the flowers, not to sniff too hard!! I know you can laugh now, with a much eased heart. BEST NEWS THERE COULD BE, I truly celebrate it with you!! See, the power of poodle people pulling for you really means something!! Yippee!!

Every time I have that fear for a loved one, two-legged or four, and I am wrong, I say, "I hope I'm wrong like this again and again and again!" Isn't it incredible how our minds torture us with worries?! An imagination can be a beast at times. I anticipate an extra happy holiday season for you and yours. I know you'll lavish the usual abundant love and gifts on your spoos, but I do think you should gift yourself with a spa day--you deserve it!!
