This may have been discussed, but I guess if you do not have the issue, you might miss it.
Our Rosie, who is 8 1/2, was diagnosed with a small (1cm) mass in her bladder. We tried to catch enough urine to test, but her bladder was distended and we could not. She was seen by an oncologist who referred us to a specialist in radiology. The radiation is pinpointed rather than by a square. Rosie had 21 treatments.
It did not make her ill, but we needed to not wash her etc fort the over three weeks. Her bladder returned to normal and we are awaiting another visit to the Oncologist in 4 days. We were warned that she would still strain as her bladder would still be absorbing the radiation.
Right now she tends to urinate in the house. Not every day, but twice today. I think this is a side effect fo the radiation. She is taking Rimadyl and Gabapentin.
Has anyone gone through this with their dog? We are so worried. She is our 3rd Standard. They all had at least one relation in the line. She is a red standard and the line began with Shangri-La kennels. Rosie is not from Shangri La.
The cost of the radiation was enormous, but we love her so much. She has been the perfect dog. (except that she digs up my yard looking for moles)
