Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue

Update on our *Special Boxer…
Two weeks ago SB had a splenectomy. We got the pathology report back a couple days ago, and it was certainly not what we wanted to hear.
The mass came back and it’s Hemangiosarcoma (HSA). It is a highly malignant cancer of blood vessels, most commonly affecting the spleen or heart.
As of now, the lungs are clear and no other masses were seen on any other organs. We will continue to monitor SB and keep a close eye out for any signs as things progress.
SB will be on medication, and a few holistic meds also (Yunnan and Turkey Tail Mushrooms).
Foster mom has started cooking meals, high protein and appropriate vegetables along with no/low carbs or sugar.
If you have any experience with HSA, and would like to share what you did, please leave a comment, because foster mom would love to read about your experiences.
Please keep this SB in your thoughts,and let’s hope for defying the odds!

Update on our *Special Boxer (full story on our page)
After the emergency spleen surgery, *SB is doing well. It took several days for *SB to even remotely feel like trying to move, but is now definitely feeling better. *SB will be going back to the vet for removal of the stitches next week. *SB has been through so much, but continues to be so loving. We will continue to update as we can.
