Why does cancer follow my pets? (Venting) (shepherd, vet, rescue)

[JViello]

I just lost my best friend 11 months ago, a young Maine Coon cat to cancer after a hard fight.

Love me/Hate me I really need your help, please.

...we decided to rescue a pup and luckily got an Australian Shepherd pup.

He had a lump on his lip, I thought it might be puppy acne...but it got bigger so back to our vet we go. It's out for biopsy and doc says it's a 50/50 shot. He's 5 months old. You'll see my posts on here about Roscoe.

I mean really. I'm praying it comes back benignmod edit.

I'm so very sorry about Leonardo. He was beautiful. Hoping very much for a good report on Roscoe. Life really pounds us sometimes, but try to stay positive. How long will it take to get the results?

I am so sorry you're facing this and will pray for your pup and your family. Hope it's benign and you're not left long in suspense.

I hope it's nothing. Try to stay positive if you can. Hugs for you!

Seriously, Jay? That's crap on crap!

But... let's think positively. Let's just *say* it's not cancer so that it won't *be* cancer. Try not to think about it unless you have to.

What vet did you go to? If you want a second opinion, I suggest Veterinary Specialists of Connecticut on North Main in West Hartford. Veterinary Specialists of CT - Dr. Jeffrey Berzon, Dr. Kenneth Knaack, Dr. Steve Leshem, Dr. Harlan Gustafson, Dr. Kimberly Maier, Dr. Deidre Galbo - Home

But I don't think that you'll need a second opinion because my mind is 100% completely SET on the fact that Roscoe does NOT have cancer. I'm going to keep saying that.

When will you get the results to prove that I'm right?

Pets living with smokers are likely to get cancer MORE than pets living with Non-smokers!

I am hoping for the best for your pup.

My dog got cancer(mast cell) but luckily it was only a stage 1,so she is fine today.

Please keep us updated.
