Second Opinion
Bellie has terminal mast cell cancer and was given 2-5 months. She has a tumor on her leg that I missed over the winter under her fur coat. Today we're going for a second opinion: Is it too late for surgery? Her age is unknown, our best guess is 11 to 12 which is now a long life for a Golden. Golden's, due to inbreeding, now have a span of 8 years (according to one of her Hillside Vets). Golden's are at 80% for cancer.
I live with such theatrical beauty. Some former Vet visit days. A worried Bellie rests her head on my ankle.
