Vet says Maggie has a tumor or lesion on her brain

This is a special place for pups to share their love and support for each other during difficult times; it's a place to light candles, give the "Power of the Paw," and let everyfur know they are never ever alone.

Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now)

Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!		 
 
Barked: Fri Mar 2, '12 3:41pm PST 
We got a phone call from the vet today after having Maggie in last week due to her seizures. The vet said she is older than six years and that since her seizures were not controlled by the medication that it is either a lesion or a tumor on her brain and that she is only going to get worse so we have to consider that it may be time to let her go. My heart is breaking at the thought of seeing my sweet special girl go into that final sleep. I plan on spoiling her as much as I can in the next few weeks while we sell things off to get the extra cash together for her cremation. please tell me that there is a way to ease the breaking of my heart.

I hate that this is something we have to go through...the grief and sorrow of when we have a sick pet. It's hard but we try to think of the happy times, the memories...those will eventually overtake the "sick part" we have to go through. Sending you lots of PoP

Hope before you euthanize you take her to get a scan to confirm if it is a tumor.

Sometimes seizures don't respond to medication, or needs another type of medication.

I agree Lilith. Maggie went for a check-up. Lesions or tumours could be suspected, but can not be diagnosed without a proper scan. Treatment could be medication, surgery..there are options out there.cry

While it is quite sad that you will put Maggie down, I am curious as to why the vet waited a week to bring up this diagnosis. When Dahlia had seizures, my vet told me there was no way to tell if it was a tumor without an MRI. Have you considered trying another vet who is more knowledgeable about treating a dog who has seizures? There is a wide variety of meds for this disorder and with time & patience, they can be adjusted to make her life better.
