Update, she's out of surgery and doing well, I'll have more information when I pick her up!
Update, surgery is tomorrow (Friday) morning. After an ultrasound, it's difficult to tell if it's spread to her liver. Please keep her in your prayers β₯
We have some unexpected news. Mira has been diagnosed with a mass on her spleen. What I thought was originally weight gain, which did not improve, led me to believe she was having complications from her heartworm infection years ago. I took her in this morning for an x ray - to find that was not the case.
We have 3 options now.
1. Let it run it's course and keep her as comfortable as possible.
2. Euthanasia
3. Exploratory surgery
Her blood work looks good, and there is no evidence of distress on the chest x ray. So we've chose surgery, in hopes all goes well and the tumor is benign (which I understand is rare)
Mira's been in great spirits, eating well, and showing no symptoms other than a belly. Making this discovery very shocking, but also keeping us optimistic.
Now the part I hate the most, asking for help.
GK9 has throttled back over the last year, and funds are not what they were. If you're able to donate to her surgery, PayPal is the fastest way and all donations are tax deductible.

I thank everyone for all of there support over the years, this GK9 could not carry on without it
