Hi all, I got a private message from someone on here but silly me can't figure out how to respond! So...I'm responding here on my blog. The reason I haven't been around much lately is because I've been trying to get up to speed on canine cancer, specifically the type of cancer my dog Lydia was recently diagnosed with.

Lydia has some small tumors removed along with one of her anal glands. Unfortunately the biopsy showed that it's anal gland cancer. Right now you wouldn't know she has cancer if you saw her, but I've been told this is an aggressive cancer. So, we're getting aggressive right back. She's on some supplements, is eating a new diet that's better for dogs with cancer, and is undergoing chemotherapy. She had her first treatment last week and if all goes well will have another in a couple weeks.

I don't have room to post all of the updates here, but if you're interested, I'm blogging about her health on my website: http://petsitusa.com/blog/?cat=27

And, before Lydia got sick, I had to deal with some health issues with my dog Archie! Thankfully he's doing better though and is helping me take care of Lydia.
