Cappy's biopsy area on Feb 8th. Following surgery today to remove the malignant mast cell tumor. Doc felt he got clean margins all the way around and that there's less than a 25% probability of a regrowth in the same area. However, the not so good news is that Cappy's lost another pound and a half since last week and the blood and urinalysis today confirms the early onset of renal failure. He goes back on March 8th to get the stitches out from today's surgery. By then I will have gotten my head around the various options we have to begin treatment on my boy. Right now I'm only dealing with emotion. Any words of advice and/or encouragement from those of you who've had Labs that have gone through kidney failure would be appreciated. I recognize that you've all been more than generous lately with Cappy good thoughts but a continuing prayer would also be appreciated. This one really has me worried.
Cappy ... At my side for thirteen years, in my heart forever.

I know it's tough. Rusty looked like that after his mast cell surgery too. Tears your heart up. We had to go back under the knife after several days for a second round. Luckily it all worked out. That was a year and a half ago.
Cappy's in our thoughts and prayers.

one of my dogs two years ago had a tumor on his spleen the size of an egg. he is only 18 pounds so that was a pretty big one for him. he got it removed and still has cancer but has been living with it. hope everything goes well

Keep your head up and I hope Cappy heals soon and gets to feeling better.

im am sorry to hear about that, i had to put a mine down this time last year. The only advice i can give is that a dear friend was nice enough to make a shotgun shell with the ashes of my girl so that i could contine to take her hunting.
It's not skybusting, if you make the shot.

New here, i have lurked for months and love the Cappy stories, joined the forum just know to give you support. It breaks my heart so see an old boy like Cappy ill. I too have an older Lab, worry about this a lot. I wanted to wish you the best of luck. My bulldog has a tumor, not sure what it is but going to see vet on Friday. Hang in there Cappy!
