Soft tissue growth under tongue (American Bull)
This has just showed itself and as the video shows it's a soft (not
hard) growth just under and to the right of the bottom of the tongue I'm hoping the cost to get it lanced will not be so high that we wont have any choice but to euthanize the dog, anybody seen this ? video; (the growth is not painful and has no fluid in it) http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/8595/file1632.mp4 |

At any rate there's no way to know until you get it excised. I would imagine they'd want to take an X-ray first to see the bone structure for local invasion. At least that's what I'd allow - X-ray and surgery. If it turns out to be a cancerous growth further treatment could be done, but surgery alone will slow or stop some of these cancers. http://www.avds-online.org/info/oraltumors.html ............As to your comment further down about the NGs going to the dogs, well, yes they have. Not because of Google but because of Facebook, blogs and private forums. This mode of communication seems too old-fashioned for most people. best of luck to you and your pup buglady take out the dog before replying |

I think Immiticide was in short supply late last year, dont' know if supply has improved. Certainly one could start with doxycycline to knock out the parasite that lives in heartworm (Wolfbachia), which has perhaps been implicated in bad reactions in worm dieoffs. http://veterinarynews.dvm360.com/dvm....jsp?id=735359 I'd certainly give this pup a chance. Maybe add some supplements to diet to help heart - CoQ10-, fish oil, L-carnitine, etc. Good reading he http://www.dogaware.com/articles/newsimmiticide.html Continued luck to you, buglady take out the dog before replying |

They're charging that much for just the Immiticide? Or does the cost figure in doxy, perhaps steroids, etc., IOW the whole treatment? buglady take out the dog before replying |

But they sometimes need 3, so I wonder what the price includes. .........Yikes I checked prices online and some report as high as 1500 bucks! Highway robbery. But a mastiff in 2010 only cost 500 bucks: http://www.petmd.com/blogs/fullyvett...t#.T1vmNPVgG1s buglady take out the dog before replying |

Well, shuckey-darn. Level 3 heartworm.....
Ivermectin is being used around here when imiticide isn't available, after a course of doxy. At least in dogs that aren't in the Collie family. Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia, USA |
