We received a visual inspection diagnosis 2 weeks ago. They scoped the stomach, said it appears to be adenocarcinoma of the pylorus. They took biopsies, but te results were inconclusive. Would the endoscopist really be able to have a good feel for the diagnosis?
The area had been bleeding....tarry stools, vomiting undigested blood, weakness, SEVERE anemia. Dog received two transfusions.
He is now on Carafate and Pepcid several times a day. He seems to be making a miraculous recovery. Gums are now pink, he is eating and feeling well.....
What is the deal? Maybe he doesn't have cancer after all. OR are the medications stopping the bleeding, giving him more time?
He is 14.....what if the Dr. made a mistake, and it is not cancer?
I now need to know how long do I keep him on these medications....I am afraid to stop them, for maybe the bleeding and anemia will return...
