So, Vet 1 called me this afternoon to tell me (and I quote) " The urine tested positive for antigens consistent with a bladder tumor." (end quote) She then recommended me to a vet in SLC who is a surgical specialist in bladder tumors. I feel like rosie when she tips her head and TRIES so hard to understand what people are saying. But what I am hearing is
1. I checked real good and there are no bladder stones, so therefore it must be a tumor.
2. I don't want to deal with you anymore, so go to SLC to this expensive doctor and he will operate and remove said tumor.
What I learned yesterday was:
1. There were a LOT of bladder stones.
2. Bladder tumors are mostly inoperable.
So now my response is REALLY? Are you for real? I of course put in a call to vet2 to see if the presence of bladderstones could cause a positive antigen report, and she is of course having a day off until Thursday. So I guess it is possible that Fatdog may still have cancer. Unlike last time though I am refusing to go into panic mode until I talk to Vet2 because quite honestly I think Vet1 is an idiot.
p.s. rosie is doing well. :-]

Seriously?!? So here is my 2-cents. I think Vet 2 would have seen a tumor while in oporation for the stones. However, she could have missed that because she wasn't looking for it. Good luck Thursday.
Thanks, I agree with you. I think she would have seen it. Like I said, I think vet1 is an idiot!
