Today was our appointment with Dylan's oncologist at the Animal Health Trust.
After a short chat with Davide to update on the latest, I also mentioned that Dylan was shifting weight off his left hind leg since the Wednesday evening last week; no limping, just taking his weight off that leg when standing. I asked whether they could x-ray it whilst Dylan was under anaesthetics anyway. Davide said that he would get someone to look at it and then do the x-rays. Dylan was admitted (as always he just walked off without a backwards glance... he is so used to it all) and I went home. He was supposed to have his bloods done and provided all was well, the excision of the tumour was then scheduled for Tuesday.
Later in the afternoon Davide called and confirmed that Dylan's bloods came all back fine and that he has settled in well (and apparently he isn't singing either but sleeping quite deeply), which is comforting.
Apart from chest x-rays and excision of the tumour, they will also x-ray his hips and lumbar region as their surgeon thinks that this is where the problem is rather than the leg itself.
