I could really use some help with the large mass we found I posted about Sunday.

This is very scary & no one is telling me anything. Vets want $1000 just for ultrasound & bloodwork. I have been unable to walk or stand long enough to work since I was rear ended in a car accident in August. Her BEAM is great but this is serious.

 

[Dr. Jean Hofve]

I cannot find a previous post on this, can you provide the standard information (age, symptoms, BEAM, etc.), any notes from the veterinarian or radiologist? I'm terrible at reading radiographs but these don't seem to be very clear.

Thank you so much for checking. Her BEAM is good. Shes 11yr old not spayed, white pit/Dogo possibly. Back in 2024 after contracting lyme she had mysterious and off bouts of heavy panting & trembling. About two weeks ago she started vomiting like crazy and I suspect it was acorns or something. Cleared that up & a day later it triggered lymes, she showed lameness & symptoms including the trembling & panting so I took her to homeopathic vet & was doing everything to control the lymes & worked great using arsenicum album 30c then Sulphur 30c & even hypericum just to see if that would help more but didnt do much better. Then she lost her ability to pee. She was filling up took her to ER Sunday they found a large mass right side.
I cant afford $1000 for tests & if I use the money I wont have anything to pay for further treatment. Found Clay County can take her for around $450 on the weekend for ultrasound bloodwork & visit then book her surgery if useful 3 weeks out much cheaper then anywhere else I've found. Ive reached out to Samantha's Fund here in Florida for help too.

Here is the original post. I warn you its a long one lol

Yes, it is potentially very serious.

Can you describe her (physically, and who she is as an individual)?

Any possible triggers for the urinary symptom (inability to urinate, urgency, narrow stream, etc.?

How is she peeing now?

Does she have any prior medical history?

When were her last shots etc??

Please remind me the name of your vet homeopath?

Making a recheck appointment with them might be a good next step for you.

Can you describe her (physically, and who she is as an individual)? Yes shes playful & friendly very social, tends to be content laying & cuddling & would lick me to death if she could.

Any possible triggers for the urinary symptom (inability to urinate, urgency, narrow stream, etc.? Just the recent few weeks where she had been throwing up from acorns which triggered reoccurring lymes but the mass blocked her temporarily. The methadone they gave her worked & shes been doing great since

How is she peeing now? Normal.

Does she have any prior medical history? Yes my previous post Post in thread 'Nyxie is panting and/or shivering lately. Previous lyme issue.' Nyxie is panting and/or shivering lately. Previous lyme issue.

When were her last shots etc?? Back in New Orleans 2020ish They had a strict policy of putting down this breed without quarantine.

Please remind me the name of your vet homeopath? Kingsley Animal Hospital & previously Dr Segrera but only by phone the last couple years as we were in CT then came to FL.

Making a recheck appointment with them might be a good next step for you. They told me to get an ultrasound & blookwork & I found a place thats low cost total about $500 but the vets are saying this looks like extensive surgery something they dont handle which i dont know how ill afford it. Im hoping that by knowing what it is I can try ozone/oxygen, castor oil packs, parasite cleanses. I may have to go the preferred natural route but what are my options?

Can you gleen anything from the xrays?
Thank you!

Can you gleen anything from the xrays?

There is a big smooth mass in the area of her bladder.

It can be anything from a cyst, to a pyometra (uterine "infection") to a cancer.

When was her last heat?

She just was in heat up until the acorns incident a couple weeks ago. We had discussed that but they sort of brushed it off as more likely ovarian/uterine but I believe either is possible. I have the gabaoentin on hand and give it to her as needed. She seems to do well with alternating arnica 200x & CBG /CBD as well
