If anyone could spare some rays or prayers, my mom's dachsie, Orson, was just diagnosed with bladder cancer and given little hope - they say it is very aggressive. Mom and Dad are 88 and they are getting pretty feeble, mom was diagnosed with breast cancer this summer, so losing their little dog right now is not going to help morale-wise. The one ray of good news - my sister found on the web that this type of cancer has been shown to be affected by piroxicam, the same drug that Stormy is on and Stormy is now 3 months past the time they gave him when he was diagnosed and apparently in full remission. Everybody keep your paws and fingers crossed and send good thoughts whenever you can.
Mega rays coming from MI
Rays for Orson coming along with some for Stormy's continuing good reports.
Tremendous rays and prayers are on their way for Orson and your parents. :pray: :pray: Wonderful news about Stormy. Prayers that Stormy's condition remains stable and in remission.
Prayers are on the way for Orson, Stormy and you mom. I hope they all fend off the cancer as well as Stormy has.
Rays to both puppers and Mom hope her baby will rally and be their for her during he breast cancer treatment.

I'm so sorry to hear this! Rays headed their way from CA! :pray:
Rays and prayers on the way - keeping good thoughts that the meds do the trick - please keep us posted -
Major rays headed for Orson and your mom. I was THRILLED to hear that Stormy is doing good. I was worried and concerned about his status but didn't feel right about asking.... I didn't want to seem nosy especially if things were as tough as we had initially with Franky.
One thing I've learned is to never underestimate the strength and tenacity of a dachshund.... they are strong in spirit and true fighters!
:pray:

Rays for Orson on the way! (Is he named for Orson Welles?) :pray: :pray: :heart: :heart:
Rich, I was just wondering. How is Orson doing? Continued prayers for Orson and your mom. :pray:
I'm sorry to say that last weekend Mom had to help Orson go to the bridge. He had gone down and was paralyzed as well as suffering from his cancer - it was just too far gone. I think that the vet didn't tell Mom how advanced it was. Mom spent the last few weeks trying to care for him, but his systems were all shutting down and the time had come. Mom is devastated.
I am so sorry to hear about Orson. It is so heartbreaking to lose a loved one. My prayers and thoughts are with your mom.
Darcel :pray: :heart:
Mega rays from OZ.

I am so sorry. Please give your mom my condolences. Godspeed, Orson - we know you have found lots of new buddies at the Rainbow Bridge, where you are once again the dachsie with a twinkle in your eyes!
Sorry to hear about Orson. Sending HHHHHH's & PPPPPPPPP's to your Mom. Let her know she has our deepest sympathy.
