I have one dog at home right now, where normally there are two. I know this doesn't seem like much but MaiTai, the youngest of the two, is sulking, wandering around the house morosely (okay, that was 10 minutes ago, now she's just laying on the floor pining) trying to figure out where WonTon, her "older brother" has gone to.
This morning we loaded WonTon into the car, drove a half hour to the vet clinic, dropped him off, and here I am, waiting for a phone call from the office to tell me that his surgery is done, please come pick him up, he's all better, here's your bill.
WonTon, for the second time in under two years, is having cancer removed.
I have to have a talk with him and make sure he knows that if he wants attention he doesn't have to get cancer, he can just come nuzzle us a bit and we'll pet him, or scratch at the door and we'll let him out. It's a lot less of a pain in the butt way to get attention than getting cancer.
Bozo. *sigh*

We haven't heard the shark cartilage for this, but I had thought it was one of two things - 1) Very good for helping mending bones/joints 2) A false hope. I've never heard of it for cancer, but I'll ask the vet, he'll have a view on it, I'm sure. Thanks for the suggestion!
