We opted for a blood test...
June 2nd Results (2nd paper got lost by the vets but they said what's important in this case was the first page)
''Off results''
γ-GT 17,59 IU/L (1,20-6,40)
SGPT/ALT 407,06 IU/L (10,00-94,00)
ALP 249,00 IU/L (0,00-90,00)
They suspected liver cancer...
They suggested an ultrasound but unemployment funds were almost weeks away...
I was devastated...
Husko was prescribed to take
Prezolon 5mg (until we could have results from the ultrasound)
1. 1 morning & 1 night for 7 days
2. 1 morning for 7 days
18th July 2013
Day of the ultrasound and urine sample.
Ultrasound Results (in short):
Liver:enlarged
Gall Bladder:normal but with suspended precipitate
Spleen:normal
Kidneys:normal
Urinary bladder:normal
Pancreas:normal
Adrenals:Left normal .Right couldn't be checked
Gastrointestinal tract: normal
Comments: DIFFUSE liver disease (dd: lipidosis, steroids hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, lymphoma)
Urine sample results:
All normal except
Specific weight :1007
epithelial :rare
erythrocyte : rare
I asked the radiologist-vet if he sees cancer & what is the diagnosis ,and he replied ''i see no masses , but i don't give diagnosis ,just the results of specialty (ultrasound & x-rays)''
Ι thought that meant ''no cancer'' so i asked if the liver puncture should be done immediately or next month when funds would be better ,to which he replied ''next month would be fine''...
Postponing it would turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes in my life...

I took these results to my vets ,relieved believing Husko didn't have liver cancer.
They said ''no ,it's here and pointed at the last word of the comments section...Husko has liver cancer''.
I was devastated once again...nothing could be done medically so believing the vets, i could only postpone his death...
Husko was prescribed to take
Prezolon 5mg
2 morning & 2 night every day
+ plus
Animastrath
Royal Canine Hepatic dry food
Flagyl
Ursofalk
Denosyl
(also gave Milk Thistle ,not suggested by the vets they didn't even know it...started w/2 pills a day and finally ended up giving 5 pills a day when i felt things got worse)
Can't remember the exact date but Husko started limping his left front leg, which was swollen...
Visited the vets again...opened it to let the pus come out...it never closed again until he passed away...
Was prescribed Ceclor for that and his ear infection...
Visits to the vets had become weekly by August...
