I am more worried about Bloat and Torsion??? Steven In a message dated 10/8/2010 3:39:07 P.M.

Hermangiosarcoma â?¦..it doesnâ??t sound like an evil word but Iâ??ve learned to HATE it with a vengance! First Gala. Then Cookie. Now Yancy. Yancy is goneâ?¦.. hermangiosarcoma. I canâ??t believe it still. He was acting just not quite right â?? the kind of thing that no one else would even notice but I knew something wasnâ??t right. Went in to my regular vet for blood work â?? white cell count slightly elevated - everything else OK. Was waiting on results from the â??bigâ?? stuff that went out to another lab. Went to the North Georgia GSD club meeting and picked up Moonshine [for Liz]. Got home, fed, got everyone settled in for the night and went to bed. Yancy woke me about 2 AM. Knew something was seriously wrong so off to the e-clinic we went. Two large tumors [one on his spleen ruptured and one on the liver with several smaller ones inside]. I had no choice but the one I had to make. Then he was goneâ?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦. There is a HUGE hole in my heart, my home, my life, and beside me. Over $1800 at the e-clinic has cut into and eaten my National funds. His legacy will live on in his children and grand children but right now all I want is him............
