That's what Ken said, after I brought Maggie home from the ultrasound, cooked up some chicken breast (recommended by the vet to encourage her to eat), and we watched her gobble it up.
Big fat booger.
Welp, one set of X-Rays, one ultrasound, and about $800 later, here is what we know: Maggie is healthy as a horse. The ultrasound found nothing. The X-Rays found nothing. No mass in the ultrasound. All her organs look great. The only place they couldn't ultrasound was the neck area. This is a concern as her symptoms of not eating and gulping may be a result of a tumor pressing in on her neck. So guess what...we'd need to do a CT Scan for that. HUH???
I want to scream and leap for joy. I have a healthy dog who has decided not to eat. She's boycotting something. But today I discover she's apparently not boycotting fresh cooked chicken.
FIDDLE PLAYER!!!!
Don't get me wrong. She's still acting miserable. I'm sure the hot spot has a lot to do with that. And the pills might have been annoying her stomach. And I suppose, to be fair, there is the remote possibility that a tumor might be burrowing against her esophagus. But she's eating delicious savory chicken bits.
Ken says she'll never eat real dog food again.
Those eyes can make it look like the world is going to end tomorrow. Apparently overly dramatic tendencies run in the family. That beach trip is sounding much better.
