After a weekend full of rest & medication, Burleigh seems to be feeling better & back to his normal self after the reaction he had to sedation & stress of testing.

I am waiting to discuss with specialists & surgeon what his reaction means in regards to the recommended surgery. They have already informed me that there is potential for complications with this type of tumour/cancer.

His surgery is tenatively booked for March 9. However, have not yet decided if this is the route we will go.

I have contacted some Integrative/Hollistic Vets to discuss options & treatment plans as well.

Exploring all options, with the end goal of making him the most comfortable & providing the highest quality of life possible.

February 3, 2023

At 5:30am I woke up to Burleigh vomiting. His vomit contained blood and so I called the specialist’s office. Was told to monitor and to phone if he vomited again/refused to eat.

At 9:30am, he vomited again which once again contained blood. I phoned and they asked me to bring him in right away.

Initially, they thought it might be reaction to new prescription, however he had not yet started that medication.

They concluded that it was a reaction to the sedation, and a result of all the stress from testing two days prior. They sent us home with four medications.

Upon arriving home, he had a bowel movement which contained a rather large amount of blood. After another phone call, he was prescribed an additional medication.

Was told to monitor him, and if conditions continued/worsened to bring him into emergency clinic over the weekend.

February 1, 2023

Today was Burleigh’s appointment with the team of specialists. They did a thorough examination, and then Burleigh was sedated while they completed several tests.

Diagnostics:
• T4 and ALT
levels have continued to increase from previous bloodwork.
• Thyroid Ultrasound: right side thyroid enlargement, heterogenous, non-mobile. Consistent with thyroid neoplasia. Left thyroid is normal. Local lymph nodes appear normal and there is no obvious vascular invasion. Ultrasound findings are consistent with thyroid carcinoma.
• Abdominal Ultrasound: within normal limits. No evidence of metastasis.
• Chest X-Rays: no evidence of metastisis.

Plan:
• The recommendation is to pursue surgical resection of the mass.
• Monitor for worsening of clinical signs.

Prognosis:
• In many cases surgery can be curative. Tumors can aggressively invade local structures, which can occaisionally complicate surgical removal. Unfortunately, most thyroid tumors are malignant/aggresive and can spread to the surrounding tissues, structures and other organs. There was no evidence of spead of cancer today but please be aware that spread can be microscopic or delayed.
