[_____V_____]

His first day treatment is complete.

Limp is still there (front left leg and back right leg), but he is as spright as ever. The vets said they would be back on the 4th morning from today to check on his progress, before deciding a further course of action.

Malignant genetic nodular cancer of the spinal cord, they say. It is of the spreading type, so there's no chance of recovery from surgery.

2 medium-sized nodules on the top part of his tail (where it joins with the body). No bleeding. Just hard to the touch, and somewhat dark bluish-black in color.

If he responds to the initial treatment, no further nodules will be formed. The medication and shots will continue for 3 months, which will slowly suppress the nodules.

If not, there will be more of them, dotting the spinal cord, and paralysis will gradually set in from the waist onwards (attacking both hind legs first). Chemotherapy will be a must then. No gurantee of any response, let alone recovery.

I can only pray and hope it doesnt come to that.

Thanks for the kind wishes.
