Dimzdale is a 5year old Dark eyed white.  He is one of our 8 fuzzies.
Last vet vist our vet vet felt a mass and x-rayed.  It showed a mass on
his x-ray.  So we elected to do exploritory surgury.  I recieved a call
at work the day of surgury and the vet said that he has a cystic mass on
his liver.  The said it was to risky to remove and also said he had hair
balls.  Working in a toll booth in heavy traffic it was hard to make a
decision with the busyness of the day and high emotions.  Vet said they
could remove the hair ball but the liver was too risky and asked if
wanted to put him down because the liver eventually will fail.  I said no
just remove the hair ball and I'll take him home.  I needed a little time
to make sence of this whole thing and get all the facts.  Couple days
later I got the vet on the phone for a better explination of Dimmy's
condition.
 
The day I got the info from the surgeon and here's the low-down.
 
There is a cystic-masses [cluster] on the right lobe.  There are other
cysts on the liver in various spots on the other lobes.  Again the right
lobe is where the mass is.  Total coverage on the liver 30%.
 
The cysts are watery-clear with spotchy red in some of them in the mass
on the right lobe.
 
So at his point we have a cluster of cysts on the right lobe.  Various
single cysts on other areas.  Total cyst coverage 30% of liver.
 
Now this is where I need help.  If anyone has had experience with sort of
thing or know a vet who maybe has had sucess with this sort of problem.
Or knows of anyone.  Please let me know.  Dimmy is a fighter and we are
not giving up with out a fight.
 
Thank You
