Duke is a long-haired mini dachshund, who loves to chase lizards, hunt in the back yard, and play outside in the sunshine. I have had my sweet Duke all 9 years of his life, and he is still as spunky as ever. He lives with his Mommy, Daddy, human sister and brother. We recently lost his doggie sister Daisy, and I know he misses her everyday; Daisy and Duke were inseparable. Duke is the man of the house, making sure to keep his family safe with every loud bark. Sometimes I think he forgets he's only 12 pounds! He loves to explore the back yard, jumping on logs and prances through the grass like a bunny rabbit. Duke gives the best cuddles and loves rolling over for some belly scratches! He loves to cuddle most with my daughter (probably because she shares her goldfish) Duke was recently suddenly diagnosed with a rapid growing mast cell tumor. After establishing care at Fetch Specialty & Emergency Vet, we discovered the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes. Luckily by the grace of God, his spleen and liver have not been affected! This makes him a candidate for radiation treatment in combination with chemotherapy. He will need to undergo multiple treatments. I unexpected needed major lung surgery and was unable to work as an RN. I have many appointments to treat my chronic illness, and the medical bills pile up. It would mean the absolute world to have my Duke healthy and cancer free! He has been by my side through everything.
