Just wanted to let you all know that Misty passed away on Friday (April 8th).
Two months ago she had a slight bulging of the eyes and my vets have been investigating it (suspected a tooth root abscess) however, I finally got tired of them not being able to find anything and not listening to me (I kept asking them aboutpossible growthsin her chest but they told me she wasn't presenting those symptoms),so I took her to another vet who immediately did a chest xray (as I'd been asking my other vet to do) and found a large mass in her chest.
Thymoma was the suspected diagnosis since she had no behavioral changes what so ever until the last week where I noticed she was having a small hiccup every now and then and resting a little more often between her bunny 500 laps.
She and I went to the Cornell University Hospital for Animals on Friday and even though she was not displaying any bahavioral changes (she was a tough cookie), her heart and lungs were too compromised to survive the tests and her lungs at that point were already filling with fluid.
She really only had a very short time left and I'm devastated she's gone but if anyone was going to be able to help her, it was the amazing people at Cornell who have had success treating Thymomas in the past and were extremely helpful to Misty and I.
