Any experience with a dog with hemangiosarcoma? (NSFW because 2nd and 3rd pictures are bloody, apologies)
Our Ibizan Hound (9-year-old) was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma back in February 2026, right on his groin. We couldn’t afford surgery, even when another specialist had a lower quote, so all we are left with is trying to maintain his quality of life. He acts totally normal; gets excited to go for walks and play, eats and drinks the same, no change in energy. But the “wound” as I’ve been calling it obviously will only continue to get worse and recently it’s been bleeding slightly non-stop. Went to the emergency vet, advice was the same as the primary and the specialist: it’s not going to get better without surgery. Just looking for anyone with a similar experience, was there a better way you maintained it to stop it from bleeding? At what point was it clear that their QoL was too diminished? My biggest fear is putting him down too early because again, he doesn’t show signs of distress or great discomfort besides licking his paws a lot because I think he wants to lick the wound but knows we can’t let him. We use Yunnan Baiyao pills, warm compress, liquid bandage and manuka honey.
