doctor geffen, a sarcoma in dogs, just that name, a, makes you think it is something scary and b, i don't want to think bit. what is it, because dogs and cats get it. >> it is a bad disease. it is a tumor of the blood organs and usually presents itself with tumors. the most of the time we see it because a large tumor ruptured inside the dog. >> you wouldn't even know if the dog had a tumor. >> you may not know it until the dog had symptoms f this tumor ruptures they bleed internally and they get weak, pass out and they look pale. interesting thing if you decided you could not get to the vet, within a day or two the dogs and cats can seem normal again but they have tumors. they spread throughout all of the organs and it is a bad within to have. >> does it come on fast and does your dog look bloated because of the blood loss internally. >> most of the time is it comes without warning. the it is not something that people would know about even on a examination unless you can feel a tumor inside growing even a vet may in the know until an episode happens. >> with a blood test preventive yearly blood test would that show anemia or anything. >> it would only show that if it ruptured recently. if the dog didn't have rupture his blood work could be completely normal. there might be he will racial in liver enzymes if it spread to those other organs but you wouldn't be able to specifically diagnosis that. >> so, you just, your dog could have it or could not have it, you have to watch for lethargy. >> if something is not right an x-ray or ultrasound might pick them up before they ruptured. >> bloat is a horrible condition. we have talk about it before. when the stomach twists. >> yes. >> new any treatments for this, any preventive things. >> they are still doing a lot of research, prevailing wisdom was not to eat dry food and not let dogs drink a lot of water and not to let them run around like a loon particular. >> or eat on a raised food bowl. >> but basically we're still back where we were not being able to prevent it but once there happens there are surgical techniques to fix it and keep it from happening again. it is essential to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. >> very fast hospitalized dogs and cats, very upset, they are trying something at a vet hospital, they have done a couple dogs, they put thunder shirt on that restrictive but not too restrictive shirt, do you believe that could work. >> i think it could work. there is in the enough numbers to really tell for sure. we welcome people to bring a toy or blanket that their dog or cat is used to, if it is at all possible and, of course, staff is always trying to pay attention and make these pets feel as comfortable as they can. >> thunder shirt is same kind of
