[Dailydrool] Lymphoma advice needed

[Molly Thompson]

Hi Tecia,

So sorry to hear about Lawly Pop (love the name).

My Tucker had lymphoma. We opted to go with chemo for a while. We did a 
round of the CHOP protocol.  After discussion with our really nice vet, 
we decided to keep going with the pred. for a while until he passed. I 
believe it did extend his life, but he had the type of lymphoma that was 
throughout the internal organs.In fact, his lymph nodes were really not 
too swollen.

Dogs handle the chemo really well. He was never sick or even really 
tired. He just barked the entire time he was at the vet on treatment 
days! I do miss my boy still a lot.

I believe he was relatively happy throughout the whole thing. Dogs are 
amazing.

The AKC has a nice page on canine lymphoma - 
https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/lymphoma-in-dogs-symptoms-diagnosis-and-treatment/

Good luck and paws are crossed that this is just an infection.
