Our dog was just diagnosed with lymphoma. He had a bad cough, took him to the vet a couple weeks ago, Vet said he had pneumonia and his lymph nodes were swollen. Fast forward to yesterday. Vet tested his lymph nodes and confirmed cancer.
He sees a oncologist Tuesday.
It's been 30+ years since I've owned a dog. I used to have two. This little guy has grown on me over the past year or so and now it looks like his days are numbered.
Tears me apart really. What a fucked up thing to do to a dog who does nothing but give you love and companionship.
I'm hearing chemo might extend his time by a year or several. I've also heard dogs take chemo much better than humans.
Anyone been through this??
Yeah that's me, a very rare picture around hereand Biggy

Bummer, I hate to hear that, but I can send you to someone who might be able to help or at least answer some of your questions, my Wife Terri works with a animal behaviorist/veterinarian technician, she's out West in California, I attached a link to her web-site, go the "Dear Shannon" and ask her what's best for your doggie, she's great, you won't be sorry.
He's a cute little guy, good luck.

Sucks for sure. We've only had him for a year and a half or so, but man do you get attached so quick.

Wow, Vic. I'm so sorry to hear this
IMO I don't think I'd put him through the treatment, but that's a hard decision to make. Idk.

Chemo round one done. He has stage 4 lymphoma. We don't know which lymphoma but it doesn't matter, the treatment is the same. Hoping for the best.

Very sad news sir... :(

So sorry to read this. I have lost 3 dogs to cancer. Seems like the dogs don't show signs of being sick until they are very sick. Wish you and your doggie all the best and hope for a miracle. It tears me apart every time I lose one of our dogs.
