My 6 month old, deaf, female, blaze, from Marshall Farms was diagnosed with
juvenille lymphoma today. The signs were white nose, gums and pads; she
was also very lothargic. I brought her to the vets and they did blood work
on her and it showed definite signs of the disease. Everything I have read
points to a fast moving disease that will kill her quickly. If anyone has
any info on this would you please send it to me. I am very desperate and
very scared to lose my little Sassy.
She is at the vets overnight tonight where they are giving her sub Q fluids
and have started her on prednisone to see if her blood reacts positively to
the medication. I don't know what to do. Should I put her down so that
she won't have to suffer? If I bring her home will she be ok for a while
or will I know when she is in pain? They act so normal and then boom it
hits. I just don't want her to suffer. Any help or advice would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Paula and the crew of four waiting for the fifth to come home.
