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.
