My dog (Blue) 7 yrs old in July, has just been diagnosed with Lymphosarcoma. I am at a loss. I have been reading up on this specific cancer. He is a Catahoula Leopard.
He was at the vet in March to get a cortisone injection and his weight was 75#. I took him back 6 weeks later, for another injection and his lymph nodes were swollen in his groin area, legs, neck, chest and his spleen as well. He was also down to 66.5# now.
His vet did a cytology of his lymh node in the leg and the cells were crazy, suggested biopsy. I left him there that day and this Fri. - one week later - the results are Lymphosarcoma.
I am not able to do Chemo and I am looking for a more Holistic approach, so I have seen a few helpful notes. Anyone with input, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You, Dolly and her girls
