lymphoma I am still learning so much about this awful disease-Tami-what does the prednisone do? I am wondering if that is something we could look to for when Cody comes out of remission. I don't fault anyone for not doing chemo-I think it is a very personal/painful/extremely hard decision to...

Tyson Hi I would probably go with your vets idea of doing the bloodwork. They can tell quite a bit just from taking blood. I am not by any means suggesting this or trying to scare you- but one of the first symptoms I noticed when my Cody became sick was a change in appetite. He has...

Thanks for support! Hi I just wanted to thank you all for your post and the support. Cody is currently in remission and doing great ! We are enjoying every moment with him and spoiling him rotten. Our vet has been very honest with us in saying that the remission could last as long as 12...

Hi Kristin You aren't a bad mommy!!! I don't know what this could be from but at least you were on top of the situation and Java is on the road to recovery ! Hope everything continues to improve ! Shannon Mom to Cody-7 yrs male fawn/white docked tail and ears Harley-5 yr female spayed...

Hi CC We are currently dealing with what my vet termed an "ulcer" in my Cody's eye. It started as being very pink/droopy and watery. Then he started scratching it alot. We are also treating Cody with chemo right now for lymphoma, so I was worried his eye was due to the chemo. Took him in and...

Hi ! I also have a female white and brindle"Harley"( actually all white except for one patch of brindle on her back !) that would get hives when she was a puppy. I never knew what it was that she was reacting to, but benadryl seemed to work wonders for her. After she was about 13 months old...

Hi everyone My Cody has just been diagnosed with lymphoma-hyper calcemeia(spelling?)He is a 7 year old male, fawn & white w/black(gray) mask-docked tail and ears that stand. Just a handsome boy! He has had his first chemo treatment and goes back on Mon for the next. I am in awe of how...

Hi Just wanted to send you and Cassie special prayers and lots of good thoughts. We just found out yesterday my Cody (7yrs-big beautiful fawn and white/black..well..kind of gray now..mask) has cancer. We too are devastated.We don't know what kind yet but I am trying to prepare for the worst...

Hi Adelle I have been thinking about you and Hooligan and meaning to check and see how things are going. I am so sorry things have gotten to this point . Wouldn't it be wonderful if we just didn't have to worry about our babies and they stayed healthy all the time? We are probably going to be...

How did your inspection go? I am so impressed by people like yourself who are willing to do this. I don't have any tips to offer but am wishing you the best of luck. I would love to hear how its going if you got your new baby! Shannon

Hi everyone My 8 year old male boxer Cody suddenly began drinking so much water that he can't hold his urine. I took hom to the vet expecting maybe his blood sugar to be off. Instead, they tell me everything checks out except he has a high calcium level in his blood which probably indicates...
