hi all
my 11year old german sheperd shila has been diagnosed with lymphoma
it all started when she started to drink lots more water than usual
finally the vet found the cause
has any members dog had to go through this
any information would be a great help

I'm sorry to read this. I've had no experience of this with any of my own dogs and I hope I never do. As I understand it from what I have read online the prognosis is not good. Is there any chance that the vet could be wrong?

thanks for your message
the vet told me it was the end of the line for shila
but over the weekend she has picked up alot, back to normal nearly .
so we took her back to the vets today he was astounded at her well being.
i ask him where the lymphona was he said he wasnt really sure
even after 4 blood tests 4 urine tests , 2 lots xrays
considering he wanted to put her to sleep on thursday you would think he could tell me more about her condition

just keeping our fingers crossed he has made a mistake

I'm sure you have probably done tons of research online as well but from what I've read there really is little or no hope of remission without aggressive treatment. Lets hope that the vet was wrong and that it is not lymphoma.
