Default Unanswered: Scottie with Lymphoma

My 10 yr old scottie has lymphoma and have a few questions if someone can help me.
she has enlarged lympnodes all over an she is breathing heavily and now her nose is dry and crusty. I have actually had to clean her nose and got quite a bit out.
she use to eat like a pig and if food was out she would eat..now she eats a couple bites a day\
she drinks ALOT
at night she moves around alot trying to find comfortable spot

I just dont know what to do...I was going to put her down this coming week but sooo confused

I am so sorry to read this. I can only speak from my own experience. My parents dog developed lymphoma and went from appearing totally well to being PTS in a week. Steroids helped and gave us hope for 48 hours but as they wore off his condition worsened and we had to make the decision to let him go. Our vet said that by the time the dog showed symptoms - raised temp, nasal congestion etc - it was generally too late for chemo.

You need to talk to the vet obviously but that was our experience.
