, Dr.. Williams I notice that you said lymphoma and when I went to
look it up that was listed. Is lymphoma and lymphosarcoma (sp) the
same thing then?
I know you are asking this of Dr. Williams so pardon my intrusion.
My Sable girl died of lymphsarcoma. The vet said originally that it
was lymphoma and put her on prednisone....its been a while so I dont
remember the dosage. It had invaded her stomach, lungs, spleen
etc.....she didnt last more than a week on the pred before she
needed a brochilador for her coughing/choking fits. No more than 6
weeks later I had to have her put down and the vet then told me that
it had to have been lymphosarcoma because its so much more agressive
and nasty than lymphoma. Just my 2 cents worth. I hope all works
out for you....Good Luck
