Have you read my thread about my schnauzer with lympthoma?

The way I understand it, the treatment is similar to cats as well as dogs. The good part about chemo in animals is that they, on a relative scale, do not "dose" the animal as heavy as a human because remission goals are shorter. For example, in a human, chemo goals are for remission up to 15 years. Obviously since our pet's life spans are not that long, most that get it are old anyway, the goal is only 1 to 2 years. So scale to scale the doses are smaller.

Chemo in animals is really low impact. No significant hair lose and, in the case of my schnauzer, you really cannot tell there is anything wrong with it at all.. let alone cancer...

I suggest seeing a Veterinarian right away about this. Lympthoma spreads faster then wildfire, you need to address this immediately in order for it to "not be too late".

Sorry, I know of no other effective treatment, perhaps someone else will post to this thread some alternative remedies.
