GD Cancer...

After reading Vinny and Byrons threads I thought I'd post up what I'm dealing w/ now. I have 2 Vizsla's...brothers from the same litter. About 4 mos ago Enzo started having swelling in his lymph nodes. Thought the were fatty cysts. Took him to the vet 6 weeks ago and they knew right away it was Lymphoma. Referred us to an actual veterinary oncologist nearby. They've put him on steriods and anti inflammitories. He'd have less than 3 mos if we did nothing. Dr. feels he can go 1 to up to 4 years more. Pricey, but money well spent. We've been hammering the quail and enjoying our time together...I can think of nothing better. If only my shooting was better. This was today. Went 1 for 3...but Enzo found the bird I'd given up for lost! (Don't mind Cam...he doesn't like getting his picture taken)

Nice looking pups. Good thoughts your way for a longer life. We are coming up on two years (Dec.) since our dog had her surgery for cancer. She is getting to be a lumpy old girl but we are going to enjoy her as long as we can. Spoil them while you can.

Sorry to hear the news.
I lost two Vizslas to Cancer. One was spleen, another mass cell tumors. The first one I lost about 15 years ago, chemo in dogs was sort of hit and miss. I am sure its come a long ways.
Glad to see they are still out hunting. The quail up in Nor Cal have been plenty!

Thx! We spent about 12k on that $900 dog. Got a new model in June...this one kept Enzo's spirits up a couple extra months I think!

That's a good looking pup.
I got the urge to scruff up those ears and give his back a good scratching.

Sorry for your loss Jim.
Thanks for the pictures.
The new crew looks great, did bringing her weight up improve the "face hawk" aspect?

YEP! Now I'm using unseeled older pheasants...she is 3 for 5 on this last batch. Of the 2 lost, she tends to take it out on my hand! These birds are like the crazy red headed strippers of the falconry world!

i assume they did biopsies of these nodes to establish lymphoma type? many of them are rather low grade and , in fact very sensitive to relatively mild chemotherapy. have you asked vet about chemo? the roid/ anti inflammatories are just treating symptoms.. jmho. best of luck woonderful looking dogs
