Is recovery from lymphoma possible?

Question: My dog, Girlie, is 12 and I just found out she has cutaneous lymphoma. It started as just itchy patches that she aggravated and infected. Then she was on meds for two weeks, and now, in the third week, a big lump is hanging in her groin area. There are nodes running down her leg. She is not in pain, but how does it spread so fast? My vet suggests I put her to sleep. I feel he is right, but is there ever recovery from this type of cancer in older dogs? – Joanne

Answer: From your description of Girlie, it sounds as if she has cutaneous lymphosarcoma with lymph node involvement. Lymphosarcoma is cancer of lymph nodes and lymphoid glands. When the disease is present in the skin, we call it cutaneous or skin lymphosarcoma.
This cancer can begin as you have described with patches of itchy, scaly skin.

The disease can progress quickly and lymph nodes in the groin can become enlarged. There is treatment available for this disease, but this type of cancer is usually not cured with treatment.

The aim of treatment is to provide comfort to Girlie by reducing the size of the lymph node swelling and by eliminating the itchy areas in the skin. The treatment for cutaneous lymphosarcoma is usually oral chemotherapy, which is very well tolerated even in older patients. Most oral chemotherapy protocols do not cause a poor appetite or gastrointestinal upset.

Most patients that receive oral chemotherapy continue to have a very good quality of life, with very minimal side effects to treatment. There is about a 50 percent chance the treatment will work for Girlie and she will be more comfortable. If the treatment works, it can work for six months to a year and possibly longer.

I recommend you have Girlie evaluated further so her disease can be staged and we can determine how progressed it is. Once we have more information, we can work out the best treatment plan for her.

First of all, you need to find out exactly which pooches you want to have invited to your dog?s birthday party.

Yes, it?s definitely a good idea to have people you know bring over their dogs for the dog themed birthday party. You can send out edible invitations that your soon-to-be party guests will love to eat. If you want to continue on with the planning of such an occasion, there?s more preparing to do. You need to make sure that a cake is baked. You shouldn?t bake a cake that?s not dog-friendly. It should be friendly for humans and dogs. This might be somewhat difficult to find, but there are stores that sell such cakes. Also, there are recipes that you can obtain that allow you to bake a cake that?s edible for humans and dogs.

Also, you need to let all of your doggie?s birthday guests know exactly where they need to be at for the party. You can spend a little extra cash to get a hold of some gifts for the birthday guests. It?d be very nice to have all of the doggie guests leave with a nice takeaway bag full of dog birthday treats and toys. You can throw a very nice dog themed birthday party for your pooch. Like I said before, there are many dog lovers who?re doing this, and it?s actually become a very nice trend.

Dog Accessories

Nearly every accessory exists for dogs today.  While some may not be necessities, there are many that are, and when it comes to clothing, jewelry and collars and charms for the dogs, the market is flooded with wonderful selections.

First when choosing dog accessories, consider the personality of your dog.  Are they an animal that is comfortable in clothing?  Are they fairly active? 

For dogs that are comfortable in clothing, there is everything to choose from dresses, shirts and slacks, shorts, hoodies, t-shirts, sweeters, windbreakers, raincoats, swimsuits shoes and sandals.  And, there is a style for every occasion from simple casual wear to elegant events.

For dogs that are not comfortable in clothing there are beautiful collars and charms, and other jewelry such as bracelets. 

For that special look accessories definitely are a fashion statement that helps to comfort, protect and bring out the personality in your pet.

Pomeranian needs food help after bladder surgery

Q: My 14-year-old Pomeranian underwent surgery about two years ago for bladder stones, and has been on Hills s/d ever since. Suddenly, she does not want to eat her food, but she will gobble down boiled egg or turkey. I’m worried she isn’t getting enough nutrition.
Should I switch to Royal Canin SO,dry or wet? Or should I home-cook her meals? I found a recipe for chicken, rice and parsley. Any help would be appreciated. The poor little girl is also on meds for congestive heart failure, but luckily her lungs look good; the left side of her heart is enlarged. She looks extremely fragile after I had her groomed, I guess all that Pom hair hides things. She is perky and runs the other dogs around. – Su

A: Bladder stones can be difficult to manage. Most dogs will get a recurrence within two years after their first stone. There are several types of bladder stones, and preventing a recurrence depends on the type of stone that your dog forms.

Since your dog has been on Hills prescription diet s/d, she probably had a struvite stone. Struvite is made up of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. These stones generally form if your dog gets a bladder infection with a Staph or Proteus bacteria.

It is very important to have frequent urine tests done to find and treat bacterial infections as soon as possible. A stone can form as quickly as two weeks after an infection starts.

Feeding a food that helps prevent stone formation is also very important. Hills s/d diet is used to dissolve stones and is generally only fed for a limited period of time until the stones are gone. Once the stone is dissolved the dog is placed on Hills prescription c/d diet to help prevent a recurrence.

Your dog also has congestive heart failure and it is important to have a diet low in salt. High-salt diets can cause fluid retention, which in turn makes extra work for the weak heart to pump. Many stone prevention diets are higher in salt. Work with your veterinarian to pick a diet with the right balance for your dog?s unique problems. The Hills Company offers a free diet consultation to help you pick the right diet for your pet. It is helpful to have blood work and urine test results when getting a diet consultation.

Please remember it is always good for dogs that have had bladder stones to drink lots of water. I generally recommend you dump, clean, and refill your dog?s water dish two to four times a day. Give your dog filtered water and add water to her food to encourage more water consumption.

It is extremely important for your dog to have scheduled veterinary checkups to help keep her heart healthy and her stones from re-forming!

Summer Dog Shoes and Sandals

It is the time of year again where everywhere the pouch travels the pavement or ground is hot!  Dog?s paws and pads are especially vulnerable during the hot summer months and having the sensitive paws protected is especially important for dog that are traveling on hot pavement, sand or ground.

Summer dog shoes include a variety of styles this year with everything to choose from which include styles for indoors and outdoors.  The shoes are breathable for summer and include the extra reinforcement around the toe, sides and heel which helps to protect the dog?s paws from abrasions and blistering. 

For indoors, the shoes are ideal to help the dog from slipping on tile and floors, and to help protect furniture from the dog?s nails.  For dog?s that like to swim in pools with liners, the dog shoes are a great protection from the dog?s nails as well.   

To measure the pouch?s paws simply trace tightly around one front paw and one back.  You will then be asked by the site the measurements or to fax the traced paw print to the company.

The Easiest Way to Dress up your Pet

Besides getting your dog wearing several outfits like collars, sweaters and so on, T-shirts are the easiest in wearing. On the other hand, not many people are aware that dogs and even cats wear clothes but this is normal to most European countries and others in the world. If one is naive concerning this, he or she may wonder how this happens starting from making your pets get familiar and know how to wear such clothes. T-shirts for pets do not involve many things like buttoning thus making them much simpler to wear.

There are so many shops and boutiques selling all the clothes for pets but in most cases, it is very rare to get large stocks for t-shirts for big dogs since the manufacturers consider making them on order. For the few dog t-shirts available in the shops customers have to hurry in order to catch up with the long queues so that they can meet their high demands for them. When dressing up your dog with the t-shirts, they look great since most of them are not too frilly and this is one of the best ways of making the wardrobe for your dog to grow.

Having known that t-shirts for big dogs are essential to your pets, then it is wise to take an option of enlarging your wardrobe with these t-shirts and other outfits. The manufacturers of these t-shirts, they make them in various designs, style, colors and sizes so that they can meet all the demands of the customers plus taking care of the different sizes of the pets. What the customers need to do us for them to get into the stores and peruse all the types of t-shirts are available and then make the right decision. To mention some of the t-shirts for big dogs include; scribbled Merry Christmas Dog T-shirts, Cutie Pie Large Dog T-shirts and so on. Find many Pet supplies at formybestpal.com.

Easter lillies very toxic to cats

Question: Please write about lilies and cats. I almost lost my beauiful cat to yellow lilies someone gave me in a floral arrangement. In talking to many cat owners, very few are aware of the deadly, toxic lily. ? Donna

Answer: I am so sorry to hear about your cat. Thank you for wanting to warn others about the dangers of lily toxicity. Unfortunately, many cats like to nibble on ?greens,? and indoor cats don?t generally have access to any green growing food.

When a fresh floral arrangement arrives, your kitty gets excited and wants to investigate. They like to play with the flowers and some will nibble on the flower, leaves, or stems. All parts of the lily plant are toxic to cats. Even the yellow pollen that falls off the flower can be toxic if it rubs off on the cat or the cat walks on it and then licks her paws.

The active component that causes kidney damage has not been isolated as of now, and no antidote is available. It is best to avoid having lilies in the house or yard if you have a cat. If your cat does nibble on a lily plant, bring the cat and the plant to the veterinarian as soon as possible.

Generally your veterinarian will induce vomiting, and place an activated charcoal product in your cat?s stomach to help absorb as much toxin as possible. Intravenous fluids are the treatment of choice to try and flush the kidneys and decrease the amount of damage.

Signs of lily toxicity are: vomiting, inappetance, lethargy, and dehydration.
Some cats may have tremors, seizures, or walk like they are drunk.

You must get your cat to a veterinarian very quickly, severe damage can occur very quickly in 12 to 36 hours. The sooner treatment is started, the better the prognosis

Airline Approved Dog Carriers for Delta Airlines

Delta is one airline that does allow small cats and dogs and sometimes small birds to travel in the cabin of the aircraft with the owner.  The pet must be secured in an approved under the seat carrier.  For larger pets, the pets must be check baggage or cargo and must be transported in an airline approved dog carrier as well.

To determine Delta airline approved dog carriers you can go directly to their ?Pet Rules? site.  The under the seat carrier is designed much like a duffle bag only it meets the requirements to safely and securely transport the hound.  The bags are comfortable and well ventilated and are carried as by two hand straps or shoulder straps. Other approved styles are pet carriers that are designed with wheels and an extended handle which owners can conveniently push their animals. 

Other designs include the pet crate which is designed to fit under the seat in the cabin area and for larger dogs, can be purchased for travel for the cargo area.  These crates are constructed with a durable sturdy plastic and are well ventilated and include an easy to carry handle for the owner to transport the animal inn the carrier.

It?s Definitely Nice to Have a Dog Themed Birthday Party

There are plenty of dog lovers who really love throwing a dog themed birthday party for their little pooches. Are you a dog lover and want to share the love that you share with your family members? If so, you can share the love with your pooch by throwing such a lovely dog birthday party. You can have the time of your life deciding what would be done to throw such a party for your little doggie. First of all, you need to find out exactly which pooches you want to have invited to your dog?s birthday party.

Yes, it?s definitely a good idea to have people you know bring over their dogs for the dog themed birthday party. You can send out edible invitations that your soon-to-be party guests will love to eat. If you want to continue on with the planning of such an occasion, there?s more preparing to do. You need to make sure that a cake is baked. You shouldn?t bake a cake that?s not dog-friendly. It should be friendly for humans and dogs. This might be somewhat difficult to find, but there are stores that sell such cakes. Also, there are recipes that you can obtain that allow you to bake a cake that?s edible for humans and dogs.

Also, you need to let all of your doggie?s birthday guests know exactly where they need to be at for the party. You can spend a little extra cash to get a hold of some gifts for the birthday guests. It?d be very nice to have all of the doggie guests leave with a nice takeaway bag full of dog birthday treats and toys. You can throw a very nice dog themed birthday party for your pooch. Like I said before, there are many dog lovers who?re doing this, and it?s actually become a very nice trend.

What You Need to Know About Thyroid Problems in Dogs

Cancer surgery area taking long time to heal

Question: My dog was just diagnosed with a mast cell tumor that was removed from the skin at the front part of the shoulder. The incision is very long over the shoulder, and extending down the front leg. The tumor that was removed was very small, about the size of a cherry tomato. I do not understand why my dog has this long incision, and now it is taking more than two weeks to fully heal. Can you please explain? Also, my dog does not like wearing the large collar that prevents him from licking the incision.

Answer: Most of my clients do not like seeing their pets in E-collars, and I understand your frustration with the collar. They are necessary, though, because if there is any trauma to the incision line, it will delay healing and the incision could become infected. Some people put T-shirts on their dogs to prevent them from licking or scratching at the incision line. You may want to consider this option, but it is essential that the incision be allowed to heal.

The reason it seems to be taking a long time for the incision to heal is because mast cell tumors are very inflammatory tumors. They cause lots of swelling at the tumor site and this delays wound healing. When a mast cell tumor is removed from the skin, even if it is a small tumor, we usually recommend sutures remain in place for at least two weeks, to allow for adequate healing to occur in the face of inflammation caused by the tumor. Also, anytime an incision is made over a joint or an area of the body where movement occurs, the healing process takes longer. Since the incision was made over your dog’s shoulder, I would expect a longer healing time.

Finally, the reason the incision is so long is because even though mast cell tumors can appear small, they have microscopic branches of cancer cells that extend beyond the visible tumor. We like to have wide surgical margins around the tumor so all of the branches are removed at the time of surgery. Mast cell tumors that are removed with complete surgical margins, and are grade 2 tumors, are generally cured with surgical resection. This is the good news for your dog. Although, the immediate post-operative period may be frustrating, in the long run, your dog will be free of cancer.

Limping dog needs at-home exam

Question: My dog started limping recently and I am not sure if he bumped something or if he fell. He seems to have the most trouble in the morning when he gets up. Could it be because of his age? Is there a supplement i can give him? ? John

Answer: You need to do a mini home exam on your dog first. Be sure to pick up his feet and check between the pads for stickers or thorns. If he has matted hair between his pads this can cause discomfort. Trim out the hair between the pads.

Make sure his nails are trimmed short. Toenails can sometimes grow so long that it can cause a limp or even grow into the pad. Check to make sure none of the nails are broken or split. Look for cuts or sores on the pads. The pads should look smooth, like leather. Check for attached ticks between the pads and between the toes.

Look for scratches, cuts, or swollen areas on the legs. Older dogs are more likely to have arthritis or degeneration of the joints, but even young dogs can have this condition. There are special diets like Hills Prescription diet J/d for joint health. There are many supplements and prescription medications for arthritis. Ask your veterinarian to suggest a good one for your dog.

If you didn?t find anything on your mini home exam and your dog is still limping, he will need an examination by your veterinarian.

Dog Pajamas

As the weather takes a turn for the worst here in Wisconsin I am reminded that extra warmth and protection is needed to keep Piper warm! One of my favorite ways of doing this is dog pajamas. Just as you and I enjoy a nice, new, warm pair of pajamas, your dog can now as well! We have a variety of pajamas to fit small dogs- from flannel, fleece, cotton, and more. Not everyone lives in the cold state of Wisconsin, so a cotton pair of dog pajamas may be more suitable than a thick fleece pair. Either way, keeping your dog warm at night, just got easier and more fashionable!
