Dealing With Your Dog's Lymphoma And End Of Life Decisions. A "How-To" Guide To Provide Care.

If your beloved doggie has lymphoma, I wanted to share with you a "how-to" guide on this horrible time, and what options are available. Lymphoma, is cancer of the lymph nodes, and is detected by enlarged lymph nodes under your dog's chin and on the rear legs. When these nodes enlarge, it usually means lymphoma, a very common form of cancer. Normally, your beloved family member only has about four to six weeks to live. You must act quickly. Check your doggie now, and look for the subtle cues of lymphoma. I describe a way that I call the "bottle trick," which is where you use a spray bottle and gently get it into your dog's mouth, and spray cool water into his mouth as he will start drinking less water, and then refuse food and water completely. At the end stages, as the body shuts down, your dog won't want to eat or drink, which only makes their suffering worse. With the bottle, the dog's mouth is open, and you can insert medicine and soft food into his mouth from the side while water goes down his throat. Go slow. When your dog gets a fever, move him to a cold floor and spray him down with cold mist. Dog's don't perspire, so help him regulate his temperature. During the final stages, your dog might engage in "hiding," could experience "head pressing" (pressing his head into the wall), extreme lethargy, dementia, collapsing and loss of bowels. I found that euthansia at home was the best option. Your dog is in his home environment, is comfortable and not stressed by being driven to a hospital. Be with your doggie as the process takes place. It's very hard to be there at his side, but you are his comfort. You are his whole world. He needs you to be there with him. As a pet parent, putting your pet to sleep will be among the hardest decisions you'll ever make. Make sure you get pain medications for your dog. He will need them to battle the end stages of cancer. I am sorry for your loss. Dogs are pure souls. Then love unconditionally, and are so loyal and such great companions. They are only with us for a short time, and are so magnificent. I hope you find this information helpful.
