Really devastated. We're on our way back from holiday today having left the dog with my dad.
I've posted a couple of times in the last month about how he's not quite been himself. Nothing obvious, just a bit under the weather.
My dad took him to the vets again yesterday and they did another set of bloods which showed he was very anaemic and platelets were non existent.
He is now at the vet hospital and they've done a biopsy which I think shows he has lymphoma. The vet wants to speak to the specialist oncologist who will be in on Monday to examine him.
There was mention of chemo but it's just prolonging the inevitable and also will be very difficult to manage as I think I need to keep him away from my 3 children whilst he's having the treatment (19 weeks).
Has anyone got any words of advice? I've been up all night in tears. Without chemo he's only got about 4 weeks at the most. He seems ok at the moment, eating and although not himself doesn't seem in pain.
I just can't believe it.
