Lymphoma??

Sisters dog has what we assume to be swollen lymph nodes on both side of her neck (just behind jaw bone). Both feel firm and around 3cm big. Came up like this last week.

dog appears fine in her self, eating, drinking and playing and therefore sister hasn’t taken her to Vet.

This morning dog pissed and shit in the house overnight which is out of character. She’s just rang me saying dog was out in garden at lunch time and suddenly sat down on the grass and began retching (whilst sitting down??) before being sick.

Dog still otherwise acting well - eating, drink and playing.

Dog is a Dobermann (prone to lymphoma). Sister still reluctant to go to vet as dog is terrified of the vet and appears to feel well. Dog is 3 years old.

Obviously she should go to vet but does anyone think this could be lymphoma??

If she has insurance most have a televet service where you can have a video appointment. They will be best placed to advise and may convince her to go to vet.
sounds like a vet job to me.

I understand the dog is frightened of the vet, but if it were my dog I would phone immediately for an emergency appointment. Those symptoms are quite concerning.

I'd definitely take her to the vet. Would the vet be willing to prescribe a mild sedative that she can take just before the appointment? She'll need to be sedated anyway, if she needs a biopsy.
