Oz has lymphoma

[bckrazy]

Yay Oz! I'm sooo glad you're feeling better. What a sweet boy... he deserves to meet n greet as much as his heart desires.

Is Oz really gaining weight from the steroids or from all of the yummy treats you're giving him, be honest? haha. The weight is a good thing, I think. If he isn't feeling well, it won't be a biggie if he loses a couple of pounds, which it would if he was lean.

Hiya bckrazy! Well I can't swear to it , but I'm pretty sure I'm not feeding anymore treats. He just seems to be ravenously hungry since he started on the steroids. Thought he and Gull were gonna have a dog fight over a plastic TV food tray the other day, just cuz it smelled like gravy. There wasn't a drop left on it. That's all very unlike Oz. So I'm going with the steroid excuse for now.

Went to the vet last Friday and everything was still status quo and he finally maintained his weight without gaining anymore. 3 more treatments and we're done. Yeah!

Saw the most gorgeous Rough Collie in the waiting room. I think he and Oz recognized they were Collie cousins, cuz it was love at first sight. Wish I had a camera to video tape the Rough bouncing up and down with his front paws like a horse cuz he wanted to play so badly with Oz.

Tell Oz that steroids sometimes do that. The few times I have been on prednisone I feel hungry enough to eat the whole world ... even if I have just eaten! Glad he's doing well, though!

oh wow I haven't visited this thread in awhile. Everything was going good with Oz until yesterday. I noticed that his lymph-nodes felt swollen under his neck again and his barking was really horse this morning. I have an appointment for this Friday at the vet. Thanks again for all the well wishes and prayers for him. Hopefully this won't be as bad as I think.
