    It's Lymphoma and the prognosis is 3 weeks. :-( The vet and I agree that chemo isn't a good option, so we're going to go by a 'Quality of Life' chart, keep her as comfortable as possible, and spoil her like crazy. ❤️

    Aww, so sorry to hear this. This is what took my family's last Saint Bernard, and it came on even more suddenly, one day she seemed fine, and the next she was stumbling on the stairs, and that was it.

    She's had such a good, long run with you, so spoiling her a little extra won't be a hardship!

    I am so sorry. I hope that Kia continues to enjoy life for all the rest of her days.
    The 3-weeks is just a best guess. I hope that she has longer with you.
    You are in our thoughts and prayers.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    I hope and pray that she is with you for a lot longer than three weeks, Ramanth

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    It's difficult to think of anything really comforting to say at a time like this, but you and Kia will be in my prayers. May her final days be comfortable, peaceful, and happy. Try to stay bright and happy while she is with you, so that she sees the happiness that she had with you, and not the sadness that you now are experiencing.

    I saw this on facebook and it's just devastating news.

    I hope Kia beats the odds and if she gets any prednisone to help her appetite, she should be enjoying all the great food you spoil her with!

    Hope everything goes as well as it can, spoil the heck you of her in the time you have left. Lady turned a terminal cancer diagnosis into another year or so, so, as others have said, the 3 weeks is a guess.
