Oz has lymphoma

Hee hee - nose nudge accepted, belly rub offered in return! Of all our family's dogs, Gracie the Great Dane was really the only one to nose-poke us!

You had a great dane named Gracie? So did we!! What color was your great dane?


And I'm sorry to hear about Oz. I think he's very pretty. I like collies... How is he doing now?

Our beloved Gracie was almost all black, shiny as can be, with a white Taj Mahal shape on her chest and white toes. She was a rescue from a stupid couple that didn't feed her good puppy food, and she had rickets when we got her, poor thing/ So whenever she did something really lunk-headed, we'd mentally blame the igjits for any brain damage she might have ended up with!

Oh no, not OZ!! My heart sunk so low when I read the title, and this thread makes me feel so sad. Keeping you in my thoughts, and pray the treatments will do their work. {{HUGS}}

Bless his heart. Keep fighting Oz!

Thanks for all the well wishes everybody. We just got back from the vet and he's doing good on the new medicine... Gaining weight, less lethargic and his blood work looked good... So all systems go for the moment. Maybe a miracle will happen and he'll have a better then average result, as far as response to the medicine and remission time.

Tiz a beautiful day here today. I may come back later and update with an Oz pic enjoying the sun.

Oz enjoying the spring weather in Texas. Looks a bit more like Fall, with all the leaves falling off the trees.

Vet visit for Oz today. His response to that new med is still good. Blood work came back fine and the lymph nodes are still normal.

He had a lil' bit of an altercation with a Boxer and then a Beagle in the waiting room. For the life of him, he couldn't figure out why they were growling at him and giving him the evil eye, so he compensated by spending our time in the waiting room, draped across my lap. Apparently there's no place safer then Mom's lap.

There was the most gorgeous Blue Merle Aussie and adorable Cavvie that we saw on the way out. If I ever get my Android phone, I'll start taking pics of the dogs in the waiting room and share'em with ya'll.
