Thu, Apr 30th 2009, 11:18 GMT

I found out my Lucky Charm has Lymphoma. I am devastated to say the least. I talked to my vet today and there are treatments available. My vet plans to start treatment Monday morning. Has anyone had a pet with Lymphoma? If so what treatment plan was used? Did the treatment plan work? Thank you in advance for any answers to my questions!

Secondhand Smoke: Silent Killer Hurts Pets, Too

Fri, Apr 24th 2009, 01:45 GMT

Health officials often talk about the dangers of living with a smoker, but few pet parents are aware that our animal companions face similar risks�from respiratory problems to cancer�when exposed to secondhand smoke. New research suggests that secondhand smoke is unsafe at all levels�for humans and pets�so it's time to get serious about ditching those butts for good. One recent study shows that nearly 30 percent of pets live with at least one smoker. This is a grave concern, according to Dr. Sharon Gwaltney-Brant, Medical Director of the ASPCA's Animal Poison Control Center, since secondhand smoke can damage the nervous systems of both cats and dogs. "Tobacco smoke has been shown to contain numerous cancer-causing compounds, making it hazardous for animals as well as humans," says Dr. Gwaltney-Brant. "Exposure to secondhand smoke can cause many of the same harmful inflammatory changes in the airways and lungs of dogs as their human counterparts." Cats who live with smokers are prone to developing malignant lymphoma, perhaps as a result of ingesting carcinogenic residue when it settles on their fur. Kitty's canine counterparts are especially vulnerable to secondhand smoke's respiratory effects, and can develop life-threatening nasal and lung cancers. Nicotine�found in cigarettes and other tobacco products�is also highly toxic to animals if ingested. A dog who accidentally eats tobacco may develop weakness, muscle twitching, decreased breathing rate, and finally collapse, coma and possibly death. The ASPCA strongly recommends keeping your pet away from tobacco as well as secondhand smoke. In honor of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month this April, why not resolve to avoid smoking around your pet? Smoke outside and preserve the lungs of your two- and four-legged family members. Or better yet, toss those cigarettes in the trash�your pet will thank you! For more information about protecting the health of your furry friend, please visit the ASPCA�s Guide to Pet Care.

My 16yr old Border Collie has a lump on her upper eyelid - at the bottom/underside.

Fri, Feb 6th 2009, 17:28 GMT

It is around 5mm by 2-3mm and is a reddish pink in colour. Due to her deteriation of condition (age related) we are rather worried. Could this be a tumour/cancer? I will put a photo up. She doesn't seem to be too bothered about it but she is picking up in activity although she has low level arthritis. Should I even be hesistating to go to the vet?

does anyone have any experience w/ radiation treatment for meningiomas with the new CyberKnife technique?

Wed, Dec 17th 2008, 03:49 GMT

My 13 1/2 yr old lab/shepard mix was diagnosed with a meningioma (pressing on her brain). She had 3 seizures, endured an MRI, echo cardiogram, ultrasound and many blood test. She is on phenobarbitol, which makes her a little woozy in the legs, and has some weakness in her hind left leg. Surgery is happening today, and the dr. wants to consider radiation, even tho she will need to undergo anesthesia for each radiation treatment. (10 days). He mentioned CyberKnife, which is only 2 treatments. He says it is relatively new for dogs, and so there aren't alot of clinical results to review. Any input would be great.
