    I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD PUG WITH LYMPHOMA , HER STOMACH IS BIG, SHE IS STARTING TO SHOW HER BONES, BUT HER TAIL IS UP, SHE EATS AND GOES TO THE BATHROOM NORMALLY.   I AM GIVING HER 5 MG PREDNISONE TABLETS.

    WHEN WILL I KNOW IT'S TIME TO PUT HER TO SLEEP? HOW WILL I KNOW IF SHE IS IN PAIN? I DO NOT BELIEVE IN CHEMO, NOT FOR HUMANS OR FOR DOGS.

    Her quality of life will guide you. I have a special soft spot for Pugs. They are such happy beings. When she isn’t happy and eating, she will let you know.
