Beagle with lymphoma?

My Beagle, 9 yrs old, has recently been diagnosed with lymphoma. It is in a lymph node in his belly and also in the wall of intestinal wall. He is on Prednisone now and is eating well. The only indication of something wrong is that he frequently shivers from the neck down. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks - Gayle

Beagle with lymphoma?
Last year my dog was diagnosed with lymphoma as well. The vet gave him a month to live, but I put him on a high protein diet and put safflower seed oil on top of his food and he lived for about 9 more months. I doubt the shivering has anything to do with the cancer, he's probably just cold :)
Reply:"The “typical” canine lymphoma patient is a middle aged dog presented to the veterinarian because one or more lumps have been found. The veterinarian rapidly determines that all of the peripheral lymph nodes (those near the skin surface) are enlarged and firm. Usually the dog has not been showing any signs of illness. The next step is a blood panel and urinalysis to more completely assess the patient’s health and one or more lymph nodes are aspirated or biopsied to confirm the diagnosis of lymphoma."





Here are websites which will explain the diagnosis %26amp; treatment.
