Time for some education!
November 7th is National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day!

This is Tater. He is currently being treated for lymphoma. He has come a long way during his chemotherapy. 😊

"Stage I: involves only a single lymph node
Stage II: involves lymph nodes on only one side of the diaphragm (only affects the front of the body or rear of the body)
Stage III: generalized lymph node involvement
Stage IV: involves the liver and/or spleen
Stage V: involves the bone marrow, nervous system, or other unusual location" (VCA source)

Most lymphoma cases do not show other clinical signs, but they may show signs of lethargy and weight loss.

If your concerned your pet has lymphoma, ensure to contact your veterinarian for a appointment.
