Peppersdad Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi all its been a while since I have been on gt. been a busy time of late. but could you kind folk spare a few kind thoughts for pepper.he is not himself we have been to vets and on examination his neck glands are very swollen, it could be through a bad tooth causing infection ,or possibly lymphoma, he is on antibiotics and we have to monitor him for the next week to see how things are, he seems normal, but there is something not right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scullysmum Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Oh no Peter, I do so hope it is just a tooth. He seemed so full of himself when I last saw him. His glands were up then but it was hard to believe there was anything wrong, he was his usual self. If I can do anything please let me know. Keeping Pep and all of you in my thoughts.

4My2Greys Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Have you checked his other glands, especially the popliteal, which are easy to locate at the back of the hind leg just above the knee? If they are also swollen I hate to say it, but you are most likely dealing with lymphoma . My Beanie started with swollen glands and it did not end well with her. I pray that this is not the case with Pepper. Just want to add that if other glands are swollen you need to get him in immediately to do a FNA to verify lymphoma. If it is lymphoma and you plan to fight it speed is of the essence. Edited April 6, 2014 by 4My2Greys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatricksMom Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I really, really hope this isn't the case, but Murphy's swelling went way down with antibiotics, but he still turned out to have Lymphoma and they swelled right up again as soon as the antibiotic ended.

To be honest this is why I would have the nodes aspirated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cometdust1 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 My boy's neck lymph nodes were enlarged with Ehrlichiosis infection and he was not lethargic in the beginning. Might want to check for TBD also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliemac Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 And just to give some positive news in case this is more than an infection due to tooth issues ... my friend Kathy came by today with her girl Gracie, who is 2 years post-treatment for her lymphoma (diagnosed on her adoption day).
