HOlding back tears cause I'm out and about, running errands and had park walks training et al.
Okay anyone heard of a systemic infection that would swell all these lymph nodes in 48 hours with no fever, and no loss of appetite until this am?
I know I know I'm trying not to panic, I'm not in a full out panic mode yet, I'm in a hurry up and tell me what it is mode, so I can DO SOMETHING. And I just don't know if this lymphoma stuff comes on so so quickly!.
No call , no call, no call. I'm going to wait until 1 30 then call office to see if he has seen Zoey. |
Gemy, you asked about infections that give similar symptoms. I must preface, I am in human med, not vet med; however, the symptoms seemed similar to Epstein Barr virus that I've seen in humans. Apparently, there has been some recent research at University of Penn Vet School about EBV or EBV-like virus infecting canines. It is still being worked on. Here is the article.
Epstein Barr-like virus infects and may cause cancer in dogs
I'm not sure if this will be of any help or not. You seem like you are on top of where to get the best vet care for your little ones. I will be praying for your little one and you. I hope they can get you some answers for this little one and that it is very treatable whatever it is.
