I have not seen a pup treated with leukeran. Most of the people I know have had their pups on prednisone only.
What is also very, very important for these pups is a low fat diet. I opted to home cook for Cookie and she is on the same diet. Initially the specialist told me she would be on prednisone for the rest of her life (low dose if her protein levels were good)...but he finally opted to take her off of it since her protein levels improved and so far have remained normal. She was diagnosed in Dec 2011.
