My baby, Norman, was just diagnosed with cancer yesterday, 11/02/16.
I am completely heart broken and in shock. He was acting completely normal/healthy and I took him in for blood work prior to having his teeth cleaned on 10/29 and the vet felt a "mass" in his abdomen. After an ultra sound with an aspirate, our vet confirmed it is cancer. I will have the aspirate results tomorrow but she is almost positive that it's Lymphoma.
Yesterday the vet gave Norman a shot of Dexamethasone and sent us home with Prednisone to start today. Today he is acting like he doesn't feel good and I started researching Dexamethasone and it seems like it's not good to have that AND Prednisone? Does anybody have any advice or experience with this? =(
