Hi everyone. It is with a heavy heart I am here to kindly ask for help from anyone who can.
Emma our beautiful West Highland Terrier has been diagnosed with Lymphoma. Initially diagnosed with raised glands in her neck as a result of a bladder infection. Antibiotics cleared the infection, but then all her glands came up. Her Liver, Spleen and Gall Bladder had swollen also. Emma also has Intestinal Lymphangiectasia, (she struggles to absorb proteins and fats), so a special diet also.
She is understandably feeling far from her usual self.
The Vet has indicated that Chemotherapy and steroid therapy is the option to give our little one a long term chance. Do just Steroids or nothing and she may be gone too soon in less than 2-3 months. Chemo and steroids together will maybe give us 12-36 months! It won't cure her but it will give her a chance to live out her natural longer life, possibly 16 years old.
She will have a lot to go through with the Chemo and other possible treatments but we hope and pray it is a success.
She is 13 years old, but is so much younger in spirit. She is so fun loving, gentle, friendly, smart, beautiful and young at heart. She acts like a pup at times around people and other dogs. She has been a much loved member of the Family from 9 weeks old. If you met her I am sure you would find her so lovable and adorable.
We payed for all other treatments when she needed them, but this is such expensive treatment we are going to struggle to cover the total costs. Further testing, blood work, scans and surgical work may be needed also as well as medication for the rest of Emma's life.
Emma survived a life threatening blocked bowel a few years ago, then an ovarian hysterectomy the following year. She is a little fighter! and we do want to give her a fighting chance.

Please help if you can.

We are so grateful for each and every penny given and for kind words of support.

Thank you so much.

The Miller Family and Emma.
