Story
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.

8 years agoWe are Heartbroken. Our little precious Emma lost her fight against Cancer. She could not fight any more and we had to make the difficult decision to let her go. We were all with her when she went for her final sleep. We were so fortunate to have had her in our lives. Thank you so much to everyone who supported us during this difficult time. The Miller Family.

8 years agoHi everyone. Emma is now 5 days post surgery and recovering. Her spleen after removal was tested for cancer and bowel biopsies also. The results came back and although her bowel is free from cancer her spleen had a high grade tumor, which we have been told and read respond well to Chemotherapy. Her Liver isn't affected yet. Her Chemotherapy is to start on Tuesday. Please wish her well for recovery and success in her treatment. Thank you for your support. The Miller Family and Emma.

8 years agoHi everyone. Emma is 3 days post surgery now. She slept a lot of the night and was up a few times but glad she settled better. Emma has been able to eat a little chicken last night and again this morning. Hopefully her appetite will improve with time. Thanks to all for the kind words of support and wonderful donations to Emma's campaign, we have now reached a fund raising milestone!

I couldn't help but think about how scared I'd feel if my dog was so ill, I hope Emma continues to live a long and healthy life.
