Default Re: Suspected lymphoma :(

I don't want to second guess your vet & it may well be the correct diagnosis but have you thought about hormonal hair loss as a possible cause? It's not something you can get a definitive diagnosis for but it does seem to happen in some females.
I had a Russian with hair loss mostly on the abdomen that was suspected to be hormonal (she had other problems with her ovaries) & she responded really well to evening primrose oil, so if you want to try that's something you could use without interfering with her medication from the vet.

They had mentioned it when she first started losing her fur but no more since as they seemed quite confident that she has lymphoma (maybe because the hair loss is all over?) The evening primrose oil seems like a good idea, I will definitely give it a try. I have also been giving her a small pinch of flaxseed everyday but I'm not sure if she has been eating many of them.

Would megazorb be suitable? I've heard good things about it and it is available locally for me whereas I would have to order Fitch in. Megazorb also works out cheaper than Fitch so I would be able to use it for all of my pets. Of course price is not the main priotity but if it is going to be pretty much the same then I would go for megazorb.
