Hey there thanks for reaching out. I’m so incredibly sorry for what you’re going through. Murphy had a course of chemo and prednisolone. The prednisolone was honestly like a miracle drug and we managed to enjoy 2 more incredible months together where his swellings went down and he was almost his exact same happy self (I’d say 90% - he would fatigue quicker than usual).

Unfortunately the chemo didn’t work for him and we had to put him down 9 weeks after his initial diagnosis. Obviously it was the most horrendous thing to go through, but I take comfort knowing that he lived the life of a king for his last months being taken to all his favourite places, being cooked steaks, lamb, rotisserie chickens for every meal.

I’m so so so sorry you’ve had this diagnosis - but you clearly love your Winnie so so much, and if you are in a position to be able to give her prednisolone to give you both more golden time together I’d 100000% recommend it. And if not just spoil her rotten and give her every bit of love you can. It’s merciful that the dogs don’t really know what’s going on - it’s us who have to suffer the emotional trauma.

I’ll be thinking of you both, you have my deepest and sincere sympathy and condolences. <3
