Could anyone please translate what this Cytology report means? Can anyone offer a second Opinion? 4 year old French Bulldog diagnosed with Lymphoma from FNA but no symptoms other than lymph nodes larger in throat. Flow Cytometry Question.

Hello,



I'm sorry to hear about your pup's diagnosis; I know this can be overwhelming. It sounds like the cytology report from the fine needle aspirate (FNA) has suggested lymphoma, a type of cancer that usually affects the lymphatic system, leading to enlarged lymph nodes, like those you're noticing in your dog's throat.



Flow cytometry could be the next step to provide more detailed information. This test helps determine what specific type of lymphoma your dog has. Understanding the type and subtype can guide the treatment plan.



At home, keep an eye on your French Bulldog's appetite, energy level, and any signs of discomfort or breathing difficulties. Doing your best to keep his environment calm and stress-free can also be helpful.



Signs that require urgent attention include labored breathing, significant lethargy, rapid weight loss, difficulty swallowing, or any new or worsening symptoms. If you notice any of these, seek veterinary attention immediately.



For peace of mind and a more comprehensive interpretation of the report, consider booking a video consultation with Dial A Vet.
