Frequently Asked Questions
- How can I tell if my dog is in pain?
Signs of pain in dogs include restlessness, changes in appetite, whimpering, limping, or a reluctance to move. If you notice any of these signs, consider talking to your vet about possible pain management options.
- What type of food is best for a dog with lymphoma?
Offer your dog easily digestible, high-protein foods. Some dogs may prefer small, frequent meals instead of one or two large meals. Consult your vet for specific dietary recommendations tailored to your dog's needs.
- Should I continue regular activities with my dog?
Keep activities gentle and monitor your dog's response. Short, slow walks or playtimes can be beneficial, but always let her dictate the pace and duration. Prioritize her comfort above all.
