Pip had started chemotherapy 5 weeks ago and it was ineffective in reducing the Lymphoma. Prior to chemo, Pip was on a high dosage of Predinsone, as soon as, the Predinsone treatment was over she declined rapidly within a few days (weight loss, difficulty breathing, lethargic, appetite loss, vomiting, and diarrhea). On Sunday night, Kevin took her to the emergency vet because she had extremely labored breathing. The vet proceeded to drain a half of a liter of fluid from her lungs. However, Monday night she again had shallow/labored breathing, lethargic and seemed to be in pain. Kevin and I made the decision in the best interest of PIP to ease her pain and suffering. It was not an easy decision but if she was my dog (which she was in a way) I would have made the same decision. Her are a few pictures of Pip enjoying a "Dog's Life"!
