Emily,
Perhaps it is a reaction to the chemotherapy.
Jasmine was diagnosed with lymphoma in mid Aug. and has been going for chemo
treatments. She is doing very well and going into remission, but sometimes
I notice that her rear end seems a little wobbly. I figure its either a
reaction to the chemo or possibly she just feels a bit weak after having been so
sick (you know, like you feel after having had a bad flu.)

(and a question)
Lene, That is good news for you! I have a
bit of my own of that sort. Our Pyr Zuni was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in
her front right leg in June, and following radiation and two chemo treatments
so far, she is still with us and seems to be enjoying life. She's had her
share of hitches along the way too, though. When treating her we found out she
had a weak and enlarged heart which she is now on medication for, and now she
has a lump in the roof of her mouth that we aren't treating since it seems
insignificant in comparison to her osteo. However, I had a question for the
list if anyone is listening and might know... Zuni is doing amazingly well,
not limping anymore, hardly nauseated, eating well, a little lethargic, but
occasionally when I have watched her out in the yard, she'll turn and then her
rear end will fall over, she slumps in a heap, then looks around like she's
not sure what happened. Anyone have experience with this? She's only 7.5 years
old and as far as I know there is nothing wrong with her hips.
Thanks!
