Hello Rat Terrier Lovers,
This is my first post and I just happen upon you all doing research about Rat Terrier's and health issues they may commonly have.
Our loving Rat Terrier Boomer may have Lymphoma or possibly Cushing's disease. Our vet is doing the research and the pathologist is looking at Boomer's blood and urine at this time. Has anyone had a dog with either of these? Maybe you would have some advice and maybe something homepathic that would work. I cannot believe how much this has all cost. If he does have Lymphoma we are torn about having to put him through Chemo or not treating.
Boomer started to really slow down about 4 months ago, and he seems so depressed, even after a 3 mile walk. He is only 3 so he is very young to be having any of the above stated issues.
Anyways, just also wanted to say Hi and state how much fun and loving and loyal Rat Terriers are! We also have an old Golden Retriever and a sweet Chihuahua who is Boomer's girlfriend (it is a good thing they are both fixed, they LOVE each other!)
Blessings
Boomer's Mom
