Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old neutered male Australian shepherd was brought in for worsening neurological symptoms, which included issues with coordination and behavior changes. After examination, the vet diagnosed him with a rare type of B-cell lymphoma that affected his brain. Unfortunately, due to the aggressive nature of the cancer, treatment options were limited, and the prognosis was poor. The dog required supportive care, but the outcome was not favorable.
