Plain-English summary
A 7-year-old Siberian Husky was diagnosed with multicentric osseous lymphoma, which affected his ribs and spine, causing pain and neurological issues. The vet performed surgery to relieve pressure on the spinal cord, but this did not improve his symptoms. However, after starting a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy, the dog showed significant relief from pain. This treatment approach helped manage his condition and improve his quality of life.
