title: Multicentric canine lymphoma in a 12-year-old keeshond: chemotherapy options.
abstract: A 12-year-old, spayed female keeshond presenting with lethargy, anorexia, weight loss, and vomiting was diagnosed with multicentric lymphoma. Lymphoma usually responds well to multiagent chemotherapy. Efficacy, cost, toxicity, and duration of treatment determine a treatment protocol. Outcomes are compared on the basis of remission, survival time, and treatment-related toxicity.
