The Expert Vet (6-02-2014) #5027: A special show about Tracie’s youngest dog, Teddy, who died a brutally fast death (from what turned out to be lymphoma in his liver and spleen) despite every possible medical intervention. Donna discusses how a team effort is needed when animals are deathly ill, but even then it may not be possible to get the needed diagnosis and begin treatment in time to save the pet’s life, as was the case with Teddy.
