How long can a dog with lupus survive? General Dog Discussions
My 10-year-old lab mix has been tentatively diagnosed with lupus (or similar auto-immune disorder). He is on prednisone, which really helps his mobility but he also has terrible scabby patches of skin. Has anyone been able to keep an older dog with lupus going for a while? We are hoping for at least one more summer with him, but we will have to reconsider if the prednisone stops working and he gets lame again.
