Sue Ettinger, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology): The signs are actually very similar [in the 2 kinds of lymphoma], and they're non-specific and we see them in other kinds of diseases as well, but typically we have vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and then changes in appetite. [Now], the hard part with changes in appetite is it can be something [like being] picky, they're just not eating as well to complete anorexia.
