Prognosis (Greek: πρόγνωσις "fore-knowing, foreseeing"; pl.: prognoses) is a medical term for predicting the likelihood or expected development of a disease, including whether the signs and symptoms will improve or worsen (and how quickly) or remain stable over time; expectations of quality of life, such as the ability to carry out ...
Kopecny et al. found this treatment to be effective in three out of four dogs with IMT who were unresponsive to other treatments. [15] Francey et al. found that dogs treated with TPE for IMT had similar prognosis to those treated differently; however, Francey et al. discussed its safety as a treatment and recommended further research.

Prognosis varies based on the type of Cushing's, if the tumour is benign or malignant, and treatment method. [2] Median survival times for dogs of 662-900 days have been observed in pituitary-dependent cases treated with trilostane, and 353-475 days for adrenal-dependent cases treated with trilostane. [14]
Lymphoma with a histologic high grade generally respond better to treatment but have shorter survival times than dogs with low grade lymphoma. [6] Dogs with B-lymphocyte tumors have a longer survival time than T-lymphocyte tumors. [1] Mediastinal lymphoma has a poorer prognosis than other types, especially those with hypercalcemia. [12]
Ehrlichiosis (/ ˌ ɛər l ɪ k i ˈ oʊ s ɪ s /; also known as canine rickettsiosis, canine hemorrhagic fever, canine typhus, tracker dog disease, and tropical canine pancytopenia) is a tick-borne disease of dogs usually caused by the rickettsial agent Ehrlichia canis. Ehrlichia canis is the pathogen of animals.
The disease is gradually progressive. Treatment is possible with corticosteroids, but the prognosis is poor. Sensory neuropathies are inherited conditions in dogs and cause an inability to feel pain and a loss of proprioception. Self-mutilation is often seen. No treatment has been found, and the prognosis is poor in severe cases.
