Comments on: My Dog is Acting Fine…And Got Diagnosed With Cancer?!? http://www.dogcancerblog.com/my-dog-is-acting-fineand-got-diagnosed-with-cancer/ Dr. Demian Dressler, DVM, the dog cancer vet blogs about canine cancer Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:54:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Nancy http://www.dogcancerblog.com/my-dog-is-acting-fineand-got-diagnosed-with-cancer/comment-page-1/#comment-2129 Nancy Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:39:07 +0000 http://www.dogcancerblog.com/?p=944#comment-2129 Snoopy, 7YO neutered beagle, had bloody urine last summer. vet put him on primor (antibiotic) and UTI cleared right up (confirmed by culture / urinalysis) only to reoccur in 1-2 weeks. After the third time, vet said if it reoccurred we should x-tray (thinking bladder stones) When bloody urine reoccurred, x-rays showed enlarged prostate and rectal palpation caused a bloody goopy discharge. Vet thought prostate abcess so put him on 30 days antibiotic and to recheck and ultrasound a week after antibiotics were finished. A few days after stopping the antibiotic, Snoopy had difficulty urinating so he went back on primor and because the ultrasound dr. could not schedule ultrasound, vet sent him to another clinic where they could ultrasound sooner and do surgery (for abcess) the next day. Unfortunately ultrasound did not show abcess but showed a mass so they did a biopsy (ultrasound guided) which ended up being carcinoma. Other than the few days off the antibiotic, Snoopy has never acted sick. Not sure if to count the diagnosis as last summer when urinary symptoms started or last month - december 9, 2009 - when he had his ultrasound. Either way, so far he has not acted sick and plays / runs very hard at the dog park. Since his diagnosis, he is now on piroxicam (and misoprostol for the piroxicam side affects) as well as the primor. I also put him on mushrooms, noni juice, turmeric (the 95% cucurmin) caprylic acid, saw palmetto, cleavers, echinacea - add all the herbs / supplements to his food and he eats it right up. I also switched him to a low carbohydrate food. So now he is 1 month after his diagnosis (seven months since symptoms started) and so far he is feeling / acting great and eating better than ever (he loves his new food as well as the supplements) I know this can be a deception - many years ago I lost a horse to lymphoma who never acted sick until two days before her diagnosis / euthanasia and when they did a necropsy, they said she should have been dead a year. I also lost a dog to osteosarcoma who had her leg amputated and did the chemotherapy - only to have her jump off the bed and break another leg and x-rays showed cancer in that leg as well as her spine (she was then euthanized) She never acted sick and if she had not broken the other leg, she would have gone out and played that day just like always.

God willing, he is doing amzingly well. We opted against chemo as the odds are not good for this type of cancer and started taking him to an Holistic vet in June. In May 09, upon being ddiagnosed, our regular vet said that he would have 3-6 months without chemo. We are now at the 5 month mark, and for all appearances, there are no visible signs of cancer or symptoms. I urge you to take your dog to an Holistic vet, get him started on supplements, remedies and a raw food or homecooked diet - with no starches or grains, only protein and vegetables.

This builds the immune system 20 times higher and is all natural. Highly recommended for dogs diagnosed with cancer. Very effective along with radiation and chemotherapy. We decided not to do the radiation chemo treatment as the tumor my dog had removed was cancer, but very rare and he had good chances without the abusive radiation and chemotherapy. I put him on these supplements to build his immune system as most cancers can be cured by the animal ..VERY IMMPORTANT to have a holisitic vet. This was recommened by one.

Her bladder cancer is not growing anymore (for now anyway) !!! Praise Jesus. Dr. Jones' Supplement Powder, Artemin, Doxycyline, and Piroxicam medications are working!This is not to say she is healed, BUT for a tumor to stop growing after a two month interval, is great news!!!!

How did you determine how much of each supplement to give your dog? I have an 84 lb Akita currently undergoing radiation therapy to reduce a tumor in her chest cavity. She was barely able to breathe when we started the treatments. They have definitely helped but I would prefer to discontinue them as soon as possible. I would be very interested in trying what you have your dog on. Can you tell me how I would determine how much to give her? Thank you :) ! Hi Wade.

C,,,,like SODIUM ASCORBATE,,,,tends to be easier on the stomach good luck to everyone I STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING A HOLD OF A HOMEOPATHIC VET although our baby lost her fight,,,,,,with the help of an HOMEOPATH,,,she fealt no pain during her fight, AND WITHOUT PAIN KILLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from everything that my wife and i have learned,,,,the hard-way unfortunately,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,HIGH PROTEIN [MEAT],,,,,HIGH FATS/OILS
NO grain products!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there is STRONG evidence that “Cancers” have a common denominator,
they all seem to have a FUNGUS in them,,,,,our baby started out with a nasty YEAST infection, that was treated INCORRECTLY by Conventional Vets,,,,,,,until it manifested itself as “cancer”
Fungus infections NEED grains and starches,,,SO DOES “CANCER”

SO HIGH PROTEIN, HIGH FAT DIET
veggies are a GOOD source of energy, without feeding the fungus/cancer
good source of FAT is COLD-PRESSED FLAX-SEED OIL,,,, can get it at health-food store
be careful with VITAMIN C ,,,our baby quit eating because the vitamin C was too much for her stomach to handle,,,,we realized it too late,,,,,maybe try one of the other types of Vit. C,,,,like SODIUM ASCORBATE,,,,tends to be easier on the stomach

good luck to everyone
I STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING A HOLD OF A HOMEOPATHIC VET
although our baby lost her fight,,,,,,with the help of an HOMEOPATH,,,she fealt no pain during her fight, AND WITHOUT PAIN KILLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
