I am trying to develop a cancer diet for a 5 yr old Sheltie. He also has GI problems, so I need to be careful about the veggies I would feed. Also, he has lost...
... Some times you have to make trade offs. This is a case of current issues vs long term issues. I'd add some carbs, but not a bunch. ... Like I said,...
Oh Joanne, Your poor boy! Yes, the prednisone will help w/ his appetite. It's one of the side-effects. I'd heard that carbohydrates - at least the "simple"...
I read about this when my Lilly was first diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma. It's a diet of linseed oil and cottage cheese and other stuff. Here is the website...
Hi All! I wanted to check in and welcome our new members and say that I hope we are able to help them in some way, whether it is info or emotional support they...
... Are we now controlling access to the group? That would be great and I thank you for your efforts. I don't think we need to be moderated, but controlling...
yes, we are controlling who can join so as to keep spammers out. I agree that moderation is not needed. we did have some spammers get in so we changed the...
Hi Dillon, I remember that we did have a problem w/ these "people" a few months ago, so I'm glad if ANY ONE of them can be kept out. It can be real hurtful...
Hi All: I have been off the list a bit lately due to working 4 jobs to help pay for Luka's chemo bills. I found out last week that Luka came out of remission....
Darlene: All of Camp Corgi is very sad at the loss of Kaiser. We know this sorrow all too well lately. I lost my Surrey to DM on September 2, 2006 and my...
Hi Darlene, Please accept my profound condolences for your loss of Kaiser. For some reason, your post didn't get through to me! When it comes down to it,...
Oh Janice, I'm so sorry to hear that about Luka, but I'm so glad that he IS still eating and playing. Maybe you and he aren't really as far back as "square ...
... I've heard some people claim that garlic powder in the food worked, but I've always thought that garlic was bad for dogs, so I don't know. I've heard B...
Jackie, Have you considered a rescue golden. Sometimes they get puppies. I lost my Malinois in 2001 and I got a beautiful young guy from rescue. He has...
... Yeah, whenever I see a "garbage" user name (what was that? "angyxo" something?) I know it's spam. What surprised me was that there wasn't some overt...
I spent some time with this group a few months back regarding my Beagle Mandy. Now I fear my lab mix, Cinders may have osteosarcoma or fibrosarcoma. Just...
Hi Stephanie, sorry to see you back but you know what I mean. is there a reason they didn't sedate her for the x-rays? I remember the biopsy being very painful...
... If it is osteoarthritis, we've had good luck with Chondroflex. It's available from most vets. It's glucosamine, chondritin and MSM. I've seen it in...
Thanks Heather. I'm just so frustrated with my vet right now. Cinders was pretty painful this morning. I'm hoping I can get her to the oncology specialist...
thinking of you and cinder. any news yet? we chose not to amputate Rosy's leg because we didn't feel she would be happy if she couldn't chase her jolly ball....
So nice of you to check on us. A very long story with my vet, but yesterday I took her back to our regular vet. She sedated her heavily and xrayed both front...
... That's very good. Keep an eye on her blood chemistry. Long term use of Rimadyl can sometimes (occasionally) have adverse affects. Talk to your vet about...
Hi Dillon and Heather, That is a good point about the Rimadyl. As you've just written, it is rare, but there have been reports of adverse effects from it....
It's been almost 3 weeks I think since this all started with Cinders. Misdiagnosed twice by our regular vet. Took her to an orthopedic specialist this...
as a moderator I am okaying the use of profanity when appropriate. God Damn this cancer crap! with rosy they thought it could be synovial cell sarcoma or OS....
Oh Stephanie, PRAYERS for you and Cinders, and HURRAY on the clear X-rays! That is NO small thing. As for her irregular heart beat, it all depends on how bad...
Heather, Come to think of it, they didn't give her any antibiotics. I will call them Monday. She seems ok today. Just very sore in the biopsy site and kind...
