Helping my dog overcome mast cell tumors

Monday, July 26th, 2010

My Weimaraner was diagnosed with MCTs two years ago – he had two tumors removed, one being on his head so the surgeon wasn’t able to take a wide enough margin. After two operations we decided enough was enough and looked into Homeopathy, and found a wonderful Holistic Vet, we haven’t looked back since.

He is taking an MCT nosode, CV 247 (which is also being trialed on humans and is showing very favourable results), Floressence, he is on an organic RAW diet, has cottage cheese and ground flaxseed, fish oils, garlic, yogurt etc. He is doing extremely well, he’s happy, active and full of life, out hunting every day and people can’t believe he has cancer, it’s amazing!

Research has shown that we are over vaccinating our pets, the wormers etc are filling them with toxins and this is the result, all unnecessary when it can be done naturally IMO.

I urge everyone to please look at alternatives as it’s been a complete eye opener to me 🙂

12 1/2 y/o dog with cancerous tumor on face. Want to save her please!

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Hi,

I have a 12 1/2 year old female mix who has developed a tumor on her face.

It started as a cyst on her forehead and has grown into a huge mass in her mouth palate in the last 8-9 months to her mouth palate which bleeds quite often.

Almost every vet we visited suggested to just and make her comfortable and nothing more. So they have prescribed prednisone, iron, multi-vitamins and something to stop her bleeding.

A new doctor we met recently encouraged us to pursue chemo.

My parents are not so confident about this option as they feel she is old and this would only cause more discomfort.

I was wondering if you could give us some suggestions as to the success rate of chemo in senior dogs and pros and cons of not getting chemo, in terms of her suffering as time goes. And based on your experience would you put a senior dog through this?

Thank you very much.

Dog diagnosed with sarcoma. Desparately seeking advice

Friday, June 5th, 2009

I have a 9 year old shepherd rottie mix who was just diagnosed with sarcoma.

They removed an 11 oz tumor from his right side and found gristle type material on the inside.  The concern now is osteosarcoma.  He will have x-ray on Monday.  The tumor was in a sheath.

I’m desperately seeking advice, suggestions etc. on diet, meds anything at this point.  I’ve had him from birth and am not ready to lose him.

Thanks for any help you can give!
