What does it mean when dogs eat grass?

Thursday, October 3rd, 2013

My dog has been eating plants and grass today and thrown them up five times. She did not eat dinner or treats which she normally ravishes. I’m taking her to the vet tomorrow but am worried… any advice or guess on what’s wrong? She is 12 years old: Corgie/Australian Shepperd mix.

Please help. – Flor

How to prevent your dog from getting cancer?

Friday, September 27th, 2013

I am very concerned about protecting my dog from cancer. He is 9 years old. My previous dog died of colon cancer at age 11 and I want to do everything possible to prevent such fate to my current dog. Please advise as this is a very big issue for me. Thanks a lot vet does not take my concern seriously and changes topic when I ask. He says, “dog’s health is good. congratulations.”

Thanks.

7 y/o Boston Terrier with Grade 3 Mass Cell Tumor

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

My mother’s 7-year-old Boston Terrier was diagnosed with a Grade 3 Mass Cell Tumor.  It was in the Anal/Vulva area.  Although the tumor was completely removed, the Vet and the Pathology report believes the cancer has spread.  Blossom is eating well and shows no signs of the cancer.  The tumor was there for at least 6-months with no other signs of illness.  We have gotten a second opinion from another vet is has dealt extensively with Mass Cell Tumors.  He says that at the moment Blossom is cancer free with no signs.  He has suggested not putting her on any other medications.  She is already taking Benedryl 25 mm twice a day. My mother is against chem & radiation therapy.  I was reading a posting from a lady that says her dog is on MCT nosode, CV 247, Floressence.  Can you tell me what this is?
