You guys are going to be seeing a lot of me in the coming weeks ...
I've been hearing good things about supplements for OSA dogs, particularly "K9 Immunity ." Can anyone share their personal experience with this brand (or other supplements)? We will also ask the vet but I know not all conventionally trained doctors believe in complementary medicine.
Searching K9 Immunity online is slightly overwhelming ... there are capsules, wafers, etc. If you used this product or something similar, please share your story -- was it worth it or not? Which iteration of the product did you choose? Did you start before or after amp? Did you use the supplements throughout chemo (is that safe)? (We are expecting to go with carboplatin treatments).
Thank you for your continued guidance.

Six-year-old Ollie, a spunky, 55-lb. Australian cattle dog mix, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma May 1, 2015. Front right leg was amputated May 12. Did four rounds of carboplatin chemo treatment, ending Aug. 20. Lung x-rays still clear as of end of September. The rest of our story is still unfolding.

We're glad you're here and posting Karen, ask away! Hope you don't mind but since you asked about supplements I moved your post here.
After having success with K9 Immunity while our Jerry was on it, we are big advocates and feel strongly that it gave him a great quality of life. Here's a few blog posts which share experiences from others too:
