FDA approves cancer treatment for dogs
(Yahoo News, Wed. June 3, 2009)
I wish they would have had this when our dog Glee was alive and had Mast cell carcinoma last July.

Chuy, showing everyone that Tripawds do everything 3 times better than regular dogs!

I'm still not sure about investing in a company based on their cancer research, but I was very happy that there are going to be some new treatments available.
And Tigger is doing fine. 🙂

As is usually the case, Dolittler went into much more detail about this new FDA approved cancer treatment for dogs than Yahoo and Fox News ... big surprise.
