Thank you Jerry for posting this again – such great information! Mackenzie is going on her 2nd month of this treatment plan and so far she's doing great! No problems yet. My vet who works with Dr. Rosenberg said that she is using the metronomic on dogs more and more now to fight cancer because it's proving to be a very effective chemo treatment. Thanks to you and this website, I was able to do my research and determine that this was a good option for us.

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

Here's a story from the Morris Animal Foundation's 12/10 newsletter about a Metronomic Protocol Study they helped fund. "New Drug Administration Option Improves Treatment Success and Decreases Side Effects."

Here's a great look at the latest in metronomic therapy by our favorite vet, Dr. Pam Wiltzius.
"Tripawds Ask a Vet Forum: Considering Metronomics"
I just finished researching metronomics for Sammy and here is what I found. Most oncologists prefer meloxicam (Metacam) as the NSAID due to it's wide safety range but a few still prefer piroxicam. There are 5 different chemo drugs that are being tried but the only one with research behind it (so far) for this use is Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide). The main side effect is on the bladder with some dogs getting infections and some getting sterile hemorrhagic cystitis (bleeding and pain without infection). This is rare and usually reversible by stopping the drug. Some oncologists give a low daily dose of a diuretic (Lasix) to try and prevent this but most don't since diuretics can affect the kidneys. My holistic vet recommends cranberry capsules as a way to prevent a UTI. Tazzie took Cytoxan for 2 or 3 months but I had to stop it due to a severe bladder infection (she had a history of bad UTIs so I wasn't too surprised). I kept her on the meloxicam alone and then did artemisinin.

Thanks for this post and all the helpful links. Tate had an appointment with the oncologist today and he'll be starting metronomics tomorrow, Cytoxan + Rimadyl. He also offered Palladia and we talked through that and we're going to stick with just C + R.
I'm oddly excited about strangling off the blood supply to those evil cancer cells! For the first time, I kinda feel like we're getting ahead on this thing. And Tater Tot's been doing really well recently
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for all the great information here.
