WOW Maddie, you are such a lucky girl 🎀

Just look at all your private chef is doing for you 👩🏼‍🍳 a truly amazing Mom you've got there 😍

I am one of the worst cooks in the planet but tried my best for Miss Cow, she was such a lovely girl she always ate everything as if it was Michelin star quality 😬

Keep up the good work sweetie  🍵🍶🍲🥗 

😘😘😘😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹

Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics.

I would get off the kibble.  I just posted this somewhere else but a BARF diet would be the best in my opinion.  Biologically Appropriate Raw Food Diet.  Currently my buddy is on Dr. Harvey's Paradigm which is the green vegetable component of the diet.  Dehydrated and reconstituted with hot water.  Then you add the protein of your choice.  I rotate between beef, chicken, salmon, sardines and eggs.

Beef is usually raw or lightly cooked to rare, chicken lightly cooked, salmon is usually wild caught canned with the skin and bones as well as sardines.  Eggs I scramble, I dry the shells and then grind them in a coffee grinder and then ad the powdered shells back into his food, about a tsp/meal.  I also use immune system boosters, add a good fish oil, cbd oil, hoxsey with boneset, vit D.  With cancer you need to eliminate carbs with the exception of those in the green vegetables.  Cancer feeds on glucose so carbs and sugar are bad.

So we are almost at 6 months post diagnosis right now and looking good.  Crossing my fingers.  I haven't been back to the vet for another xray of his lungs.  Not sure if I am going to do it anyway as I can't do more if it has spread.  As long as he is doing good I'll wait it out.

Didn't do chemo. 

Best of luck.

Has Maddie had her consult with Dr. Loops yet? Hopefully it went well.

Hi

My dog, Gabby, had her left hind leg amputated Nov 20th. She is a Husky/German Shepherd mix going to be 14 in Jan but a young 14 in mind and spirit although her body is showing age. We got her wheels to help and are looking into water therapy as well. We have decided to go the homeopathic route. With her age and not liking to travel and the clinic being 45 minutes, plus all the success stories I have read about homeopath, it just have given us more peace of mind. We did chemo for a former dog with lymphoma many years ago. it was very trying and we were not looking forward to trying it again.

We have our remedies from Dr Loops and started them last week. We feed a raw, Primal, diet (which we were told if we did chemo we would have to change) with lots of supplements, fish oil, and the other supplements really have to do with supporting her other hind leg, Jing Tang Tendon/Ligament, Body Soar and recently because of the bone cancer, Bone Stasis Formula.  We also have eliminated anything we think does not work in a cancer diet. Certain carbs mainly. We may also add in acupuncture. All and all, she is much happier without the painful limb. smiley

OH, I forgot to mention, I also add Golden Paste (which I get from http://www.newn.....online.com) and Honest Kitchen Bone Broth and a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to her food. And SAMe vitamin.

Most of her diet has been the same for almost 14yrs. The only changes started when she started to limp, oh and after having her spleen removed in June 2016 because of a HUGE mass which they said was benign. SAMe was added then because of her liver 'values'. When she started limping in Aug 2017, Golden Paste and all the joint supplements were added and Bone Broth just because it sounded good! I even use it when I cook! laughing

Wishing you and your fur baby all the best!

Hi Christine and Gabby, welcome. We're glad to hear you're working with Dr. Loops, he's terrific! I know that Mads and others will really appreciate reading about your story. Gabby is a rock star superstar

Now that you've shared it here, please consider starting a new topic all your own so that we can better follow along with your journey. Eating Healthy is a good place to talk about her diet if you'd like to share more! Thanks.
