Sorry we haven't been around lately. Kenmore is fine. He started the Neoplasene protocol Saturday 12/11.

Neoplasene is a plant alkaloid formulated by Dr Fox of Buck Mountain Botanicals in Colorado. There's a website if you need more information.

His dosage is 3cc/1.5 cans of meaty food (Verus Chicken & Rice) for breakfast and dinner. The Neoplasene is supposed to make him vomit- but we have no vomiting! We have Reglin (sp?) if we need it…..not yet! In fact, Dr W-J called Dr Fox and we were given approval to give Kenmore snacks! (usually restricted on the Neoplasene).

Our vet (Eastern Animal Hospital) had a 3/4 full bottle donated back to them from a Good Sanitarian, so they donated the bottle to us! (thank you!). It will usually be $300/bottle/month. This is our choice for treatment as an alternative to chemo or radiation. Kenmore will need to be on Neoplasene for the rest of his life.

Kenmore's  undercoat has grown in- and we are waiting for the longer softer hairs to come in.He's been wearing his red & green shirts and getting ready to visit his Canadian family for Christmas!

Bless all of you, Pawrents, Tripawds & Monkeybutts too! We have been given the best gift of all, our Kenmore.

Kenmore is doing great! He is more is old self now. He was able to "puppy run" in the snow in Montreal over the Christmas holidays. We are almsot done the donated bottle of Neoplasene- so we will order another to continue the protocol. We actually found a stitch that was forgotten so we are going to get that removed tonight. (Husband too squeamish to allow any of us to do it).

As we say goodbye to this year and look forward to 2011, we wish you peace, love & hapineess & wet noses!

Just an update….

Kenmore has been on the Neoplasene protocol for 1 month today, his 2 month ampuversary was Sunday! So far, everything is good. He has not experienced any vomiting or stomach upset (thankfully) at all & poop is normal. We feed him 1 can of Wellness (stew- Beff, Lamb or Chicken) in the am with his 3 ml of Neoplasene and 1 Proviable cap. (probiotic). One of us needs to stand guard so the cats dont try to stick their heads in Kenmore's bowl and eat any. Then there's a scope of vanilla ice cream to follow. In the evening , 12 hours later, we give him a can of Verus (holistic meaty food) with the 3ml of Neoplasene then his dessert ,of course. We have been limiting snacks- so he keeps his appetite for his meals. Ocassionally we add some veggies or ground beef or chicken. He weighs 94 pounds as of the end of December.

We ordered a new bottle at $287.00. (info only) It's worth it.

Is the Neoplasene helping? I dont know, but it was our choice not to pursue chemo or radiation. I am thankful for every day- every minute we have with him.   He's been camping twice since his amp & also to visit family in Canada.  He's the same dog- just cheated out of a leg by cancer.

Everyday is a doggie love-fest at our house.
