QuoteGreat questions Paul, thanks for asking! Since this is a rather old topic, if you don't hear from Pam within a couple days, consider posting in the Ask A Vet forum with a link back to this topic. Unless she has subscribed to this topic, she may miss your post.

Paul I was not perfect about the 3-4 hour rule but I did the best I could. Most dogs will have an empty stomach within 2 hours of eating so it shouldn't matter if your dog is on the BARF diet or kibble. I also could not do am and pm so I just did the higher dose at night and never saw any problems with stomach upset. I tried mixing the pills with cottage cheese but the only thing that Tazzie would take was small squares of Velveeta. She started to gain a little weight from all of that cheese but she needed a lot of pills! You should be fine giving the antioxidants and K9 Immunity as long as you don't give them directly with the artemisinin.
I'm not sure if the artemisinin helped or not but I know it didn't hurt and I don't remember it costing much. I hope it helps your dog.

Thank you for such a quick answer, the meds have not yet arrived. Your shared experience with Tazzie is wonderful for those now dealing. I will try 200mg at bedtime for a week and than increase to 300mg for week two, with week three off. I found a product (Artemix) @ bonecancer.org which combines all three derivatives, but the doses are so low and costs much much more. I will be reading over many of your posts and trying to learn. Again thank you for all your assistance.
