Please join us for an “Ask an Oncologist” live chat, Tuesday December 2nd at 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific.
Meet my oncologist, Dr. Marie Mullins, DVM, MS Diplomate ACVIM (Oncology). Dr. Mullins practices at Animal Hospital Center in Denver, Colorado.
Dr. Mullins recieved her Bachelor of Science degree from Moravian College in 1997, graduated with honors from Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2001, and completed a one-year internship at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital and Referral Center in New Jersey. She completed her medical oncology residency and Master’s degree at Colorado State University.
She has a special interest in an integrative approach to cancer treatment, designed to alleviate pain, stimulate the immune system, and to ultimately provide the best quality of life for the patient. In addition to conventional treatment, complementary treatment options Dr. Mullins also provides acupuncture, nutritional consultations and supplements, Chinese herbal therapy and Reiki services to clients.

Wow, this is a great idea. I hope lots of people see this blog so they can take advantage of asking a pro all the questions they may have about their dog’s cancer. I know I’ll be here, but will be in the background watching unless I can think of something worthwhile to ask.
