Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

Angel Porthos, Pyrenean Mastiff, 7 years old Os front right leg, DX 18 May 2012, Amputation 14 June 2012, Hip Dysplasia, Two TPLO surgeries. Is now somewhere over the rainbow, 21 November 2013.

Jack Russell born in 2001. Mast cell cancer found Dec 2009 and right rear amputation. Five rounds of chemo done before all treatment stopped. Living life to the fullest!! Read my story at http://rizzo.tripawds.com
Great news! It was probably a joke, but just in case, Metamusil is really tough on doggy tummies. Instead, try canned pumpkin. Works like a charm!
We're on Day 4 post amputation and Kelsey had a good pooper this AM. She's on tramadol, so the opiate could be slowing her system, but she's been eating sweet potatoes which I think helped.
Keep us updated!
Last night Logan seemed really restless and uncomfortable...I wondered if he was in pain...none of us were sleeping, we were so worried, finally, at about 3:30 am we took him outside and he had the biggest poop I've ever seen! What a relief! For both of us! I hadn't even thought of that being the reason.
It's Poopapalooza! Everybody's poopin'!
