I wouldn't remove the link. I think others will find this interesting and it is something new. It is amazing how everyday new approaches to pet cancer are discovered.
Video Please! Need Video of Lacey!
My Beautiful Beloved Brownie was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma on February 26, 2019. With all odds against him he lived an additional one year and eight days with amputation, love, and prayer. I was honored to be his mom, and I have never been so proud! He will live forever in my Heart!

https://www.avm.....ets-cancerJerry it appears hills will come out in march. Please remove the link if I am overstepping my bounds as a newbie. I will check out the links you mentioned.
Thank you for sharing! Oh my gosh not overstepping at all, we appreciate the information. Feel free to put it in Eating Healthy so it's there as a resource.
I have to add that while going thru this journey how much I learned by other people posting about their vet appointments, dog diet, rehab and so on. Even though Brownie did not have chemo there is so much more to learn having a happy Tripawd. We all lean from each other.,😁

We picked up Lacey’s brothers yesterday so the family is back together. We are amazed at how after two weeks Lacey is just like she was before the cancer was diagnosed. Amazing! I don’t think we could have believed this outcome if we hadn’t seen it for ourselves.
She is visibly excited her brothers are home.
Now we will progress to food and supplement options.
Working on a video of her playing. Jerry is it easier to send it to you so it can be posted?
What a nice update. The entire family together again!
For videos you can just right click in the video, copy the URL link and paste into the forum. But of you have problems I know Jerry is always willing to help. She helped me all the time before I was able to do it myself.
Can't wait to see video..

YAY! Nothing better than having the pack back together again. I'm so happy she is doing great!!! We all are!
We cannot wait to see the video! Yes you can email it to me if it's relatively short, otherwise upload to Google Drive and message me a link to it.
Oh my gosh look at her go! Yowza!
She looks so happy. How are her brothers doing around her?
Henry and Gunner are doing quite well. The big guy, Henry, wants to play and other times wants to figure out what the stitches are for by smelling them....
I have read on CBD for her but in a nutshell is there a benefit and what is it really.

So glad everything is going so well! Having everyone back together and settling in to their normal routines is therapeutic for all👍
Absolutely love the video. She looks wonderful and so full of joy. Her gait is looks as normal as of she had four.
Jerry actually has a "certification" geared towards the best CBD to use. Also there is a study going on with a thread somewhere on here where you can sign on and give and get feedback on CBD.
Unfortunately I'm zero help in the right words to use for the search. For now until Jerry comes along, start with CBD in the search bar.

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Henry and Gunner sound like such good dogs! Yeah it's not unusual for the sniffing to occur. The biggest issue with other pets is just keeping everyone mellow so that the new Tripawd can heal.
As Sally mentioned, I am a Certified Veterinary Cannabis Guide. I did this so that I can share reliable, unbiased (unsponsored) information about cannabis to members who are thinking about trying it. Yes, cannabis and hemp CBD products can help but only when made by a reputable manufacturer who has gone the extra mile to ensure their products are what they say they are. And it's always more effective when you work with a knowledgeable vet who can help find the ideal cannabis product. I can connect you with one if you would like more specific info about how it can help Lacey.
You can check out all of my posts about Cannabis for Pets, and feel free to start a new Eating Healthy topic if you have related questions.
Lacey and I took a trip to the doctor today for blood tests. They came back fine which gets us the ok for the second round of chemo next Friday. She is definitely back to herself just like you all said she would be. She’s.a warrior and doesn’t miss a beat. I will admit she had a few nose dives going after the ball and I feel bad. We are soooooooo thankful to have this time where she is happy and herself. No regrets on amputation.
I probably won’t be alive when they find a cure for this horrible disease but that really needs to happen and be someone’s priority. Yeah yeah I know that has probably been said millions of times. It gives my life a whole new perspective, one I did not have prior to this. My wife ia also battling cancer. We need a cure.. ugh…rant over
ROCK ON LACEY!!! WHEEEEEE!!!!
Oh gosh I didn't know about your wife. I'm so sorry. Cancer seems like it's just everywhere these days. I hope she is doing well. Lacey's recovery magic is certainly good medicine for her!
In the time since we started Tripawds, we've seen some major advances in cancer therapy for people and pets. No cure yet, but the therapies are really giving extended quality of life, more than ever. It would just be a million times better if nobody got it in the first place!
Lacey’s bloodwork came back good per our oncologist last Friday which gave us the go ahead for the second round of chemo yesterday. She was a bit over anxious this morning. She has me go out back about five times each morning to play ball but today it was non stop from 0700 until almost 0830 which is when we gave her anti anxiety meds. She’s a bit more calm now. Not a big fan when she is droopy eyed but understand why….. Doctor said she is doing very well and her incision looks a lot better.
The only thing that has changed is she now has me throw the ball and I have to run and get the ball and she will run with me. A few times she will get the ball. She has started to play catch where I throw the ball up and she either catches it or hits it back to me….
I hope this finds everyone well and fighting the good fight!
Well Lacey is training you right lol! I'm so glad she is getting As at the vet and on track for treatment. Way to go!
Thanks for the news, it's so helpful for folks to see that a dog's personality and life can be normal even while going through cancer therapy. Yours too! Yay!
