Thanks for the kind words and links. He has been taking I'm Yunity since the start of all of this back in April. I can only guess that it has helped him this far so I will continue to give it to him.  The oncologist had recommended it from the very beginning.  It certainly hasn't hurt him!  I'll keep you all updated. He starts his oral chemo on Monday as well as a liver supplement to protect it.

I have just read your story, wow! I am sorry to hear the news but I am happy that he is comfy, learned to do his business on three legs, and seems very happy. Several people I have met here swear by the homeopathic remedies and have had wonderful luck with them. It can prolong a good quality of life, and that is what counts. I will follow your story, and wait for pictures and updates. Cannot wait to see them! You are a wonderful pawrent and his progress reflects that heart

Sending good thoughts and pawsitive vibes your way heart

The fact that Guinness has a head start on his mushroom therapy is encouraging!.   And certainly the fact that he is showing no symptoms is really  encouraging!

A scoop of ice cream every now and then, along with a drive thru cheeseburger sounds like a good "treatment" plan also!  Maybe Guinness will let you jave some!

And I agree, we MUST have pictures of this special boy!!  

We hereby declare EVERYDAY IS GUINNESS DAY!! 🙂   

We're cheering for ya' Guinness!

Love and hugs!

Can anyone help me with how to attach some pictures?  I went to the help button and it said to look for the "attachment" button under the editor bar but I don't see it.

Thanks!

Here is how you add photos to forum posts.  The photos have to be hosted on line somewhere- I use my Tripawds blog.

This is him after bath time.  I'll get a video this weekend of him putting himself in the tub when I tell him it's bath time.

Omg Guinness you are too cute! Can you explain to Loki the joys of bath time? He only likes playing in mucky streams and the ocean. Hehe anyway, so happy to hear that Guinness is adjusting well!

Hugs and puppy kisses,

Brittnie and Loki

I loved life as a tripawd for over three years following right forelimb amputation due to an aggressive and recurrent hemangiopericytoma. I reclaimed my place among the gods and valkyries in Valhalla on November 11th, 2020. My parents miss me tremendously, but I know they'll keep me in their hearts forever... and don't worry, I've approved my mom's use of my Tripawds account.
