Sharpeigirl Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 It's not good news for my boy. His Seziures are being caused by a tumor that's inside his head. And it's cancerous, and non-surgical. I'm going to be makeing some choices soon. It's so hard to deal with this. :cry: :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolk9s Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I am so sorry to hear this about Apollo. There is NOTHING you could have done to prevent this. Know that by holding him close while he slips over to the Rainbow Bridge is the greatest gift of pure love you can give him. In between now and then, spoil that baby rotten! My sincerest condolences to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpeigirl Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 I'll let him tell me when the time is right. Right now he's still active, and chaseing the birds, and squirrels. But I hate to see him like this. He's my baby boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aonir Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I'm sorry to hear this about Apollo.. My friend just recently had a tumor removed from his brain and it was terrifying precedure for his friends and family.. The surgery is really risky and I don't know if it's available for dogs, or even if you'd want to risk it! We're all hear for you when you decide what you will do.

Sharpeigirl Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 I've allready talked to the breeder, and she's calling all the other owners of the littermates. She's never had this in her line before. I'd do anything for him, but surgry isn't an opition, it's to far in, and in a spot that could paralize him permently. I'll just see how he gets on. If he lets me know he wants to go, I'll do it. :cry: :cry: First fighting the battle with Sassy's problems now this :( :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpeigirl Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 [quote name='newfiemom']How about chemo? Has the vet suggested that? I know this is hard and you definetely don't deserve the pain with all that you have been thru.[/quote] I don't know if I want to put him through the hell. I know chemo is exspensive also. I'll just keep good thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_Cassie Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I am so sorry :( I have gone through cancer and lost one of my Newf's 2 years back. It is hard to watch your loved one suffer through some thing beyond your control. Make Appollo's last days happy, go to his favorite places etc. I have been reading up on a supplement called Artemisinin which is showing promise for treating cancer in humans and dogs. Here are some sites you can contact. Canine Cancer Research Professor Henry Lai, Ph.D., University of Washington, Seattle Phone: (206) 543-1071 [email][email protected][/email]. Kristen Kellar-Graney, Washington Cancer Institure, Washinton, DC Phone: (202) 877-3390 sarcoma.org. If you choose to use Artemisinin, work with your veterinarian in monitoring your dog's progress. I am not sure if it is effective for type of cancer Apollo has...but, its worth a try. For dogs with Cancer here is a guide line for diet. -All ingredients should be fresh, highly bioavailabe, easily digested, and highly palatable, with a good taste and smell. -Feed only organic foods such as fresh organic meats, either raw or cooked with organic veggies and some fruits. for veggies choose veggies such as broccoli and dark green leafy veggies such as spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, watercress, bok choy. -give fish oil supplements and flaxseed oil, you can also feed canned sardines, wild salmon etc. the fatty acids in fish have been linked to tumor inhibition and strengthening the immune system. -Vitamin C should be given with the fish oil supplement. -give digestive enzymes -Garlic in small amounts (a clove a day) there is evidence that garlic and its organic allyl sulfur components are effective inhibitors of the cancer process. -Safflower oil -Limited carbohydrates. you can check out companies such as Primal pet foods primalpetfoods.com Make every moment last...keep your positive attitude. That was one of the hardest things I went through was not crying every time I looked at my dog with cancer, I kept a positive happy attitude which my Newf picked up on...he was happy and active until the end.
