I hope you and gypsy are still doing ...Hi Vanessa,<br /><br />I hope you and gypsy are still doing well. I am a trainer and my first client lost her 88 yr old mama and the day after the funeral I took her in to the vet cause she was in bad shape. The vet gave me the bad news, bladder cancer, that had compartmentalized her bladder, which is why she was getting infections and it had moved into her eurethra. She was given a week at best a month to live. She was given Metacam, cerenia and antibiotics. Which helped but the infection continued so she was on antibiotics for two weeks and off for two weeks. I decided to change her diet, to a human diet consisting of ground beef, chicken, tuna, salmon, sardines, fresh veggies, always japanese eggplant and yes a little garlic along with tumeric and a few drops of fish oil in every meal. Her meal consists of rice with these ingrediant and a yummy probably not so healthy doggie treat, duck, venison or chicken jerky. No salt and definitly no sugar (cancer fuel) unless I have to sneak an antibiotic in that way with a bite of vanilla ice cream. She acts like a puppy the tumor is still there, but her flow is good and no more blood in her urine. I put her on antibiotics the moment I see the slightest sign of pink in her urine (1-2 mths). I also take her to every park, river, hike and everywhere I can take her in mean time. Her week to live was given 8 months ago and she shows no signs of slowing down. She sqwats alot to empty, that will probably not change, but she is 14.5 years old, West Highland White Terrier. Food is her spice of life as well as outtings, something to look forward to. We hope they will stay forever, but sometimes it doesn't work that way, so spend every moment like its the last. Laugh, love and enjoy each other and most importantly eat well. I hope everything worked out for you and Gypsy. This method has worked for Zoe but it is not a vet recommended plan. I just decided to give her the world during her last days and the world has given her a few more months, I don't know how long she has, she isn't a candidate to have surgery and I can't afford more medicine beyond metacam, but she will have a wonderful quality of life as long as she jumps around when I stop by to take her out and continues to smile.

Sorry not to have been in touch agai...Dear Vanessa<br /><br />Sorry not to have been in touch again sooner, but couldn't post comments for some reason. I'm wondering how you and Gypsy are doing? You're very welcome to email me if you want someone to talk to: mandywolves@hotmail.comMandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818262946358373762.post-2054851899872410102009-06-30T17:14:53.925-07:002009-06-30T17:14:53.925-07:00Thank you Mandy and Helena for writing back to me ...Thank you Mandy and Helena for writing back to me with your suggestions. Mandy I will follow up your suggestions and Helena thank you also- your boy was only on Metacam for a week so he probably wasn't on it for long enough to develop problems alongside the CV247. It's ulcers that is the worry here for us and weighing up risk versus trying the CV247. I just don't know what to do.<br /> Please keep in touch with me- I am feeling very alone in this and am falling to pieces in the void. <br /> Thank you again for your kind words- means so much.<br /> VanessaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
