Almost 17 months later she is alive and well, with NO indication of spread to another limb or her lungs. We give her the Doxycycline once a day and feed fresh meat and tuna fish canned in spring water, rice, fruit and vegetables particularly high antioxidant ones like blueberries and have never given chemo.
I am happy to talk via email to anyone fighting this scourge with their dog, and can supply photos of her at all stages if you wish. My previous case didn't fare nearly so well, and Australian Vets are, in my limited experience, quite fatalistic - NO help and NO constructive advice. I don't know how I would have managed dealing with my sweet dog's cancer diagnosis without the assistance of this book. This book made dealing with the sickness, and finally death, of my best friend a bit easier.
Although I miss her every day, I know that her vets and I gave her the best care we could, and I have no regrets about her treatment. That was one of the best themes of this book - do things now so you will have no regrets later. This is an excellent book to help you get through the pain and sadness of canine cancer. Comprehensive, informative, helpful, even hopeful, this is a must-have book for anyone whose dog is having a cancer experience.
I haven't finished reading it yet The book starts off with the questions most of us have, like, "Why didn't my vet catch this earlier? Chemotherapeutics, anesthetics, antibiotics and other drugs are discussed along with herbal, diet, and nutrition supplements. He also discusses how to deal with the emotional and other issues including the stress in the human family. Since I this reviewer personally am a STRONG proponent of providing the healthiest possible diet, exercise, and emotional balance in supporting our animal friends' wellness, I am happy to read the Drs recommend and support that same attention.
A drawback is that Dr. Dressler apparently has a product he offers and wants to "hawk" through this book, giving it an entire chapter.
But the other information is so valuable, I can over look that "sell". I have a 10 yr old mixed breed furkid with cancer. She is getting chemotherapy. Within hours of my house there are NO Veterinarians that are interested in integrative Vet Oncology care. It is written in an easy to read approach, but make no mistake this book is dense with useful and thought provoking information. This is a very informative book -- unfortunately I found this book a little too late, but did utilize some of the information to make him more comfortable through the process.
Am glad I now have this on hand should I have this problem with another pet. As everyone else I love my pets and it is never too early to start following some of the advice in this book to head of any problem -- I also give my dogs turmeric now as well. If your beloved pet is ill, my heart goes out to you, this book will give you direction and hope. See all reviews. See all customer images. Most recent customer reviews. Published 4 days ago.
