Lonna, So sorry to hear about your bitch. Many years ago I had a bitch that had a fibrocarcinoma on the underside of her jaw. I initially thought it was some sort of insect bite but several months later it started growing so I knew it wasn't an insect bite. Things I wish I knew when my bitch had this cancer. Eliminate plant based carbohydrates from the diet as they turn to starch which turns to sugar which feeds cancer cells. Use a good immune supportive vitamin supplement that is not loaded with plant based carbohydrates. you might want to check out the Berte's Immune Blend at www.b-naturals.com . B-Naturals is straight forward in telling you exactly what is in their product and don't use fillers like so many of the so called good supplements. Another supplement to use with cancer dogs is Omega 3 fatty acids that is found in fish or salmon oil. (use the capsules because the liquids are not as stable since they oxidize very easily.) Your bitch should be getting 1,000 mg per every 10 lbs. of body weight rather than a "maintenance" dose which is 1,000mg per 20-30 lbs. of body weight. Hope this info helps Barb It is time for "WE THE PEOPLE" to take back America www.naturalcanines.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
