I buy a pre-made veggie mix from A Place for Paws in Ohio. They have two mixes. I buy the one they promote for cancer/diabetes/yeast overgrowth (for lower glycemic index). It's called "Just Veggies Too" and can be found on their website under ground mixes. It is a frozen mix of pulverized fresh veggies. They ship in coolers UPS ground as long as you are within a 2 day ground shipping area.

Dear Tom.....My Keesha never had the radiation treatments either but the chemo and lymphoma yes....she did get finicky with the eating from time to time...so we did have hurdles to get over...I did hand feed her sometimes...there were days we tried something different everyday...and just kept changing foods

Maybe he is just having an "off" day. Trigger hasn't had the radiation, but there have been times when he would just turn his nose up to food (and trust me when I tell you just HOW much he loves food!!) It may even be what he is eating off...try paper plates, china, metal,

Thanks Kris!! He is back to chicken soup today!!! I just think he wants a little rotation. He's not a fan of bread so the pizza is out. I did try KFC the other day & he turned it down LOL. Of course I am not used to him turning down any kind of food, he is usually very food motivated!!! Yes he really seem to like the chicken liver. I must go & but more today & will add pepcid to his rotation.Good

Tom,Radiation and chemo are very hard on the dogs. Before I’d make the decision to put Chester to sleep, I’d ask if stopping the radiation and chemo were possible, to give him some relief from the assault on his system. (I’m not familiar with lymphoma, so this is just raising the possibility of another direction).

Dear Tanya, I am so sorry for your loss of Jackson. I just don't have words to express it better today, but he sounds a wonderful dog and you are obviously a loving and caring pet parent. May the pain pass in time and leave just the beautiful memories he would want you to have. Hugs and comforting thoughts, Kris

Hi all,My 8 yrs old lab/chow, Chester, was diagnosed with lymphoma on 11/15/10. I started chemo on him that day. The protocol is called CHOP RT.... for some reason I didn't see that name very much on this board. It is similar to the UoW protocol. RT means with 2 radiation treatment. He is on Antiemetic med (Cerenia), metoclopramide to stimulus appetite, Tramadol for pain, Primor for Kidney

Jackson passed away today at home assisted by his vet surrounded by family and friends.He had not been well lately having multiple bleeds. For the last two days his stomach has been extremely swollen due to a massive and continuous bleed. He looked at me and I knew he'd had enough. I will miss him more than words can say. He was the best dog I have ever had. My gorgeous boy. My soul mate. "He is

Mary,Thank you so much for sharing that wonderful story of success. I'm so glad Cameo is doing well and didn't have to have that surgery! I would love to hear what your vet used for her cancer. I know spindle cell cancer can be a tough one to beat, as is Ty's. Did she actually have a tumor that went away with the holistic treatments? My biggest worry is that Ty's tumor seems to remain the same,
