dogbesotted Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 OMG I am shocked. No words are adequate. I would strongly recommed holistic support no matter what treatment that is going to be followed. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toohey Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Ok it has now been confirmed, it is a very aggressive form of cancer.I am meeting with the vet & the owners on Wednesday evening to discuss what to do next. This is just what I need right now :p I'm really really sorry to read this SB. Such a young lively life no doubt as well My 14 year old cat, Toohey, was put to sleep a few months ago for the same reason. It came out of nowhere and so quickly. I noticed her food mostly was going all over the floor instead of into her mouth and we found an angry red growth was adhering her tongue to the base of her mouth. We tried her with steroids for a few days but no effect, and the alternative of radical mouth surgery and radiotherapy was not an option at her age. I had her put to sleep a few days later when she could not eat or drink at all. So sad to keep them going when they are miserable and we are so lucky to have the option of euthanasia with our pets. Thinking of you and the pup's family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibizan Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 So sorry tohear the news Silverblue.Robert McDowell has some great information on chemotherapy and radiotherapy support should you decide to go that way. Holistic treatment can be used in combination with orthodox treatment.Thinking of you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamasgoldenboy Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) Hi Silverblue I hope this helps http://www.cancerchoices.com/Merchant2/mer...ode=Squalamax-C This may be purchase cheaper from New Zealand. We Hope this helps http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/tf/s...tm#testimonials Its about the Transfer factor a lady, mixed the transfer factor with a little pure water and placed it on the tumour as well as giving one capsule morning and night. I'm sure the Transfer factor is sold in Australia. The story is right near the bottom on the right hand side under lymphatic cancer.

Silverblue Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Went with the owners to the vets tonight. His mass has doubled in size in a week, it is huge & gross & continually bleeds. It is situated under his tongue, so they are saying they can remove it but alot of the bottom jaw ( 3 cm ) each side of the mass will have to come off as well. His owners are devastated to say the least,they estimate surgery to be in the thousands $$$$$$. I have passed on all the links everyone has sent me, however it seems to already have a hold on him, poor little Scamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaves Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 We had a toy poodle who got mouth cancer. They couldn't operate because it was under her tongue from the join to the bottom of her mouth right back towards the back of her throat. We medicated her and as soon as she was in pain that medication could not help we let her go. A hard decision but the fairest. Good luck, i truly hope that the vets can do something to help this little one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaBelushi Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 very sad, it's hard to understand how a 12 month old pup can get mouth cancer? that seems too young! it may be worth inspecting the pups diet and environment for carcniogenic substances eg aspestos boards, herbicides etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
