I have been reading the messages daily now for awhile. Misty was
diagnosed in Oct. 2005. She has been taking Prioxicam since the
beginning and then we have been doing acupuncture and herbs as well as
cottage cheese with flax. Someone asked about diet. I feel diet is
very important and she has been on Cowboy Cookout by Merrick foods-can
and dry. This was recommended by the holistic vet. She did very well
for over a year. She has been having up and down days for the last few
months. I have a write-up about her on the web that tells more about
what we have done since the start until Feb. 2007. You can read about
it at:
http://home.earthlink.net/~texas2step/MistysJourney.html She
is now having seizures and we think the cancer has spread to her brain
as she has lost some of her vision and she is getting weaker and having
to urinate more and more. She is still eating and is able to get up
(although very hard for her to do this, but once up can walk ok). She
is whining more at night and pacing a lot. For those of you who have
been through this to the end, did anyone experience this? Because she is still
eating and getting around and wagging her tail we feel she still wants
to be around, but it is getting hard to see her so tired all the time
and confused because she can't see too well.
PS- For Ryle's mom- is Ryle still with you?
