I just stumbled onto this site doing research since our beloved Westie Wendal was diagnosed with TCC last week. This hit us particularly hard, as we lost our other Westie Harley 3 months ago to lung cancer.
Wendal will be 15 yrs old in 2 days. We got Harley 2 1/2 yrs ago in preparation for (and to help me get over) losing Wendal. What a cruel twist of fate to lose our prescious and sweet Harley first. I'm no where close to being over that and can't believe I will be going through it again in the inevitable near future.
I've spent hours reading as many postings as possible and have learned a great deal. It appears we're on track with treatment - chemo and surgery weren't options, started piroxicam and pepcid, etc. I'm very curious about the supplements mentioned and will explore them, but I really need to learn more about the food everyone is mentioning. I am not a cook AT ALL and don't know how to prepare the things mentioned. Should I just purchase food at the website www.onlynaturalpet.com or could someone help me out with specific cooking instructions? He's always had a pretty sensitive stomach (as far as diet changes go) and I'm nervous to switch things up on him. However, everyone is mentioning the need to get them off carbs.
Any and all suggestions welcomed. Just like everyone else, Wendal is my world. We have no "real" children - I've just lost one baby and can't bear the thought now of losing another one.
