Mr. Milos Mom Mon, 15 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT SO sorry to hear this news..I am in the sme Boat.  My dog, Daisy ws diagnosed with a 3/4inch tumor in her bladder 12/18/06 and I am taking aholistic approach (since 12/22 she seems to be doing better) go to:google.com and search for Dr. Budwig..she lived to ve 95 yrs old who was a biochemist 6 nobel prize winner saving many lives with the cottage cheese and flaxoil combination..many testimonials.  I have not put daisy on the piroxicam yet to see if it shrinks this tumor..I am waiting until Feb for her next ultrasound.  She still takes a long time to urinate, but this mix may save her and et rid of this tumor..I don't want my dog to suffer!!!I  In addition to this mix I feed her broccoli with som very smal amount of brown rice with chicen broth, 1/2 patty f raw lamb (me vitamins in raw meat) and just started mixing in a multiviitmin with extra vitamin C..to boost the immune system.  I wish you the best of luck..AT least ou got to the 12 month mark..maybe with my suggestion longer..Now with this mix I give this to her 3 times a day, sometimes 4 times..I ay increase it.  THEY KNOW you are trying to help them to.  I talk to Daisy and tell her it will make her tummy feel better.

I have a Bichon Frise who weighs about 16 lbs. I give her 3 heaping tablespoons of lowfat organic cottage cheese mixed with1 tablespoon of Flaxsse oil (highest Lingon). I cannot tell you the improvement I have seen in Sugar since I started giving her this odd but valuable concoction. My dog did not tolerate Piroxicam very well - instead she takes Previcox which she seems to be accepting without problem. We also give her Denamarin (which is the improved version of Deramax). Once in a while she will start acting oddly or urinating frequently. That's when we put her on an antibiotic. This really helps turn her around. She seems very happy and acts like a puppy - at least for now. I really cherish every moment I have with my very loving Sugar. I hope your dog is doing well. Sugar's Mom  GeriNap Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT
