  Hi Kathy-- I am so very sorry to hear of Slice's passing...it brings tears to my eyes.  TCC is such an awful disease...it's not fair that our beautiful furry companions have to go through this. Try to remember all the good times and know that you did all you could for Slice.  No matter how long they are with us, it's never enough.  My deepest sympathies are with you. Karin

  Hi Kristin-- Just saw your message.  I gave Bailey steamed broccoli and I was also told that fish oil was best, however because she didn't care for the taste, I gave her flax oil or even ground flax seed mixed with her food.  Bailey was also on Salvestrols for a few months, but they didn't seem to have any effect on her tumor.  They cost about $100 a bottle so I didn't feel it was worth it, but she ha...

  First to Holly, thank you so much for lighting a candle for Bailey.  Knowing that you're going through your own grief and thinking of others means a lot to me. Regarding Alex, I would try to find a veterinary hospital to recheck the cells in the urine.  Transitional cells make up the bladder so just because they are in the urine does not mean she has TCC.  They should be able to look at those cells un...

  Hi Holly-- My heart is breaking for you.  You tried everything you could to keep her going.  You just get to a point where you know it has to be done.  It's been almost 3 months since I had to do it for Bailey.  I still miss her terribly but try to take comfort in the fact that she is at peace and not suffering any longer.  Wishing you peace as well. Karin

  Lizzie's mom-- I would stay with the Pepcid if you haven't had any problems with it.  One of the doctors switched Bailey to the Prilosec and she had a lot of cramping and stomach upset with it.  There is also sucralfate or misoprostol.  Sucralfate is an additional buffer and misoprostol can build up the stomach lining.  But again there can be side effects.  We tried the misoprostol but we di...

  Hi Lynn-- Thank you for the beautiful sentiment...I was crying too as I read it.  I think they are little angels sent from above to help us on this earth.  Having him here will always feel like there is a part of Bailey still with me and for that I will be eternally grateful to this little guy.  I am helping him and he will be helping me! You fought hard for Chica and it was truly an inspiration to f...

  Well, I didn't think I would have another dog, let alone this soon.  However, things came about this week that I think Bailey had a hand in.  I was able to adopt another Rat Terrier...his name is currently Simon and I should be picking him up this weekend.  I still have been crying every day for Bailey, but the crazy thing is that this dog is the spitting image of Bailey.  He is 2 years old and I ...

  It sounds very similar to what Bailey experienced.  She was doing better and then vomited.  I took her the next day for an intravenous Baytril injection and that night she starting having these little twitches which I later found out was seizures.  I was bringing her out to the car to go to the hospital and she had a much larger seizure.  After that there were no more seizures but her creatinine w...

  I am heartbroken to hear your news.  A lot of us have gone through this and it just plain stinks.   Try to make peace with yourself in knowing that you did all you could to keep her going and keep her comfortable.  I think the one universal for all of us is that we do not want them to suffer.   Cherish her memories and the happy times you spent together.   I managed to get some comfort by ...
