Mouth Cancer In Puppy- Confirmed


 Share

Recommended Posts

One of my pups from Boris & Smudge has just been diagnosed with mouth cancer, he is only 12 months old :laugh::laugh:

They were playing ball & noticed blood on the ball, so they took him to the vets where they have done biopsies etc, they will know more on Thursday, however I will be ringing the vet in the morning.

He did have an overshot mouth (bottom jaw sticking out), but I doubt this has anything to do with it, he is eating & playing.

I am at a bit of a loss :laugh:

If it were my pup, I would be putting it onto selenium (1mg per 10kg bodyweight daily) plus 500 IU Vit E. Yesterday!

The vets will say that this dose is far too high and toxic, but toxicity doesn't occur until 2-4 mg per 1kg bodyweight.

An orthomolecular doctor put me onto this, as a Canadian vet is using this protocol with his patients, and has very promising results so far. They need to buy a selenium sheep drench called Selenium Drench Concentrate, and dilute according to instructions - it will cost about $20. Vit E from the supermarket will do.

Many people have cured their own cancers with this same product, including terminal, inoperable bowel cancer, in just a few months.

Bloody Hell. 12 months is appallingly young!\\

I use Dr Barbara Fougere ( holisticvet) and have since august 2002. If you would like contact details let me know.

Holistic treatment is very individual and I prefer to have individual consultations.

My Lucinda has been treated by Barbara since the beginning of september 2002. ( at that time I was advised by Lucinda s oncologist at the Uni of Qld Vet Clinic to take her home for a few days to say goodbye.It is now Oct 2006 and the fair L is still here and still having quality of life altho we are now heading towards that final journey.

Are you saying Selenium helps people with cancer????

I have started to look into this on the web and see what it states...

The orthomolecular doctor that put me onto it has had excellent results with his patients. The vitamin E helps with the whole process. Ordinary doctors will not agree with it, due to potential toxicity, how they can prefer the incredibly toxic, carcinogenic chemo is beyond me :laugh:

Ok I spoke to the vet today ( totally off record ) It seems they found a Large mass in his mouth, biopsies were taken & as his lymph nodes were also swollen it was decieded to test tham as well, In the vets words " It doesn't look very promising "

The results should be back either tommorow or thursday, when the vet will ring me again to discuss with the owners what options are avaible.

Will keep you posted

i'm sorry to hear about your puppy silverblue and if you need any advice once the histopath results are back i can certainly help you decipher. i am a veterinary oncology nurse working with antony moore and angela frimberger in NSW, both of whom are world renowned veterinary medical oncologists. there are only 5 oncologists and 1 internal medicine specialist with special interest in oncology in australia. i'm not sure what state you are in but i can also help you with names for referral, etc if you need it.

just remember that not all cancers need chemo, but some definately do. depending on the tumor type, surgery may well be a cure. and if chemo is needed, the goal in veterinary oncology is quality of life for your pet and yourself! chemotherapy in pets is not as severe as it is in humans for many reasons. i have never heard of selenium as a treatment of cancer in pets, but depending on its mechanisms it may assist with boosting the immune system etc and give additional support - i would get veterinary advice about it.

if you need any futher info, please feel free to PM me and you can also check out some great information at www.vetoncologyconsults.com

best of luck, will keep fingers and toes crossed!
