Reyah's condition got the best of her and she died last Friday afternoon. I am most grateful and appreciative of the attention, care, and compassion Reyah and I received from @Dr. Jeff in the hours before her death. She's buried in my back yard beside my beloved Tassule. It's been 10 years...

Wanting to share my limited experience with the ketogenic diet with Reyah (history of, and current, mammary tumors with metastasis to lungs). I too was concerned about pulling away the really good variety of foods from her diet, but most of all her joy of eating. Eating and going for walks...

I live close to Harrisburg, PA, and a friend of mine brought a dog back from Puerto Rico a month or so ago. She and her husband do a lot of rescue work in PR. The dog was given HWP in Puerto Rico and now has tested positive for heartworm. I've shared highlights of this thread with my friend...

@Dr. Christina -- I always do because I learned that from you! I used to keep a small bowl of water with Flea Free in it along with her regular water. The fleas are pretty much gone and she started drinking from the regular water bowl. Now I have RR in her large bowl and that's where she...

Thanks @amyland -- I found a washable diapers that I used for my big lab a few years ago and wrap them around her the opposite way that they're supposed to be used. Putting nonstick gauze inside for absorption. They look like this: Cleansing with goldenseal and using the Stem Gel green tea...

Thank you both! She was wearing a t-shirt when I first brought her home with an ulcerating mammary tumor years ago so I've already tried one. I used one of my old t-shirts and actually think I need a child's shirt. And maybe putting something absorbent inside. I wasn't able to find the exact...

Hi all! Looking for ideas on how to deal with my 11-year-old Springer Spaniel, Reyah. She has a large mammary tumor that I'm addressing with @Dr. Jeff. It's located in front of her back right leg. Reyah is able to lick the tumor and she has licked a small area open, about 1 x 1.5 inches...

Thanks Nicci -- good information!

I'm definitely interested in hearing more from Nicci!

I'm definitely interested in hearing more from Nicci and comparing notes.

I see...we should meet at Doglicious when you're in this area some time! Yes, I use the Vitality Blend that was talked about during that Empower Hour along with broccoli seed extract that can reduce tumor growth/size. That's my simplified explanation! Thanks Liz!

Forgot something -- @Dr. Christina , @Dr. Jeff , or anyone... Looking at Kent -- STOMACH, APPETITE, wanting -- this is how I described Reyah close to the beginning of this thread, always wanting to eat. How is wanting different than insatiable and/or ravenous? She has never stolen food from a...

Thanks everyone for wealth of good info and resources in this thread -- @Dr. Jeff , @Dr. Christina , @lizkunz , and @jsqueglia Liz -- I follow Doglicious on Facebook but have never been there! They're closer to me since they've moved but there are closer resources -- Abrams & Weakley and...

I see...never would have thought of that. Ordered!

Thank you so much for this extra information! My responses are below: Fantastic to hear about Reyah, and welcome back Kristin! Yes, Answer's makes some great food. Reyah's appetite definitely sounds like Archie's. Has she always been "insatiable" ( STOMACH - APPETITE, - insatiable : (20))...

Thank you, I can use this too for Reyah. Kristen

@Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff -- thank you both! I returned 12:45 a.m. today from a retreat in warm, sunny Mexico. I was away 9 days. Reyah tolerated the Answers very well. I believe she is like Archie from what Dr. Jeff has said about him. She would eat a meal every time I walk into the...

Thank you @Dr. Jeff -- I'll schedule an appointment with you and complete the update form. Kristen

Appreciate this!

So very sorry...deep peace to you and Gidget. Kristen
