Hello there! I haven’t signed on in awhile, Im more of just a watcher skimmer of the site but wanted to jump on as i seen your post and wanted to chime in. I am also doing this. Our 10 year old husky was diagnosed with anal cancer 4 weeks ago. He has multiple masses that had ruptured. We can’t justify the 10k surgery no matter how many times we have went over it so my husband and I have decided to go this route.

I can’t make his food but I changed brands to something that had very little carbs and only whole grains with no protein or meat byproduct. We went the route of fenben for goats as it was the most cost effective. Turmeric was also added. He just finished the round of antibiotics for the infection that popped up at the beginning of the diagnosis.

I am doing 3 days on 4 days off, we just wrapped up the 4th week.

My observations - the masses actually look so much better while he is on the 3 days. I also seen a crazy improvement after the first day of dosing that my husband said I was crazy for thinking. During the 3 days there is no active bleeding, they look as if they are trying to heal up and shrink. By the 4th day of being off he is actively bleeding again. The pain meds are real strong, I don’t like seeing him that out of it so I only give them to him at night because that seems to be when it’s the most irritated and we wake up with blood all over the place. Depending how this next 4 days off goes I may switch it up and reduce the dosage and do an everyday type of thing. The article that was linked on your last post was actually the one I came across to give me an idea of how to go about this. I reread it and will be adding in some of the vitamin D and MCT oil. I may go the route of pill form as he is real good about taking pills. Mixing things into some canned food has proven to be difficult as he is a diva. Only dog i have ever seen that will sit down with a piece of steak and take bites from it to savor the flavor. I’m literally not even exaggerating here. He has never been one to woof down anything.

Behavior wise he doesn’t seem sick aside from laying around more then he normally does. Doesn’t seem to respond as quickly as he used to and his hind legs seem to be weaker then before. I’m assuming from the pain in his rear?

Our guy is a part of the family. My tough husband always gets caught being a softy with our dude and he was crushed as much as I was after the diagnosis. But logically 10k is just unattainable right now in our current financial climate so we are doing all that we can financially.

I am hopeful that at the very least he is as healthy and as happy as possible through the end. If I can’t extend his life I am hoping that I can give him some comfort. I’m rooting for you and please keep us all update!
