No good news again. She slept all day yesterday. A friend of mine she hasnt seen in a while came by,she got up and was happy to see him. But she didnt eat or drink all day.
The rancid breath wasnt as bad as it has been. Usually you could smell it across the room. It smelled worse than when the septic truck pumps out your septic tank. The smel is more like a lingering fart with maybe some fish mixed in.
Its looking like today will be a repeat of yesterday. She still hasnt got out of bed this morning.i think another day or 2 of this and im gonna have to end it for her. As much as i wanted this stuff to work,i cant make her suffer. Maybe if i started this a month ago,it wouldve had a chance.
Dont have any improvements to talk about.
But yesterday the bad breath drooling and licking are back. Not as bad as it has been.
She didnt eat last night.mainly laid on the couch sleeping with us. Its not uncommon for her to sleep all day,she was never a very active energetic dog. Its not uncommon for her to not eat at night plus she had a pretty big breakfast yesterday.
Dosed her yesterday morning. She spent most of the day on the couch sleeping on my wife.
Shes been drooling some grosse looking and rancid smelling drool. She would be licking it ofg her front leg like every 5 seconds. She wasnt drooling much at all.wasnt licking her leg much either.
There were hints of her rancid breath but you had to be really close tobher snoot to smell it.used to smell it across the room. Weve gotten a few whiffs of it this morning. But not even close to how bad its been for the last month.
The lump on her face has definately shrunk a bit.its about half the size it was when i started this.
Oh boy did she want to eat last night. My wife had some stew meat that she cooked up with some carrots,frozen peas and some other stuff. Put it in a blender to break up the big chunks of stew meat. She cant open her mouth more than about halfway and im sure its painful for her to chew. She slurped it right up and was looking for more!
She was feeling good last night. Back to being her normal pain in the ass self. I was not expecting much from this treatment. I sure wasnt expecting to see any changes for atleast a week if at all.i dont know if its killing the cancer or not but it is doing something. Im surprised and happy with the results so far so we will keep going with it and hope for the best.
Thank you everyone for the prayers,kind words and encouragement.
For those who havent seen the previous discussions. This is the treatment im trying. https://www.prairiedoghall.com/curing-my-dogs-cancer/
I dont know what to expect to see happen with this at all. I sure wasnt expecting anything on the first day.
We cooked up some ground beef and chicken livers with some squash and beef broth.i mixed in the fenben and vitamins. She slurped it right up.
My wife said she slept all day.its not unusual for her to sleep all day.shes a lazy mutt.
When i came home,i noticed the rancid smelling breath wasnt bad,could usually smell it across the room. I didnt say anything.out of the blue my wife said "i really cant smell her breath". She was drooling some gross looking stuff. I assume the lump popped and was leaking.
The lump on her face looked like it shrunk. I didnt say anything to my wife. Woke up this morning and wife was all excited cuz the lump shrank and she can open her eye all the way. The lump is literally about half the size it was.
I did not think id be giving an update for atleast a few more days or a week. I dont know if these changes are a good thing caused by 1 dosing or its a bad thing indicating the end is near. Ill dose her again this morning and see what happens.
I probably shoulda started this alot sooner than now but i figure better late than never.
I talked to my vet about it. He has heard about it being used in humans for cancer. But hasnt heard if it works or not. He doesnt think it will work. But he says its not gonna hurt to try. And if it does do anything for her,he wants to know.
I cant sit here and do nothing while i watch her die. Shes got plenty of life left in her. Shes still running around like a puppy.shes still trying to eat like a pig and play with her toys but the lump on her face makes it hard for her to open her mouth. Shes not laying around or sleeping more than she usually does,its all she does anyways.she was never a hyper go go go type dog anyways.
We shall see what happens. If yall could send some hopes and prayers her way,id appreciate it.
