Alternative treatment for a dog.
This is strictly anecdotal so please understand that I am not advocating a particular treatment, just sharing my own experience. I have a 23 year old shepherd/husky/pit mix, yes, that is twenty-three human years of age (there isn't even a place on the chart that gives dog years for her). She developed an awful tumor which was presumed to be cancer - it was hard as a rock and pulled the surrounding skin tight. At her age and with a diagnosis of laryngeal paralysis which affects her airway, there wasn't a vet who would touch her for surgery. In desperation I started looking for alternative therapies. I started my furbaby on Astragalus and ginseng bid (one tablet each twice daily) with high potency full spectrum cbd oil from Lazarus Naturals - about 1/4 dropper twice a day or more if I thought about it. My old girl weighs 54 lbs. I didn't have a formula for how much to use, it just "felt right". All of this was done with my vet's full knowledge and approval. By the end of week 3, I was starting to notice that the tumor was getting a little smaller and the skin was not as tight. Now, as I am ordering more bottles, the tumor is less than half its original size, the skin is very loose, almost normal and my old girl seems to be feeling better - she is once again snipping at the puppy. Our vet termed her a 'remarkable girl' and her blood work looks great. Hope this helps!
