What To Do When Your Pet Gets Cancer: VLOG 78 

With chemo, my dog beat lymphoma. It wasn't easy for him but he completed the whole program. The expectation was 2 more years for him. But he got almost 5 years and we lose to DM at age of 14. He is in heaven now. Until we meet my little boy.

My Alaskan malamute had an aggressive cancer in the side of her face. I loved her so much. She died 4 weeks ago and I’ve never wept so much. Pets are special but Ellura was so much more to me. 4 years ago I broke my next. I was very Ill for three months. Ellura stayed by my side the whole time. She was so worried. I buried her and built a special place for her to lay.

Dr Sue, thank you for taking time to help us all find some information regarding cancer in pets, you have been a godsend to me during this time. I apologize for anyone's mean comments, what you are doing is amazing and I appreciate you doing this for us pet parents in youtube land.

Hello Doctor Sue! Unfortunately i found this channel too late.. when my dog was diagnosed with Lymphoma. He deteriorated pretty fast and yesterday we had to make a tough decision to put him down and end his suffering. To all of those who are fighting cancer KEEP FIGHTING TILL THE END! Just dont forget if you see your pet suffering make the right decision. As much as we want them to stay with us longer, we need to do it for them not for us! Thank you doctor Sue for teaching us!!🙏🏻🙏🏻Godd Bless all doggies and kitchies in heaven❤️❤️❤️

My Little Aussie Boy was just diagnosed with cancer. Thanks for the post. He goes into surgery on the 20th of this month.

Great overview for new people to your site. Highly recommend the videos you recommend.

My cat has a cancer, won't eat. This is kind of gross, but if I pre-chew her food, for example cooked fish, shrimp, roast turkey, then hand feed a little bit at a time, she will eat it!

Love the overview. Thanks for letting me know. 👍

My dog has a Tumor in his liver our vet said he would die if he had the surgery I'm going to try homeapathy.and listening to what you have to say.i like your speech thankyou for being on the website.

Would appreciate suggestions on dealing with the end; how to know when it’s time to say goodbye and not attempt yet one more rescue.Loss is never easy and it must be one of the hardest things you do in your profession. But you must have Knowledge and advice to share and I think it would be very beneficial on this blog. Thank you for all you do for the big and small.

My sister found your channel and guided me here. My dog was diagnosed with B Cell 3/A in March. He just finished 3rd treatment (CHOP) His oncologist is hopeful for full remission after the 5th treatment. I am too. If it gives me 12 more months I’ll take it. And I’ll do whatever I can for more time. I’m going through your lymphoma videos now and wanted to say a big THANK YOU for these Vlogs. I’be been reading articles all day and night until I just can’t process the information anymore- the cognitive load is too much to digest and distill- so again THANK YOU SO MUCH for these Vlogs. I can listen and absorb more information than reading ❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️

Thank you for all your information even though it's so hard

I’m so mortified. Just found out my special needs pug has cancer. She just turned 8 years old over the weekend. The emergency vet was not my best choice for help. But I’m seriously worrying what to do. Pet insurance is difficult to find due to preexisting conditions.

You are very much appreciated!

Firstly, thank you for all of the information you provide. My 7yo dog had an abdo ultrasound yesterday and the vet said she has a mass in her spleen and I'm struggling to recall all the info from that phone call but mentioned the mesentry, intestines and lymphoma and said basically we're looking at palliative care. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed right now about which path to take but very much appreciate the vast amount of info you provide and somehow don't feel so alone since I found your channel ❤

this is a misleading title - should be 'where to go for resources' if your pet (dog) has cancer

Thanks for videos ... They have helped me a lot while dealing with our pet's cancer

Our Primrose was started on Lomustine and also on 20 mg twice a day and weaned down to 20 mg once a day now. You said that it doesn't allow fir better results with Lomustine.

Have you ever had any experiences with Roid Rage using prednisone? I've had two experiences. One was for weight loss due to stress and the other weight loss caused by Babesia. Both cases involved pretty extreme obsessive behaviors. The stressed dog had an obsession with controlling things. Dogs, noises, etc. He would literally stare at the garage doors and pace back and fourth if he heard any kind of noise. It became so bad he couldn't focus on anything else and it became ingrained into his personality. He would focus on the doors from the moment he came out until he went in. The Babesia dog became obsessed with balls. He lost his mind one day and tore down a chain link fence to get a ball a cat had knocked out of the cat enclosure. I was able to bring both dogs back down to earth with behavior modification but neither was ever quite the same. Both dogs also ended up with bite records. Since these two, I can't say I'm a huge fan unless it's absolutely necessary.

Thanks for the post.

Does turmeric generally help dogs to avoid cancer?

Hi Dr Sue, back again with Tiggy! We went to the local cancer institute and they suggested a second surgery to try and get any cancer cells left behind in the first one and also we did ultrasounds and other testing and there is a spot in his spleen they think is benign and also his lympnodes in his legs were swollen so they did more test and they believe one has mass cells and told me to have the surgeon remove it for a biopsy :( im disappointed its spread but still relieved its early stage 2 and he doesnt need radiation or chemo. Also, dont let specific people get you down... The internet is like that! People just have a bad day or are in bad situations and they just need positivity in their life!

My dog is going to be 15 this year and the vet said that she has the worse type of cancer idk what to do I’ve had her since I was a baby we share a birthday and we are the same age could anyone help or give advice I’ll literally do anything and spend any amount of money

Thank you so much for all your videos and information. My cat was diagnosed with a mediastinal mass with pleural effusion back in February of 2020. We are going through chemotherapy now and I'm proud to say he is still ticking. I'm just elated. Your information has been amazing and very helpful. Thank you so much for everything you do explanation point

my doxie was recently diagnosed with melanoma. it showed up rapidly with a gnarly black bump on top of his snout about size of a pencil eraser

Recently I commented on a video saying I was having trouble understand a pathology report I had just recieved. I then saw this video and I just wanted to sincerely apologize if it came across as medical advice on my dog personally. But I more so wanted maybe a video to explain more about these very very difficult numbers vets throw out and words like ki67 and mitotic index. I have the number. But there is very little information that explains this on the internet. I understand if you are not comfortable or if this still is medical advice. It's just like I recieved my dogs death sentence and it explains what to expect yet it's in a different language and I have to find out by experience even tho its sitting on a table right in front of me💔

Please help me my dog has cancer and won’t eat

I would love it if anyone knows what dog food to purchase for my dog, was just diagnosed with bladder cancer this past week, I’m very sad. He has no symptoms other then blood in his urine but I want him to have a good quality of life til the time comes.

So what are we supposed to do when our pet gets cancer? View the other videos and go see het website??

I can't give medical advice. (Then she gives medical advice). LOL - TAV ♥️🇺🇸🌎👍

Can you do a video on lung cancer. My sweet bella was recently diagnosed with this

Great point Dr Sue. So sorry some people are taking their frustrations out on you. Thank-you for the info you provide. It is helpful in knowing what to ask my pet's vet.

My 11 year old Boston was diagnosed with a carotid body tumor and I just started him on Palladia. It was explained to me that it would be operable, but I didn’t want to put my dog through it. What are your thoughts on Palladia in general.

What about liposarcoma? My dog has one in his eye and the report says that it’s large . He’s 8

Can you please do a video about histiocytic sarcoma?

Could you please do a video splenic stromal sarcoma? My dog Rex was diagnosed and had a splenectomy 3.5 weeks ago and he is on my mind everyday :( He has a high mitotic index of over 30.. is my pet "doomed" as my vet has suggested?

nice video

Is there a cancer specialist in Chicago?

My dog got diagnosed with it😭😭😭😭

Dr. Sue, can you do a video on radiation options for early stage anal sac gland apocrine adenocarcinomas? My 11 year old has had his anal glands removed but the neoplasia cells extended to surgical margins hence radiation is the next step. He did have an ultrasound and calcium bloodwork done before surgery and all came back normal and clear so the next step is radiation but it it so expensive and was wondering what your experience has been for palliative radiation vs stereotactic radiation treatment and how effective it can be for these type of cancers. Would love some of your insight on these specific tumors and their radiation stage treatments. Also client education on mitotic count index and what this means? Thank you!

Half or more if this video was just the blah blah blah : a typical waste time

Too much talk get to the point

Is there any help that you know of for cat with cancer? My 8 year son has leukemia. I can't afford the surgery so I'm not sure if and when I should put her down. I have no clue if she's in pain. I felt I was giving the information that she has cancer and that's it because I don't have money.

You seem to want likes and subscribes on your social media circuit, but you won't help individuals to give them some kind of answers or suggestions or hope?????? Wow lady
