Now youre head is swimming with tons of information about treatment options, side effects, length of time you have left and quality of life for your dog. Your first step is to assess all your treatment options and their consequences. If your current vet is only giving your traditional treatment options, you may want to ask for a referral to a vet that specializes in holistic options as well. You can mix both traditional western medicine and holistic options as well. For instance, if you choose the chemotherapy route that was advised by your vet, you can help your dog relieve some of the nausea and pain by acupuncture. You only get one shot at helping your dog through this terrible disease. There are tons of claims on the internet about cures that dont involve the traditional treatment options. Its essential that you have a veterinarian that is experienced in holistic treatments to guide you through this process.

Your vet can guide you through the many different options and create a blend of treatments that will work best for your dog. It may seem bleak now, but with the many different treatment options there are, chances are good you can help your dog through this very difficult time. |
