The following recommendations help slow the progression of cancer in your pet, this is not an allinclusive list, but a guideline:
- High dose omega 3 fatty acids- We recommend welactin (260 mg/ml). If diarrhea develops the dose should be decreased, then slowly increased over a 2-4 week period.
- High protein diet- meat products (chicken, salmon, tuna, turkey), vanilla ensure, milk (KMR), meat baby foods, etc.
- Do not give large amounts of simple sugars and carbs- no fruit juice, no sugar, no cereals, etc.
- Prednisone (Depo-Medrol) – this may be given for suspected lymphoma (type of cancer), helps to stimulate the appetite, but has side effects. This shot of Depo-Medrol will last for 3-6 weeks. We typically recommend repeating this injection once monthly for life. If this is helping him we expect and improvement in the next 1-2 weeks.
- Pet Tinic- this is a vitamin that helps to boost the immune system.
- Convenia- This injection of antibiotics can help with secondary infections from the suspected cancer. These may be given on an as needed basis if she is not acting normal.
