I just joined this site and forum. my buddy is 10.5 years old and was diagnosed 2 weeks ago. no chemo, no radiation....why would i put him thru that. we are doing strictly diet, herbs, supplements and chinese herbs. if your dog has any cancer, please please google the budwig diet for dogs, lucys nasal cancer, and essiac tea for dogs. nasal cancer as well as many others have responded. do every homework you can, research research research. its all out there waiting for you. then pray to our God above for wisdom and help with this lovely creature He gave you to be the companion of your heart and soul. Nash's mom. nose bleeds, sneezing.....thought he has sniffed up a foxtail.....rhinosppcopy.....it comes on fast....a very healthy boy we thought would be with us for at least another couple years....and with God's grace he will. Hes eating like a champ, unilateral cancer, so other nostril still unobstructed, but eye is getting bulgy....today the swelling went down and he was almost himself! Is it strange our dogs are all dying of cancer? think it has anything to do with their food or vaccinations. lets get real about these things....there has got to be a reason so what is the common denominator.

gino was put down 3 months ago because he had nasal cancer as well. he was 15. never consulted a vet before and was very strong. even the vets were surprized that he had such beauftiul coat. even on his last day he was still begging for food. you can read my thread to know more. all i can say is treasure your times you have with him.

my boy fought this disease for 6 months without medication and we told him to let go on the last day. it felt as though he understood because we felt we went weak that day. he was hanging on all for us. his blood gushed out non stop. i hope things get better for yourself as well.

take care. my thread is at the bottom after my signature.

Dear Kimberly, I am so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful dog. I will look Gino up on FB - just getting familiar with this site and how to post, respond, etc. Its rather complex and not particularly user friendly I don't think but have managed to post a photo. You know, it is more males than females that get the nasal cancer. God bless you. I cried when I saw your picture of he and you from the back. They are so loving and giving and they are ours forever. Janis

Hi Janis, welcome to the forum. I am very sorry for your Nash boy. Sending healing vibes, prayers and best wishes for successful treatment.

Dear Buddy's Mom - thank you. Nash is doing pretty good. Most people would not know he is sick, but we do. We are doing many good things for him - we are giving in Yumman Bai Yao for nasal bleeding, we are giving the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese ala the Budwig Protocal and he is eating like a king, he always has, but even more so now. He has some eye problems but the last few days it seems somewhat relieved. He is also on Stasis Breaker. Thank you for you kind words. I will acquaint myself with you and your Buddy soon.

It always breaks my heart to read about another precious golden dealing with cancer. I wish I could do something but all I can do is send you healing thoughts. We have never dealth with nasal cancer but have gone down the hemangiosarcoma road 5 times over the years. Give Nash a kiss for me.

So so sorry that Nash has this terrible disease. Praying that you and Nash have many many many more happy times together. You are right in that too many of our fur babies are being struck down with this. It is so so sad. Love and positive thoughts,
