Question by Someone: A dog of my friend has cancer, what do you do if dies? How do you take care of this? Who do you bring it to?
A friend of mine dog has cancer is about to die. It doesn’t have long to live. She was asking me what to do if the dog dies? Do you bring it to the animal shelter or a vet? And how do you take care of this? And if we want to put it to sleep who do we go to?

Thanks!

The vet can put the animal to sleep. Many vets will make a casting of the paw or a hair clipping or some other memento for you. After putting the dog down the vet will either give you back the body for burial (if your county allows it) or will make arrangements to have him cremated.

If the dog dies at home you can bury it yourself or you can call someone to pick him up for cremation. Your vet can tell you who they use for that service.

Sorry for your friend’s loss. It’s hard I know

Question by ImLost: How do you know if your dog has cancer without taking him to the vet?

You can’t. You have to have him diagnosed by the vet.

This footage was taken the day Dingo was officially diagnosed with canine lymphoma. After taking him home to share the news he was honored with being allowed to play with the ‘coveted oven mitt’. A stuffed squirrel also was gifted to him as well as a trip to his favorite park to run and explore freely. We wanted to maximize the day and watch him embrace life even though he had just been given such bad news. Dingo was such a strong willed dog, an amazing companion and friend to all.

Max (Keegans Surprise) is owned by Julie Day. He enters Companion Shows, fundraises, and has been on stage in Panto. He likes walks,holidays,steam trains & cuddles. He dislikes Fireworks,Goal Keepers on TV and coming home from holidays with Mummy Daddy and his Sister. He raised £168 in 1 ½ hours for the RSPCA. Appeared on stage in the local Panto as Toto and loved it. Came 3rd in the Woof factor. All of this despite being on Chemotherapy for 13 months. Does he look like a dog that had a rectal tumour removed and has Lymphoma ? A fine example of a happy much loved dog.

Question by J: what are the exact symptoms of breast cancer in dogs?
i have a 4 year old toy poodle who had 5 puppies on may 18, 2009. i noticed a couple of weeks ago she had an inverted swollen and hard nipple.and when you squeeze it white stuff(not exactly sure what it is)comes out. i tried rubbing it gently with a warm cloth but she wouldn’t let me. i have set an appointment for her in a couple of days but i would like to know what going on with her right now. please help!

Best answer:

Answer by Ekaterin
Set an appointment with a canine oncologist once your regular vet confirms the diagnosis through blood work and x-rays. Your veterinarian will probably suggest someone and perhaps make the arrangements for you. The second vet will examine the lab findings and suggest treatment options. These days, most experts agree surgical removal of the tumor is the most effective treatment for breast cancer in dogs.

Question by 081259: canine oral cancer and bleeding?
my labrador has oral cancer, a huge mass on the left side of her cheek, i havent seen it from the inside but its very visable from the outside. Lately she has been drooling blood and today its very bad. She is licking her front legs and they are blood soaked.. What is causing the bleeding? is it the actual tumor or is she biting her tongue and not feeling it? Shes already been to the vet, theres nothing more we can do for her unfortunately

Best answer:

Answer by Chrys
then do the kind thing and have her put to sleep….the bleeding will continue and might cause her pain she doesn’t show ( animals don’t always show pain like humans..) I’m sorry…( I had to put one of my ferrets to sleep in Feb. I KNOW how hard it is…but remember, she’s been a good fur baby and you’re doing her a favor…trust me.)

A video of pictures of my dog Gromlin who was just diagnosed with Lymphoma

Juno received a surprise delivery of a treat box full of frozen raw bones today, and this is Juno’s video-thank you to her wonderful, generous, big-hearted Boerboel lovin’ friends, the Bevilacquas in NY She worked on this one for about 1.5 hours, took a break, ate some dinner, and then was hitting me up to get it back out again. She’s gnawing herself into a bone-lovin-coma as I type THANK YOU BEVILACQUAS!!! This little Boerboel gal couldn’t get much happier! x0×0x0×0x0x

Question by cal74sb: Supplements for Canine Cancer?
He’s a 15 year old lab mix. Surgery and radiation would be cruel and probably kill him and therefore not an option. As mentioned, he is not in pain. Please don’t suggest euthanasia — it’s not time yet. Thank you.
My dog was diagnosed with lung cancer yesterday. I’m devastated. They gave him less than 2 months. I’ve been trying to do as much research possible in the last 24 hours.

Please, if someone could give me some pointers about how to proceed with supplements. I heard that antioxidants are great, but what kind? I also switched to high protein diet, which he loves

I’m beside myself with grief and I’m afraid I will run out of time to help him. I just want him to stick around a little longer. He is NOT in pain, he’s just tired. I made sure with the vet that he is not suffering.

Thank you for any advice from people who’ve dealt with this.

PS: if you have links to reliable websites, that would be great too. What about that K9 Immunity stuff? Anyone ever used it? I can’t find any studies or reviews on it … thank you.
Yes, we believe it’s metastasized (sp?) from other places. 2 years ago he had IMHA, and then several small tumors (one in the mouth, one on the head, one on the ear) over the last 2 years. All of them were removed. We thought we got all of it… at the time it seemed like it.

I have not consulted with an oncologist, because I thought I only would do that if I wanted treatment for him. I’m new to this.You all have given so much help. Thanks. I think I will go for th eK9 Immunity with a variety of supplements once I get approval of all those from my vet today. Thank you all so much.

Answer by Jessie
I’m so sorry!

I used to sit a dog with cancer. The owner was a microbiologist and she used the whole system from K9 Immunity. I don’t know if it actually helped or not, but it didn’t hurt.

Best of luck to you and your dog.
