Answer by Panda
Unfortunately, there is no cure for cancer . . but there is treatment that can lead to an individual cure. Your brother has been in remission for 2 and a half years, the longer he is in remission the more likely the cancer is gone . . but no one can guarantee that it is gone. It only takes one loose cancer cell to start up a whole new tumor and this disease can lay dormant for an undetermined amount of time. So . . the good news is that your brother is in remission and alive and well today . . that is all any of us can really count on anyway. The longer your brother stays in remission the better chance he has that the cancer is gone. And, yes, there are osteosarcoma survivors. You may wish to join a support group where you may be able to locate resources and ask questions from others dealing with this type of cancer:

Question by go-go: Skin problems in dogs?
My dog has skin problems and ive tried everything. I stopped giving him human food and cheap dog food and switched him over to blue wilderness the salmon kind. Its a good dog food and i just bought him it today but i dont really think its going to help his skin problems. I went to the vet and all he said was its probably the food hes eating try to find out what hes allergic too. I thought maybe it was the grains and corn in the cheap dog food so i switched over today. Do you think it will help and if so how long until i see results? Hes always rubbing his face on the floor and biting at his paws and inside his legs. Hes a white pitbull and his skin looks like this but alot more red and irritated. Hes always getting ear infections also.

Cant the vet get some testing done to pinpoint what hes allergic too? If so how much will all this cost? I live in Canada and i just spent 8 grand on my other dog because he had lymphoma cancer. I also cleaned my house like crazy.

BACTERIAL SKIN INFECTIONS (PYODERMAS)

Causes
- Staphylococci (‘Staph bacteria’) are the most common organisms found in bacterial skin diseases (pyoderma’s) in dogs. Fortunately, these bacteria (S. intermedius) are not contagious to humans or other pets.

Signs
- Commonly itchy, yellow pustules are often observed early in the disease, and the dog’s skin can be reddened and ulcerated. Dry, crusted areas appear as the condition advances, along with loss of hair in the affected areas (lesions) and an odour.

All areas of a dog’s body may be involved, but most cases are confined to the trunk. The chin is one area commonly affected. Called chin acne, this condition is actually a deep bacterial infection. Obese dogs and dogs of the pug-nosed breeds are frequently affected by pyoderma in the skin folds on their face, lips and vulva.

Other areas where pyoderma may occur include between the toes and on the calluses of the elbows that mostly affects the abdominal area in young puppies.

Diagnosis
- This is usually made from the case history and appearance and location of the lesions. In some cases, it may be necessary to culture the skin (grow the bacteria) and conduct sensitivity tests to determine which antibiotic will be effective in treatment. Most bacterial skin infections in dogs are secondary to another disease such as parasitism, allergies, endocrine (hormonal) disorders or abnormalities in the immune system. Therefore, in recurrent cases, it is important to search for underlying causes. It may be necessary to do blood tests, allergy tests or skin biopsies to achieve a complete diagnosis.

Treatment
- Initial treatments may entail removal of the hair in and around the lesions, washing of the whole dog with antibiotic shampoos such as benzoyl peroxide, careful drying and the application of an antibiotic ointment to local lesions, in most cases, antibiotics will also be administered orally for 3-4 weeks. Bandages or a protective collar which prevents the dog from mutilating the lesions may be applied.
Some pyoderma involving skin folds can require corrective surgery. In recurrent cases where testing reveals no definable underlying cause, special staphylococcal vaccines as an alternative to long-term antibiotic treatment can be tried.

It may be necessary to continue treatments such as antiseptic shampooing, antibiotic ointment applications and giving antibiotics orally at home. While most cases respond to treatment, recurrences of pyoderma are common, particularly if treatment recommendations and follow-up visits to your veterinarian are neglected. Glucocorticoid steroids cannot be administered.

Fungal Skin Infections (Ringworm)

Cause
- The fungal skin infections of dogs are caused primarily be two species of fungi: Microsporum and Trichophyton. The skin diseases resulting from these fungi are commonly called ‘ringworm.’

Signs
- Ringworm is seen most commonly in young dogs. The fungi live in dead skin tissues, hairs and nails. Hair loss, usually in circular patches, may appear. If infected, the center of the patches may have a dry, crusty appearance. The head and legs are most commonly affected by ringworm, although the disease may spread over other parts of the dog’s body if not treated. Dogs may scratch the lesions.

Diagnosis
- The appearance of the lesions, the history of their development and the age of the dog are all helpful in diagnosing ringworm. A Wood’s Lamp Test (ultraviolet light) can be used to help diagnose the Microsporum species only. A definite diagnosis can be obtained through a fungal culture — grow the fungi found on the affected hairs.

Treatment
- The hair around the lesions is clipped, and special fungicidal shampoos or rinses are used for bathing the dog. Topical lime sulfur and mandatory systemics should be administered.

Public Health Aspects of Ringworm – Ringworm is contagious to humans, particularly to children and to other household pets. Infected dogs should be kept away from children and other dogs and cats until the infection is cures — which can be as long as 2-3 months or more after the treatment begins. Adults should be careful to wash their hands thoroughly after handling an infected dog. If treated early, ringworm is readily controlled in humans. Other household pets should also be examined for ringworm.

This is a video of my dog Simon being put down. I recorded all of this today, July 30th 2007, and kept it for personal reasons. It was uploaded to youtube so people can witness what putting a dog down is like. My name is Ethan, I’m from Cincinnati and I recorded this with a Motorola KRZR K1 on medium. —————————————- —————————————- —————————————- FAQ: Written May 5th 08 Q: Why was he put down? A: He was put down due to bone cancer, bone inflammation, brittle bone in front right leg (caused by cancer), and heart conditions due to spread of cancer. I didn’t want to put him down if he had a good amount of time left. However, due to very high amounts of pain and yelping and the fact that every vet I inquired said the same thing (that he has less than 2 weeks) I decided to put him down to stop the suffering. Q: How old was he? A: 8, would have turned 9 in less than a month. Q: Where was he put down? A: Somewhere in KY but its been too long so I don’t remember the place. Q: What happened to his body? A: We had him cremated and he is currently in my room inside a nice hand crafted wooden box. I wanted it so I would never forget him. Even after having it this long I still say it was well worth the 0 price tag. Better than burying him in the ground. Q: Why on YouTube?! Its very disturbing! A: Yeah, no shit. But it was put here for a good reason. Many people loved their dog like I did but didn’t get the …

Question by Oreo Dog’s Mom: Anything that WORKS to calm down a dog?
Hello… I’ll try to sum up the issue, but bare with me! Nine year old Aussie, just had a mast cell cancerous tumor removed. She appears to being doing just fine. I have her on supplements and a homemade diet.

Since she was a puppy she has always been a bit shy, quiet and afraid of really loud noises… gun shots, thunderstorm, fireworks etc. We moved into a new house and she seemed to be adjusting just fine… then as it turned to fall, it got colder. Of course, the furnace started coming on to heat the house. It really doesn’t make that much noise, even the dog trainer that came to the house didn’t hear it. So we are doing some behavioral techniques to get her over her fear.

However, I would like to give her something to calm her down until she gets over the fear of the furnace… it is awful she paces, pants and shakes. I tried an Herbal Supplement that my vet recommended used the highest maximum dose and still did not notice any difference…. it was called Composure. Also, she seems to be becoming more fearful of things that she has never been afraid of… just a couple days ago we took her in the car, we take her in the car EVERYWHERE, because she can’t be left with the furnace by herself. Anyway, she started digging at the back corner of the SUV then stuck her head in the corner where she had been digging. That is where she stayed… wouldn’t move when I called her, completely ignored me.

I don’t want her fears to keep expanding… anyone have any good supplements and/or ideas of what to do?

10 points for best answer!
We did have a professional… you can only fix one thing at a time. I realize what dogs are sensitive to and what my dog is sensitive to especially.

I am looking for something that YOU have had a good experience with that has helped your dog calm their nerves.

RIP Jake, he had to be put down at the age of 10 due to bone cancer in the left shoulder on 9/17/10. This is very very good for Mackenzie! She did so amazing!! The second jump in the combination is the same height as her highest jump (1.10m). I am not sure if you notice or not, but at the end when they are jumping over the running water, they are actually jumping the water itself XD
