Much too expensive.😢

My dog was at least 18 yrs old. Had to put her down due to old age. What pains me is that her veins were not showing at all, therefore she got injected directly in the heart. She made a painful noise and took the last breath. I can’t stop thinking this experience was painful for her and that I did her more harm than good by euthanizing her and I can’t live with myself.

Overvaccinating and bad food is killing our animals.

It was never a problem in early years. Only now all of a sudden every second dog gets cancer

I think the kibble diets is a huge problem. I also lost a beautiful, loving Angel to lyphoma cancer 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

It is a kindness to put an end to their suffering. I loved all my pets, but NEVER let them suffer!

We didn't have this cancer when I was young and they are on a big depopulation agenda so I think I figured it out

I live in Citrus Heights California smart city Sacramento and there's a warning in front of our senior complex for cancer I guess it's because they use pesticides. We need our bugs bees animals us ,we are they doing this? Tax write off kick back..what?

What about the V's or the 5g? Ty

No one wants to pay $1200 to a vet if the dog has weeks to live. They take advantage of people

Apparently we need to call the vet and pay $600 for each symptom

All I hear is call your vet. This could be informative but coming across as hard selling. Can be better presented. 😅

Sadly, this interview did not help at all. And the there really was no answer the question. It was quite vague. I'm assuming the real help is found in the hyperlinks above

Oh my goodness, I cried at minute 48. That's exactly what we did with our puggle almost a year ago. We knew we could have kept him a little longer, but he was already suffering and we refused to let it get any worse for him. I loved when she said she suffered so the dog wouldn't have to because that is exactly it. It's so hard to do but I know he's ok and the others we have said good bye to now.

thank you so much. lost my baby recently. i really needed this.

I’m 65 and I grew up in the country and we had all kinds of animals. Our dogs lived well into their teens and some over 20 years. They didn’t have cancer or other diseases. Something is very wrong with what our animals eat and the vaccinations they are injected with.

I think knowing when to let them go, rather than keeping them around just to make YOU happy is super important… you have to consider the consequences of that for the dog.

My Mindy will be turning 15 in 5 weeks and was total high energy. Last year she lost 85% of body weight, fur and energy. Found a sarcoma between small and large intestines. I changed her food and within a week her energy was back, the next week her weight was starting to come back the next week. Her fur started to grow. I thought we were out of the woods until it flared up just three weeks ago. She started with heavy diarrhea lack of appetite and was in a lot of pain. We took her to the emergency room where they made her comfortable and took an x-ray. Monday I took her to her vet and they did an ultrasound to find that the tumor had doubled in size in this last year. There was a mild infection along with a lot of inflammation. We now have good days and bad days. Sometimes she eats breakfast sometimes she won’t. We’re doing everything we can to calm down this inflammation and hope that she will have a sense of her beautiful spirit come back. I’ve heard oil of oregano can help. Am I at the point where it’s just wishful thinking, or could my dog have another six months of joy?

My dog is blind and too tiny for a halo. She’s around 6 lbs. She’s also deaf and loosing her sense of smell. She sleeps about 22 hours and in diapers. Lily will turn 16 in 5 weeks.

Hello from Bulgaria. I have a 15 old Golden Retriver with a tumor in the spleen and a tumor in the pancreas.Tumors do not bleed. Can i use Yunnan Baiyao as prevention ? Blood counts are perfectly healthy. The dog is in very good physical condition.He eats great !!!

Organize your time

Thank you, made some good points. It is just so sad to think about.

Why don't you discuss dog food pellets is the culprit of cancer.

It would be helpful if you actually shared that diet with us here instead of talking about it for 4 minutes and then telling us to go to that link or buy the book.

Great podcast; want to hear more from JT Doyle

We have broken systems in all areas regarding medical care for animals and people! We should not have these five top devastating diseases in USA 🤯

I just lost Luca, 8 yr. Old GS working dog, assistance aid bc vet said no hope for my dog. Put her down. Now I regret it, listening to this. The system is Broken. Get 3 opinions. DEMAND yearly, early X-ray and blood test and stay clear of Hills science dog food. 😞

Can thiw be used as preventative? My dog was diagnosed with babesia earlier this year but is ok now

⁠-my dog had mass cell cancer too, already had surgery and not on chemo. I was paralysed and not knowing what to do- and just starting to look for alternatives food / diet for her. May I ask for you to share your dog food recipe pls?

Nothing can ever relieve the guilt because it is a moral issue... not a rational one. Rationalizing euthanasia because you "love" them is still an excuse. That's why the guilt is still there. A beating heart deserves to beat as long as it wants it. Don't kill "man's best friend" as it's like stabbing them in the back with a death needle. The reason why we feel guilt for stopping a heart and ending a life is because it is a moral issue... a moral conflict and our conscience is aware we are betraying that part of us that says "this is wrong". Don't betray yourselves and your pet because you think you can read a pets mind and what they want. When they are looking into your eyes they are longing to be close and have company and love and comfort. That is what love is... witnessing and being with others. Not taking lives. Death is natural as natural as birth. If they made it into the world they will be able to make it out, as you will do the same someday.

Euthanasia feels to me like a break in trust that my dog has for me

Palladia provided a temporary remission on grade 2 Mast cell cancer. Diagnosed in may, by mid september it stopped working. Steroids are my drug of choice for mast cell cancer. Just started my young baby on steroids and vinblastine. This whole thing is unfair.

I keep ON watching this over ang over again

Why are you okay with canola oil for dogs? It is a rancid oil.

I lost my dog a few months ago and I did see some of these signs. Unfortunately my dog was at the vet twice in six months and told me nothing was wrong ..Wasn’t happy

My border collie has been diagnosed with cancer, curious how long to continue giving this to him? Gave 1st dose of 3 today. Give until see internal progress possibly?

What is the current status of this vaccine? Is it available for vaccination?

This was recorded 4 years ago. I wonder how much of what was said here has changed.

Dear Dr Silver. My 13 yr old has just been diagnosed with hamangiosarcoma and had spleenectomy same week 2 weeks ago. We are not keen to start chemotherapy as he also has EPI diagnosed at the same time. I am desperate to start the Turkey tail and Reishi mushroom extracts. I am in UK and I cannot find the one shown above. when googled there are so many selling it that I don't want to gamble on if not the real ones or scam. Please Please advice urgently where to buy? Thank you ever so much.

Hello Dr Duffy, my dog was just diagnosed with mammary cancer. Multiple pulmonary nodules and large masses on the lower belly. My local oncologist said she is at Stage 4. She said an option to try Palladia. What are your thoughts?

Hello Dr. Silver, Would you recommend that we purchase mushrooms that are sourced in North America than in China? Also, do you have a brand you recommend mushroom supplements for dogs?

watching this as interested in the loop for my dog who has s4 carcinomas just about everywhere. I have been supporting her with diet and mushroom therapy. Was really interested in the comment about SA. As a behaviourist this is one of the more common issues, and Lincoln Uni (i think but it might have been Bristol) in the UK have found that many dogs with SA also have pain somewhere in their bodies.

My girl (King Charles Cavalier spaniel, age 7) has squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil. She had both tonsils removed June 13th along with her palate shortened. Follow up visit July 25th with an oncologist. During that visit they aspirated her lymph nodes and found epithelial cells. Prognosis poor. However, she is doing great. If you didn’t know it, you wouldn’t suspect she has cancer. Excellent appetite. Enjoying her walks and life in general. The only thing I’ve done is added turkey tail mushroom capsules, another mushroom blend: 5 defenders, and about 1/8 tsp manuka honey daily. She also is 90 percent on a home cooked diet. I know it’s not a cure, and that she is “terminal” but do any dogs ever miraculously get cured??

If they won't eat, offer a warm grilled steak. Mine was terminal and she just couldn't resist it. I'm glad she was a part of my life and family.

No! Nationwide Pet Insurance is a scam. We had our policy for 6 years and they suddenly increased our rate to $900 per month! Our dog is healthy and has never needed major medical care. When I called Nationwide to see if this was a mistake, they just told me that their expenses have gone up. Their expenses have gone up so much they have to charge $900 per month for a healthy dog?! That’s more than my husband and I pay for ours! I looked them up and Nationwide just made record profits and their CEO makes a ludicrous salary. This was vicious of them to do to their customers and should be illegal. They are not on your side and they don’t care about your pets. They just want to take your money for years and then drop you before you ever really need a return on your investment.

Thank you for this message.. It meant so much ❤ My gorgeous baby has a growth which was tested and found to be a spindle cell cancer on his back leg . So instead of going ahead with the recommended surgery which would have probably resulted in an incomplete removal due to lack of available clean margins..therefore needing amputation to prevent metastasis, I asked for a specialist scan of his body. He has another mass in his liver 😢 So now we are not going forward with the surgery. I don't want to put him through the anaesthesia or the very possible amputation.. he's a big guy (husky/collie) and he loves to run and the loss of a limb would be devastating for him. He seems to be coping well for now and isn't showing any major signs of distress such as sickness or diarrhoea or lack of appetite etc so for now we are watching and waiting and continue in giving him his best life. He is my life and my ❤ dog and I will never have another and I want to give him the best so your message meant a lot to me in that it DID give the information that your Vet just doesn't say. It will help a lot when making that decision between him, myself and his Dad that the time is right. Because I believe he will tell me when he's ready. For now, he's still fit and relatively healthy and every day is a great day with him in our lives. ❤
