All About Radiation for Dogs | Jenny Fisher

What's your attitude to using antioxidants from the food (mushrooms like reisha) while radio and chemo? Can it do bad?

[@DogCancer]

It could, but isn't necessarily likely depending upon the case -- In general, radiation is increasing oxidation to kill cancer cells, and so giving antioxidants at the same time above dietary levels might reduce oxidation, making radiation less effective. But your dog's body still needs SOME antioxidants, and giving foods is a generally good way to do that. But this can be a delicate balance and no one ever really knows exactly how things are working in any individual dog's body. The very best answer is to check with your veterinarian about your dog's own case and how to time giving antioxidant rich food and/or supplements.
