DanishPastry Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm really sorry, it's so unfair isn't it. I hope your vet can help Rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReikiAnge Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm so sorry I don't, thankfully, have any experience, but would be happy to send Reiki healing to him - and put a request on the Reiki lists I am on too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack-Sparrows-girl Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 That would be lovely hun, thankyou so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReikiAnge Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 If you have a chance to post a photo of him that would be useful (but not essential) There's also a Reiki thread in the Health section on here (in the training/behaviour section) if you wanted to put a request on there. Have you thought about seeing a homeopathic/holistic vet alongside your usual one, to see if they can make any suggestions to help him through this?

Ian Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm sorry to read that you & Rosco must face this. It wasn't leukemia but I lost one of my own German Shepherds to cancer & found various cancer sites. You may find something helpful in one of these. Good luck http://www.animalcancertrust.org.uk/Links/..._of_cancer.html http://www.petcancer.co.uk/ http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2002-0...er-cancer_x.htm http://www.vetspecialists.co.uk/06_Animal_Welfare/index.html http://www.cancerfightingstrategies.com/?e...amp;match_type= http://www.giveusahome.com/articles/supplement.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lainey Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have experienced Acute Leukaemia with a dog of mine in may last year, she was 5 yrs old They gave me an initial diagnosis of leukaemia, so i researched it. I found this article and knew it was the acute and not the chronic that she had. http://inpractice.bvapublications.com/cgi/...int/28/1/22.pdf Do you know which type Rosco has? I would be happy for you to pm me if you would like to chat about it, i don't have experience with chronic leukaemia though but i fully understand what it is you are going through and offer my 'virtual' shoulder to you if you need it.

Careli Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Oh no! I am so sorry. Definately try and see a Homeopathic Vet. There is so much that can be done to support him through this. Take care. Reiki Heling being sent to Rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack-Sparrows-girl Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thankyou for the links and support. I will know much more on friday after he has been in for the day and had his x-rays and further tests to see exactly how far it has gone, Rosco was given a jab at the vets and steroids for this week to see if he perks up on them, i was told if he didn't perk up with them then he has a few months left but if he showed good signs then possibly a year or more, he has perked up a bit since the jab and steroids and he has eaten a little too which is a great sign. I'll update you on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
