So, we bought this cancer medicine from Canada from http://www.petwellbeing.com/ called ES CLEAR. Then we bought the ADULT brand of the Milk bones specially designed for older dogs.

Well, she's been taken the medicine for a week now. Her tumor has reduced, based entirely on the amount of snot coming out her nose. I know it's gross, but Jean would send me an email because I can't spell "solely"

Anyway, Sunday we realized she acts like she hasn't slept in days because of her breathing. The tumor is on the roof of her mouth and pressing the sinus. Pretty much making her breathing as difficult as mine. If you don't know me personally, I always sound like I have a cold. I don't, i'm allergic to cats and Luz has MANY of them!!

On Sunday we got her a cake! Her birthday is April 16th. Based upon Sunday's performance.

Well, Monday, she slept like a rock, found her way into a bedroom. The medicine and cookies kicked in. So on Monday night she ate her favorite Fried shrimp, cheeseburgers and I was a little strict, I didn't make shrimp eggrolls!

SO she begged and begged and begged. She got fried shrimp.

Now we have our dog back! Man is she picky!!

Bad news for Krystal

high malignant melanoma invasion is what Krystal has. Bad news for us and her. We'll try some homopathic therapy on her. Keep her in her prayers.

Krystal - day ?

Well, she had a blood test. Krystal's pretty healthy except for a low/normal thyroid count. But they did a biopsy of the growth today and we'll find out early next week. The vet's hesitate to call it cancer but they've propared us for the worst.

Tonight she's a little groggy having had surgery today to remove a sample from her palette and except for eating she's still hanging in there!

Our oldest baby.

While several of our customers and others are taking care of their aging parents, we've been lucky to have Krystal for almost 13 years. In April she will turn 13.

We had another scare last week, the vet suggested she had a tumor on her palette. As a precaution, he gave her some antibiotics and yesterday we thought she wasn't getting any better when we brought he back to the vet. On Sunday all she did was sleep and seemed confused and wouldn't eat.

This time we had a surgeon look at it and after 10 days of antibiotics, to her, it looks like it's an ulcerated ulcer or infection and not cancerous. We had prepared ourselves to have her put to sleep, but she's home and ate like a teenager last night. Sandwich steaks, shrimp, scallops, eggs and cheese. How do you get your 140# baby to eat her medicine? Guess she was tired of fried eggs and cheese.

On Thursday am, we have a follow up visit to get the results of her blood work. I'll keep you posted!
