My 5 year old Chloe has a softball sized tumor on her liver. She had a horrible seizure so I took her to the vet and he found the huge thing with an x-ray. One month later I took her back to see if there's any change,hopefully for the good...no, the vet gave me the talk and now I'm so distraught knowing there's nothing I can do but pray that she won't be in pain at the very end. I hope my selfishness at wanting to keep her here doesn't interfere with her quality of life. She eats, plays and is happy so for now I am trying to wrap my head around the fact that my young dog will not live to a ripe old age. I've had lots of pets in my lifetime and I've loved them dearly but something about this one.....I never had a dog that liked to hug me and that's what she does when I walk in the door. She hugs me before doing anything else. My heart is breaking. How can something look so happy and be so sick?

I lost my beautiful Jordan yesterday. I feel so empty inside. I took him to the vet only a little over a week ago and that is when he told me. I did not realize he was sick or I would have done anything in my power to heal him. By the time they discovered it, the tumor had grown very large and spread to his lymph nodes. They said they could not operate, and that even chemotherapy would not help. The vet kept saying he was in pain and he had lost a lot of weight. I didn't realize because he had a big belly because of the tumor. He was very weak but he still would wag his tail for me. I miss him so much; I feel like someone punched me in the stomach. I know he is in heaven with my Dad who loves dogs. Please pray for my Jordy. Life will never ever be the same without him.

Please pray for my dog Sampson. He has a biopsy on Wednesday morning at 9:00 to determine if he has bone cancer. I understand from my vet that if he does amputation will probably be the only option. I am praying for a miracle and please pray with me because he is like a part of my soul!

Please pray for our Jack. He had a three pound tumor which resulted in a splenetomy the end of January. He recovered nicely after the surgery, but recently took a turn for the worse. Jack has not eat in the last two days. He is still drinking. We love him more than anything!

Lunta has a tumor on his hind leg, near his knee. Biopsy was inconclusive, but Osteosarcoma is suspected. Lunta's lungs and liver seem okay. Treatmentwise, we are trying to decide whether to amputate or not. Please pray for us.

He is 12 yeas old and such a GREAT boy. He is our baby. During the ten months of treatment has gotten stronger and stronger but this week he has gotten progressively weaker. The vet specialist has asked if his heart stops should he be restarted. I can't go there. Please pray for our lovely boy! We need him as does us. Thank you all.

Please pray for my dog Jake. Jake has been my baby since he was a young pup. At 4 months old he was literally at deaths door with Parvo. We managed to save him (without hospitalization) despite the doctors telling me there was no hope and to put him down. Jake is now 9 years old.I took him to the vet on Monday because he was having trouble breathing. They did a chest x-ray, told me it was lung cancer and my world fell apart. According to the vet my only option is to make him comfortable and put him down when he declines. He is still acting normal other than the breathing. The Vet gave him 2 days to a few months to live. After asking for help to ease his symptoms, they put him on a bronchialdialator to help him breath and a steroid. I am starting him on Dr. Ogilvie's diet tomorrow, and I am frantically trying to find the key to beat this. Please pray for Jake. Pray that I find the way to help him.... my heart is his.

Heidi was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma on Jan 30 of this year at only 16 months old. We chose not to amputate or undergo chemo, as they told us it would only extend her life by a couple of months. After finding this site, we started her on Essiac Tea 3x a day, and today she is going in to have her leg removed, as the repeat X-rays showed no signs of metastasis, and the tumor is so massive that we have no choice. Please pray for her safe recovery from surgery and that she somehow miraculously stays tumor-free after this! Thanks so much!!
