Dear Friend,
Sorry to hear of the cancer in your beloved Gracie May.
When Benny had cancer I fed him the CANINE LIFE cancer formula diet which was rich in antioxidants and many other good things and to it I added steamed broccoli, or steamed spinach etc. I did steam the vegetables before adding them to the muffins. This is their website which you may like to investigate:
Canine Cancer: Nutrition and Diet Can be Key
They ship the muffins all over North America.
You can buy the dry mix and add the other ingredients and make your own or the muffins can be made, frozen and you purchase them from a Pet store or they can be shipped directly to you. I bought frozen ones for Benny at Bark & Fitz ( our local pet store.) i warmed them slightly in the microwave and meal time was enjoyable!
I would talk over supplements with your vets. Benny took a daily wild salmon oil capsules, Artemisinin (can be used along with chemo, but not with radiation), Co Enzyme Q 10, Quercetin, Essiac capsules, Chinese herbs etc.( all of which were served in a bit of liverwurst which he loved.)
Your
"organic diet for Gracie is the BEST" Keep feeding organic foods to Gracie.
Benny got only organic ingredients added to his muffins. He loved his food right to the last day of his life. sometimes I would cook chicken breast in a bit of cold pressed olive oil or safflower oil and add a bit of turmeric and add this to his meal.
Benny took prednisone in the last couple of months of his life and one of the tumours shrunk. Others have had really good luck with prednisone shrinking the tumours. Discuss this with your vets also.
My prayers go out to you.
Everyone here cares so much and there is a wealth of information.
I KNOW Gracie is the best dog ever. We all feel that way about these wonderful companions. This is all so TOUGH!
Good luck to Gracie with the upcoming surgery and give her a big hug from me.
God Bless you both.
Blessings,
Joanne & Shadow
