My lab has been on CAS options for 45 days along with a change to a grain free diet, fish oil and pain meds. She has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma and we have decided not to amputate or do chemo. We have an integrative vet who does both eastern & western treatment depending upon what makes the most sense to keep her comfortable. I am not sure if all of this is working, but so far her quality of life continues to be good.
As an aside, if you feed fish oil for omega 3, make sure to read the label. For some reason manufacturers have been adding omega 6 which is not good. Omega 3 is an anti-inflamatory while Omega 6 is an inflamatory. Our diets and our dog's diets have an over-abundance of Omega 6, so supplementing it is not necessary. My opinion is that since it is plant derived that it is probably a less expensive ingredient than fish oil so they add it and consumers think it is a good deal to get both, but it is not.
