Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hello… I need some help FAST…. I have a dog that started to lose his voice after he ate a chicken bone. Took him to the vet to make sure the bone was not lodged in his throat. IT was not. The Vet also told me that it was also a good sign that there were NO MASSES in his throat, which could have nothing to do with the chicken bone, but an underlying condition that could have caused him to lose his voice (he can't bark within two weeks he lost his voice)… So as the voice got worse I called the vet back and was told that maybe he had a mass or growth. I said, " I thought that was why you took the x-ray and you said it ruled that out? " The vet then back stepped and said " well something's just don't show up on an x-ray. " To make along story short, I took him to another vet for a second opinion. He said after examining him that he thought he " felt " a growth. He also took x-rays to confirm but saw nothing on the set he took, but thought he had seen something in the shadow on the other vets x-ray. So he took blood work etc… SO, there may or may not be a growth, but if there is I have done reading in the EODR for tumors (whether cancerous or not) BY THE WAY THIS ONE IS INOPERABLE.. It is behind his larynx and cannot be surgically removed safely. The alternative is letting the dog suffocate to death if it is in fact a tumor or " mass " as they are calling it. OR to put him down now, when he is healthy in every other way. He acts like he has always acted, runs, plays, eats, drinks with no problem… just NO VOICE to bark. When looking up tumors it talks about Frankincense and Clove, Lavender and a couple others… BUT, they all say to TOPICALLY APPLY TO TUMOR… Well this tumor is not accessible to apply the oils TOPICALLY. How do I treat these issues? ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated and would like to get the input asap… It MAY OR MAY NOT BE A GROWTH, but no one seems to know why he would have lost his voice. Both vets at this point feel the chicken bone had nothing to do with it, that it was just a coincidence that he lost his voice around the same time. I am open to suggestions. But he must be treated aggressively if this " mass " is in fact there and growing to cause him to stop barking within 2 weeks, or if you have heard of this happening to anyone else or have had experience with this and it was caused by something else I am open to that as well. I do not know the results of the blood work that was done yesterday. So I can't give you any info on that at this time.. PLEASE help if you can. I would be very grateful. This dog is my companion dog and my protector. He warns me with his bark when someone is at the door, and other situations.. Without his bark he cannot do that.. AT least right now he can't. I do not want to put a dog " down " if the vets cannot determine that he does in fact have this mass that will suffocate him. But, I also do not want him to suffer. I could not stand to see him gasp for air and not breathe. That would be inhumane. It's just hard to look at him playing, running around, he's alert; he eats, drinks and does everything else normally. He is only 6 or 7 years old.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hi Gail, It sounds like you are really worried, I would let the vet deciede what to do, If it is a tumor then do they have any treatments to offer you? Maybe he just scratched his voice box while the bone went down and it will take some time to heal. I would not let him bark to see if it heals. Let us know what the final diagnosis is. gb0949 <gb0949NewsLtrs wrote: Hello… I need some help FAST…. I have a dog that started to lose his voice after he ate a chicken bone.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 If this problem is indeed a mass or tumour I would suggest you look into the use of Black Salve. I know of many people who have had great success using this to treat cancer, etc. There is even a for Black Salve and pets so Im sure if you google'd Black Salve you'd find it. Good luck with your furbaby, Lyndall ---- Debra Martin 7/10/2007 12:50:32 AM Re: HELP needed for dog I am open to suggestions.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 This is tough, Gail; you have my sympathy. To start, be very careful what you do. Vets can be wrong or the vet can be right, and there still are many ways to go about treatment. I treated my cat's suspicious lump with homeopathy. Years later, she is doing well. I had a dog diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Broke my heart, but we did the meds, curtailed his activity and spent money and worried. Heard great things about another vet, decided to have him check him out. My dog doesn't have congestive heart failure whatsoever. You might want to join a specific pet health group who can advise you better, step by step. I belong to Wellpet, which also is a group. Not a lot of activity, but there are great and knowledgable people there. I swear we just had a discussion there about a dog who lost his voice there anyhow.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Gail, So sorry you're going through this. You could also try posting at Holistic & Alternative Veterinary Forum http://www.extendedyears.com/holistic/holistic.html but if I were in your shoes I would try to find a Holistic Vet in my area. I often go to http://abchomeopathy.com/ as well (for people). Did BOTH the vets say it is inoperable? Just a 'feeling' I have is I guess I'm a little skeptical that it is inoperable...Liz , " gb0949 " <gb0949NewsLtrs wrote: > > Hello… > I need some help FAST….

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi Gail,I'm not a vet,so the only thing I can tell you is what worked for me. I had 2 German Shepard show dogs. My baby girl came down with cancer tumors in her throat. I talked to the vet and they wanted to remove them with surgery.She was only 9 years old and I thought about doing that. The vet then went on to say that there was no guarantee that they wouldn't come back. Long story short. I started to give her doses of ESIAC TEA,twice a day. The brand is by NOW and can be purchased in any health food store. I got a plastic syringe with no needle and filled it half way up with the tea(not diluted) and shot it down her throat twice a day after feeding her. The tumor was a little smaller then the size of a golf ball. Within 2 weeks the tumor had shrunk down to the size of a pea! God as my witness,it worked. I know what your going through because she is the only thing in my life . Please try it,you have nothing to loose and everything to gain. I took her back to the vet about a month later and the vet was amazed and had nothing to say but that if it worked keep doing it for there was no further harm to the dog!......Another good idea is to start her on BIOALGAE,by optimum choices,go to the web site and read what it can do. I have her on a raw food diet and give her bioalgae twice a day and she is a healthy 13 year old dog.....Please give it a try,God speed...Rick ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 The black salve is for external tumors only. They use to make a pill that had the same ingredients as the black salve, that you could swallow. But the black salve was for external use only, and you had to be very careful with it as it could eat a big hole in the skin. The salve went down as far as necessary to get all the " roots " so could do a lot of damage and create a lot of pain. The salve itself, and the pills, were taken off the market by the FDA. You can sometimes find people making the salve but you need to know what they make it out of and know that they are using the correct herbs Samala, Renee ---- If this problem is indeed a mass or tumour I would suggest you look into the use of Black Salve. I know of many people who have had great success using this to treat cancer, etc. There is even a for Black Salve and pets so Im sure if you google'd Black Salve you'd find it.

I would try to give the dog a tablespoon of " cold pressed " extra virgin coconut oil several times a day. I take evco myself, and I've read that it has the ability to shrink tumors.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi Gail, I completely understand your concern for your dog. I recently lost my dog to aggressive cancer/tumors. Here's what I learned in my efforts to help him: First of all - do not stop looking for answers and vets that can give them to you! I found that many vets (just like allopathic doctors) don't fully realize that some people educate themselves about their pets' issues and conditions. I had to see 3 different vets before I found one that could tell me what I already knew about my dog. If you have to go to 10 different vets, do it. If you can find a holistic vet - that would be best. Also, you may want to consider a specialist (they're usually not much more expensive than a regular vet.) You can search for a specialist at this website: http://www.acvim.org/specialist/search.aspx That's the website for the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. I found a fantastic specialist through them! They may suggest doing an ultrasound - that is a much better way to locate a possible tumor than an x-ray. If you do schedule an ultrasound, you might want to insist on being there with your dog when they do it. I made the mistake of not being with my dog for his ultrasound, and it ended up being extremely traumatic for him. So much so, that he had to be carried into the vet's office every time after that. (And he weighed 60 pounds!) I'm not saying that will happen to your pet, but it can be very stressful for the pet. If there is a tumor, it's best to put your dog on a cancer diet. Cancer thrives on carbs, so a high protein, organic diet would be the best thing. (But switch over to the new food very slowly. Most pets aren't used to high protein in their food, and there may be some digestive issues at first.) I changed to high protein, home cooked food for my dog (I got the recipe from my holistic vet), and I really believe that that helped him survive longer. The other vets thought he was on his death bed, and he went on for 3 more months, eating, playing, rolling in the grass and wagging his tail until the day he died. You can search online for home cooked and cancer diets for pets. Even check Amazon.com. Resources are not difficult to find. My holistic vet also put my dog on Chinese herbs, fish oil (highly recommended for pets with cancer), and a daily vitamin. The best advice I can give you is to NOT GIVE UP! Research online, seek out answers and vets that are willing to work with you in saving your dog and keeping his quality of life the best it can be. Here are a couple other websites that I found very valuable. Dog Cancer Information Forum http://www.dogcancer.net/forum/ Integrative Treatment of Cancer in Dogs http://neuro.vetmed.ufl.edu/neuro/AltMed/Cancer/Cancer_AltMed.htm GOOD LUCK, GOOD HEALTH AND BRIGHT BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR COMPANION!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi. I'm the one that wrote with the honey and slippery elm recipe. Apparently that did not help. It wouldn't help much if it is a mass that is causing the trouble.. There are a number of things you can do--the same as you would do with a human that had an internal tumor. First you need to get the dog on some good food--some raw meat if he will eat it, if not then some home made food using mostly meat. I can tell you more about this if you are interested. Then you need to clean the blood as this will take care of any tumors. Again, there are several ways to do this. I just had a message on another list about a greyhound that had terminal cancer and was saved by doing the Budwig diet, which is cottage cheese and flax seed oil. A Google search will bring you LOTS of info. The trouble will be sorting through it all. Anyway, this dog was so weak it couldn't even eat. His owner forced spoonfuls down every day and within 2 weeks the dog is eating, playing and acting like its normal self. There is an herb formula I have here that I can send you. You make it into a strong water elixer, which is simple to do. It's terribly bitter so you have to hide it in the dogs food, but they seem to do great on it. The lady that has figured out the dosage and the herbs has saved many dogs from cancer. And, I have just been making up some MMS--which stands for Miracle Mineral Supplement. It's an amazing product that actually has been used for over a hundred years in hospitals to kill pathogens on surfaces, but the gentleman, Jim Humble, has learned how to make and use it internally for every type of pathogen known--it kills viruses, parasites, fungus, bacteria. Anything that is NOT suppose to be in your body. You can read about it at www.miraclemineral.org Some of us were so impressed with what it does that a was started for it. We have only been online now for a bit over a month and the word of MMS is spreading so quickly we already have over 300 members. Although people have only been using it for a few weeks we have seen some remarkable stuff happening. Mostly, naturally, it has been used on people, but one lady has racing pigeons and she has one that she's been battling an infection in it that she hasn't been able to cure, and within less than 4 days of taking MMS her pigeon doesn't have the infection anymore! It's a simple thing to mix up and give to your dog. Dogs take it much better than cats. I have both dogs and cats and give it to them. Some of the cats I have to put it into a needleless syringe and give it to them that way, but some others (and the dogs) I can just hide it in their food. To make up the herbs formula you'd add water, let it simmer for some hours, then you freeze it and just before frozen you pour off the tincture. What is left is the water that was in the tea. You do this a few times (which actually only takes a day, 2 at the most) which intensifies the tea into an elixir. Then you can try hiding it in his food, or you can just pour some every day down his throat. With the MMS it will come already in a liquid form. You will use x number of drops, add x number of drops of regular vinegar, let it sit 3 minutes, then put it in his food or a bit of liquid he will drink, like milk or broth or even water. Both are powerful. Both kill off pathogens that cause tumors and/or cancer. Truthfully--even though I'm a self-taught herbalist, I know that the MMS works MUCH faster than the herbs. It wouldn't hurt to use both, but the MMS will get to the situation fast. The herbs take longer. They won't interfere with each other. I can supply you with both the herbs and/or the MMS if you want to try either one. Or you can order the herbs yourself, and there are some other suppliers of MMS if you look around.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 One comment on using aromatherapy....DO NOT put any essential oil in his mouth or throat, keep it all away from his eyes and mucous membranes, and any time you may be using it be sure to dilute it in an edible oil since you are using it on a pet. One drop of essential oil goes a long way. It is very very potent if it is a good quality oil. Good luck. , " gb0949 " <gb0949NewsLtrs wrote: > > Hello… > I need some help FAST….
