What a great idea Stony Plain dog groomers! Bless them for doing this.
Cancer is very common, both in animals and humans. Some cancers are easily treatable (though not necessarily cheap!) And some remain a mystery.
I would very much like to hear of advancements in the research for Hemangiosarcoma -a cancer of the blood vessels almost exclusively in dogs. It is a cancer with generally a very poor prognosis once it is diagnosed. Standard chemotherapy usually doesn't get it but can give a dog just a little extra time.There is some anecdotal evidence that alternative treatments, such as Yunnan Baiyao appear to give dogs a little more time -but it is still a lottery.
I keep an eye on developments but never hear any groundbreaking news.
But it is good to hear there is financial help available for those whose animals are suffering from cancer.
