        Just got back from our vet. Last night I noticed my Black lab (11 yrs) was having trouble breathing. Got her to the vet today and they took radiographs. Apparently she has hundreds of tiny tumors in her lungs, The Xrays looked like a blizzard in her lungs. The Dr. put her on Steroids. I asked about any herbals that might help her, and the vet is not at all familiar with an herbal approach for animals. She did say if I could get some tumeric in her it might help with inflammation. Ok, I have some reay made tincture because I also take it. Is there anything else that I can do for her to help prolong her life with us? Or rather help the quality of her life? The vet told me probably 1-2 months.. maybe 6 on the outside if all the planets align…

        Not sure where it metastisized from, She has a non cangerous growth in her anal sac. They did a biopsy4 months ago and said it was benign and has not grown.  Any suggestions for her comfort for the next couple weeks/months much appreciated.

          Karen, I’m so sorry to see that you never got any answers about your poor lab.  I hope that her time with you at the end was peaceful and not painful.  I lost my 17 year old kitty to bladder cancer shortly before I started this course.  So hard to loose our furbabies.  I’m sorry for your baby.
