It is important to understand what causes cancer first before looking at the prevention.
Three of the biggest myths relating to cancer in pets are as follows:
Mistake #1: Vaccines – Given Every Year
Pet owners are advised to give vaccines to their pets on a yearly basis. It is these same vaccines that contribute to pets getting cancer.
Mistake #2: Diet – An All-In-One “Complete Veterinary Food”
The “Bright Minds” in the pet food industry have created unwell pets, producing increasing incidences of diabetes, cancer and allergies.
Unnatural preservatives play a major role in causing cancer. Pets must be fed healthy, homemade food to stay well.
Mistake #3: Conventional Medication -
Conventional veterinary medication plays a role in damaging organs, making them susceptible to cancer.

Hi, my puppy bianca ate just a piece of crab’s shell accidentally a week
ago.Two days ago she suffered from diarrhea and starting to get weaker,we let

save our baby…thank you soo much.below is her picture when she

answer :
Hello,
Puppies are prone to suffer from parasite infestations such as fleas, mange and worms.
The symptoms that you describe are compatible with a heavy parasitic load:
- Skin rashes that could be due to fleas or mange
- Diarrhoea and ravenous appetite for the worms
From the picture, it looks like Bianca is pot-belied which is a common sign of a worm infestation.
I believe that the crab shell incident could be purely anecdotal.
My advice is to get your pup to a vet asap and get her treated for fleas and worms. Should you wish to avoid the cost of a consultation, you may purchase “non-licenced” products from a pet store. Be aware that those may not work so well and some could even prove toxic.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes, Julien
PS: stop applying live yogourt (lactobacillus) on Bianca’s sores !

A deep connection with your pet can enhance your relationship with the animal, but it can also help save its life. Since animals can’t speak and communicate as humans can, it’s important to keep an eye out for changes in behavior which can signify an illness or problem.
Just as humans have changes in physical and mental behavior when ill, animals do, too, and knowing your pet can help you to notice these changes. It’s important to discuss any changes with your veterinarian as soon as possible for they could save the life of your pet.

We as humans, try to eat fairly well balanced meals. If you are like our family, you gulp a few vitamins and supplement pills every morning in hopes of staying healthy.
Since our pets no longer head for the woods to find their source of food, they too, need additional “health insurance” by means of vitamins and supplements.
Not even the very best canned or dry food made for cats and dogs is perfect. There is not a 100% balanced and complete food to be found anywhere, no matter what the label says. Pet food for the most part is processed by heat and as we know heat destroys vitamins and enzymes. Even frozen and freeze-dried pet foods are not the “100% perfect food” to feed your pet.
What are some of the alternatives you should be looking for to insure your pet’s health? I am not suggesting that you give your pet a hand full of pills to swallow. I am aware of how much fun it is to give a cat a pill. Even have the scratches to prove it.
No, I just want you to be aware that there are areas of health to consider when planning your pet’s diet and that their food should include certain elements. If the food you are serving does not provide these things, then it is a good idea to consider this list and possibly add these supplements.

Question :
We have a female poodle pupply, six month old with diaherria has had about two weeks, about l week ago vomitting. been to the vets every day almost. He did a x-ray and that showed alot of gas. They put her on baby food and did have her on IV fluids for a few days. she still tries to throwup, she is on meds for that too. I do not own her but did sell the baby to a wonderful home. She has been tested for parvo and has had her shots.The lady told me she has a urinary discharge and that concern me about kidney problems?
thanks
answer :
Vomiting and diarrhoea are common symtpoms amongst pups and are usually self limiting. However, it is worrying to hear that the patient is still trying to be sick despite hospitalisation and fluid therapy. It is difficult to give my opinion on an abdominal x-ray with “a lot of gas”.
Pups have a tendency to swallow non-food items which may then cause ongoing gastro-intestinal problems. It may not always cause a complete obstruction. I would recommend to perform contrast study x-rays. I would recommend to use BIPS (Barium Impregnated Polyethylene Spheres) because those may reveal a partial obstruction.
Regarding the urinary urinary discharge:
- If the discharge is a purulent discharge, then one would suspect juvenile vaginitis which is likely to be self-limiting. Antibiotherapy based on culture and sensitivity testing of the pus may help.
- If the discharge is “urine leaking” then urine testing would be the first step towards finding the exact cause of the problem.
Please note that the urine discharge may not be related to the vomiting/diarrhoea issue at all.
