I hate that you are going through this, but I do hope all turns out well, I have faith that it will. All is well here, we are not doing chemo this time around the mast that was removed was low grade enough that it was not felt to be necessary as they felt it was removed with large enough margins during the surgery, but we check and double check for new growth often and we keep his coat clipped.
Would you mind giving me more info on the supplement? I am going to google it to see what I can find but if you don’t mind I would love to hear what your experience with it is.

Best of luck to you and your baby!

I am sorry to hear that Buddy had Osteosarcoma, however, glad to hear he is fighting the good fight! I appreciate your feedback, the Curcuvet sounds interesting, I am going to look further into that. We can definitely make ourselves and our furbabies crazy and that is not the intention, but you are so right if we don’t relax they sense it!

The tumor was removed, wide margins etc, therefore with mast cells, there isn’t really a remission so to speak, tumor is gone, cancer is gone unless another appears, and so far so good. He did act fine until just this last week after we were out of town, so maybe just the heat change. I could be a dog mom over thinking it, Kirklands food is correct and the other dog is fine, it did take them a 2 week adjustment period and we are not using the salmon formula, as fish is not recommended or mast cells. He is also 6 an may just need the 2 year old to give him a break! Again, I may just be in his face too much….

After much going stark raving mad, and I switch to non other than a costco brand, it gets I believe a 4 to 4.5 star review on here, and it has chicory root, and chia seed, which I question, but not enough to cause to much concern, but I am at the reviews again, simply because he seems lethargic, not as “happy” as he was even right after the tumor was removed, and Mast Cells are external and his was low grade, so no reason for him to behaving this way from a diagnosis stand point.

Actually, none, they both feel his weight and everything was ideal, they think he is overall healthy and his breed makes him predisposed to the disease (which is possible) however my issue is that I now have a second dog that I was feeding blue buffalo (possible coincidence, even though I now know the food is crap), that has come up with the same diagnosis, that is what is weighing so heavy on me. My other companion dog at the time of either was perfectly healthy (as a side note) they both are a great weight, so skin issues, etc. I am literally making myself crazy over this. I do believe grain free is the best way to go as it is can be a histamine producer.

While I appreciate your reply and honesty, I knew this panel would not be made up of vets, I was just curious if anyone had any experience with Mast Cells in the past. I have done a lot of research, we have a great vet, and an oncology vet as well that are taking care of the case, but lets face it vets are like doctors, they too see “representatives,” the holistic approach is a great thought, but that comes down to a raw diet, and seeing what else they may have to offer, Thanks pitlove!
