Hi, I have a 14yo Airedale who in the last year seems to be getting inundated with fatty tumors. He's always had a few, however, now they seem to be popping up weekly. The Vet doesn't want to remove them because of his age. (Doesn't want to put him under.) Has anyone had any luck with any holistic remedies for fatty tumors? or any advice in general would be very much appreciated. In general Buster is in pretty good health, has some arthritis that we're taking care of with asprin and liquid health's gluc/chon/msn. He's had two senior dog test in the last year and they both came back that he's very healthy.  [This message has been edited by katchatu (edited 12-20-2003).] IP: Logged |

I don't have any personal experiance w/ this, sorry, i'd like to be of more help. Ummmm, try contacting a holistic-veterinarian. They should be your best help w/ this, i'd think. Just off the top of my head, perhaps Essential Fatty Acids (Omega's 3 & 6) "natural" food supplements. Perhaps human-grade quality kibble/nutrition. You'd want to check w/ your holistic-Vet 1st though... Your airdales are beautiful!! Keep Us Posted & Good-Luck IP: Logged |

Yes, I agree. A holistic Vet would be able to help best. Check your phone book for one closest to you. I have heard good things about holistic vets. I hope it works. Best of luck! IP: Logged |

Thanks for your advice and replying. I came across a holistic site and they recommend organic flaxseed oil and organic cottage cheese. Haven't been able to find the organic cottage cheese here in Pensacola. But, already started him in the flaxseed. He's now outside barking at a Heron. Buster's (14yo/25"/80pds) a big boy. But, this Heron is taller than him...of course Buster's mode of attack is to bark at the Heron and then he...mozies....on to the back of the fence...the bird slowly walks away. Nothing like an surprise attack in slow motion.

My aussie, Kopon, had a fatty tumor on her chest. We never got rid of it, but that was the only one she had. Glad you got it worked out! And what beautiful dogs! IP: Logged |

Oh, also, I'd be remiss if I didn't thank you about my Airedales being beautiful. Moxie knows it and works it every chance she gets. Buster, on the other hand is my Gary Cooper - 'aw shucks ma'am, that's kind of you to say.' Girl dogs shamelessly throw themselves at him all the time. (Except of course Moxie - who has to live with and thinks he just doesn't get it  Flirty Moxie: [This message has been edited by katchatu (edited 12-22-2003).] IP: Logged |

a friend of mine had a childhood dog that still lived with his parents. the dog was 18 or 19 years old. the dog had a fatty tumor, on his head if I remember right, this was a few years ago. anyway, my cat was eating a raw food diet, and i was eating a raw food diet, and i told him, you know, your dog has been eating only cooked food for his entire life and has never had any raw fat or enzymes, or other nutrients found in raw food, so let's feed him some raw food and see if he gets better. so, he started feeding him raw eggs, and occasionally some raw meat, and the tumor shrank away. then he left his parents and they didn't keep up the regimen and he started going downhill again and 6 months or a year later was put to sleep. as far as i know the tumor never came back. there are nutrients that wild dogs get from raw foods that are not present in cooked or processed foods. what happens to a dog when they get these nutrients from raw foods can make the difference in recovering from health conditions, like putting high quality fuel in a car that was running poorly on water contaminated gas.

I've heard about raw diets and didn't realize that it wasn't an "all or nothing" situation. I'll try it. Since Buster is my primary "pre-washer" - I've given him scramble eggs bowls to clean - however, it's probably his least favorite pre-wash. Boy, is he going to be a happy boy for christmas. I'm not really a meat eater, but, I'm going to pick him up some meat when I go the grocery store tomorrow. Thanks for the advice. IP: Logged |
