Bailey was diagnosed with OS on June 5, 2010, and had his left hind leg amputated to remove the tumor on June 10, 2010. We have followed surgery with carboplatin chemotherapy at Oregon State University (5 rounds), and now that we have completed this, looking into additional treatment, possibly with Adriamycin, and Metronomic Protocol. We are also interested in Artemisinin, and have complimented Bailey's conventional treatment with holistic based treatment as well. We do home cooking supplemented with a small amount (1/2 cup per meal) of Taste of the Wild dog food. His home cooked diet is a combo of wild salmon, boneless/skinless chicken breast, lean ground beef, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, green beans, and garlic. We add to this A LOT of vitamins and supplements including: Vit C, E, calcium with vit D, COq-10, fish oil, selenium, L-arganine, glutamine, turmeric/curcumin, broccoli seed extract, reishi, miatake, shitake, agaricus blazai, green tea extract, noni, and IP-6. We also add a blend of kelp powder, soy lecithin, spirulina, and ground flax powder. Whew! A lot, but I believe all of the supplements he is getting are beneficial in our battle.

Research, read, and research more. Understand the treatment options and be your dogs biggest advocate. Fight for as long and as hard as you can, and don't listen to time estimates.
