My 7 yo Shiloh Shepherd is text book Osteosarcoma patient. I was heartbroken when I had to face to the fact I needed to have her leg amputated. I was surprised how well she has done and we have started Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy. So far, she is doing very well. I have found Dr. Sue very informative so glad i stumbled on this site.
What immunotherapy did you try? How are your results today?
Thank you so much for making this. My older small dog has cancer and we just found out he has to get chemo so I’m worried
After a recent endoscopy, our cat was diagnosed with both large cell gastric lymphoma and small cell intestinal lymphoma. We are devastated and shocked as she had two ultrasounds (done by both our vet and the emergency clinic) that came back normal. We have opted to treat her and she is currently on the CHOP protocol (3 weeks in) with minimal side effects. I know we have a hard battle ahead of us but I wanted to thank you for making these informative videos. I have watched every single one of them and they have truly helped us navigate this scary and heartbreaking diagnosis. ❤️
Same here.
Thank you again Dr Sue for all you do to educate the public about chemotherapy and cancer in general with our pets. My dog has Lymphoma and has done very well on chemotherapy and only has three treatments left to go (yay!) and much as you said, Post chemotherapy she has been bouncing around and her healthy usual self. That said there is one of the chemotherapy drugs I believe it is called doxorubicin-please forgive what I’m sure is a misspelling - - Muffy had the most difficult time with this part of her therapy. She began to not eat anything and this was concerning because she would go two to three days without eating - as she is also diabetic This is quite complicated -she needs to eat and she needs her insulin twice a day. A drug was recommended by our oncologist - an appetite stimulant-and the funniest thing was for two days our dog ate everything in our cupboards and fridge - Essentially overnight she became a voracious eater and it was almost humorous because we could put down almost anything and she would eat it up. So if your dog needs an appetite stimulant I suggest that you speak to your veterinarian because it works- as a matter of fact it works and works and works again😀
My cat just had his last electro chemotherapy treatment. He was in so much pain. He was screaming and I had to give him his pain medication. He looked crazed he was burning all over his body. He vomited all over and had to have diarrhea four times in a row. All night the pain. Then he drank so much water. Ugh. Glad it is his last electro chemotherapy.
Thank you so much for sharing this invaluable information! You’re providing so many pet owners a peace of mind and a generation idea of what to expect through this tough journey.

Thank you for this information much appreciated.
Thank you for the video!!!
Thank you Dr Sue you are amazing and very helpful, THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful! 💙
Really helpful info! Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Sons dog had his front leg removed because of osteosarcoma. He has now has his first chemo treatment. He said the dog was out of it yesterday. He could not get up to eat, just wanted to lay there. He did eat but laying down. His dog is not friendly with strangers..the vet had her give the dog his anti anxiety mends before they took him in. But I did send your links to him and they do watch your videos on cancer Andy our helped them make the right choices for Ben. Thumbs up from them...👍🏻👍🏻🙂
Thank you so much for this very informative video! As a dog mum of my poorly 11year old guide dog lab with mast cell tumor, I have been bombarded with so much info and so many decisions to make. I also have family and friends on the team chemo and non team chemo and its becoming difficult for me to relay the oncologists recommendations and why. So this is a great video not just for me to use in my assessment but for others to consider too. Thanks Sue! 🐾
what about palladia?
Thanks for your immense help!
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Thanks so so so much for this very informative video.
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Thank you Doctor
My pleasure. Thanks for the positive comment 💙
VERY helpful.
Thank you! 😊
Thanks lots Doctor
you are so welcome 💙
Your channel is so useful. Sometimes I can't take everything in that the oncologist says at the time because I'm so stressed. Please send Dom the Mog some love and tell him he's a good boy for trying to eat.
this is really helpful thanks again
Glad it helped! 💙💙 Thanks for watching!
Thank you! My cat was just diagnosed with high-grade lymphoma and my oncologist found it's likely spread to the spleen, liver, GI tract, and kidneys. He is showing positive changes in mood with Prednisolone, but now I have to decide if Chemo is an option. This helps because I was worried I was going to put a huge damper on his QOL, but I think I may try one or two sessions if he starts eating regularly again.
Pozy how is your kitty doing?
I can't believe that some pet owners wouldn't tell you anything if their pet was having side effects! The last thing I'm going to do is keep quite when my pet doesn't or isn't doing well. Especially when taking chemo!!!!
Thank you so much for this video and so many others. My dog is doing the CHOP thing and she has been sick a couple of times even though she is taking the anti nausea. On top of that she had seizures before cancer so she was on about 5 pills that she took happily with food but when she is sick and doesn't want to eat, it has been awful trying to get the pills down her. I was so depressed and sad when she got sick this time...I felt like something was wrong because she didn't get sick the other times after chemo. After watching this video, I felt hope and felt like everything was going to be ok. Sure enough today she is back to eating and taking her pills. Without You tube videos like this, unless you have experienced chemo before, you have no way of knowing so many things. We have a great Dr that has explained everything but I'm sure I just forget.
Thank you for this comment. Truly. I am glad the videos are helpful and that your dog is feeling better. I hope she kicks cancers butt. xo
Hello...
My Bella was just diagnosed.
Had a biopsy of lesion on spine. It is a secondary to mammory mass which is primary.
Suggested had surgery and then either chemo or radiation.
Her vet leans more towards keeping her comfortable.
Hard decisions to make, just don't want her to suffer.
Thank you Dr. Sue for the informative video. My 9 years old corgi developed severe neutropenia 7 days after her first dose of lomustine for the treatment of histiocytic sarcoma. Is there any tips for taking care of her ? Like reducing the time of dog walk or sanitization ? Thank you for your help.
sanitization
Hopefully you can see my comment. My dog was diagnosed with TVT and now he was prescribed a chemotherapy per week, is this interval too short for him? It has passed one day from his first chemo, and he got diarrhea.
Why my dog look like poisoned after the treatment And died ?
Please help me decide. My 5 year old english bulldog had a subcutaneous mast cell tumor removed from his front right shoulder area. They also removed the lymphnode as well. It was sent to a pathologist and came back as a grade 2 with a mitotic index of 4, and multinuculer cells. The lymphnode was clean no mast cells. We also had a ultrasound on the abdomen and no obvious evidence of spread. We were told it is not necessary but if we wanted to be aggressive we could do chemotherapy. It would be 1 dose of vinblastine 1x a week for 4 weeks and then 1x every other week for 8 weeks. Along with a prednisone tapper. Do you think it is worth the risk to reward?
My dog is facing seizures during chemo is it normal? How to prevent it.? also vomiting and lost Appetit.
The main side effect that my dog is experiencing is hair loss and skin sensitivity increased (she already has sensitive skin, so now with chemo it became worse). Also, her apetite is surprisingly good, despite her not really wanting to eat the not so palatable dog food sometimes. I do cook for her sometimes, and give her probiotics and a corticosteroid recommended by her vet. She is a Lhasa Apso and she’s almost completely naked, poor thing… very patchy as the Doc said, but she’s still my beautiful baby regardless of how she looks. I just want her to get better ❤️🩹
My dog is a Lhasa Apso too. She’s having problems with having zero appetite after Tanovea.
My cat who is about 13 yrs old has CKD and Large Cell Lymphoma in her small intestine. Her BUN and Crit were off the chart that they say about 70% of her nephrons are damaged. Is it worth it to start her on Chemo? I know you don't have values or anything of her reports but just wondering if you know a cat with CKD can be treated well with LC Lymphoma or not. Thank you in advance for any feedback.
Great work!
My 5 year old Labrador is undergoing a chemotherapy for his tumor which is luckily getting healed pretty fast. However today (2 weeks into his therapy) he is crying in pain and looking out for cold surface to sit on. I'm not sure if this is because of the chemo but do you think this can be a side effect of the therapy, if yes can you please suggest what should we do. Looking forward to your revert.
Hello my 3 years old labrdaor is also undergoing a chemotherapy for her tumor and same 2 weeks into her therapy she is doing the same thing. Crying in pain and searching cold surface . Can you please tell me is it due to this therapy or something else .please reply soon
@@shreyamishra1533 how is your Labrador doing now? I wish him fast recovery.
@@iHEARTdisney03 she is doing good .
Thank you 😊
@@shreyamishra1533 Thank you for replying. I'm just now faced with the decision making process and trying to weigh all the pros and cons. 🙏
Very very very very well tolarated? Well, totally untrue with my cat.
If chemo is so well tolerated why is the comment section full of dog owners with serious side effects from chemo including seizures crying in pain and necrosis of the tounge and even death? Goodie bag seriously these dogs are suffering and being blasted with antibiotics on top of the other medications and that’s not even including the chemo drugs themselves
Because owners only with side effects look for solution here and there
How old is too old to treat with chemo if surgery isn’t an option? (Suggested osteosarcoma on crest of skull + plus heart mass)
My dog was 12 when he was diagnosed and died at 13 after a second round of chemo. (He had adenocarcinoma in the colon and he did Carboplatin) after the first round of chemo (5th injection) he lost the tip of his tongue because it necrotized and after the second round he passed away, I would say do pallative care and give him lots of love, chemo is hard,
doc sue what about hemorragic cytisis. can u tell us more about that
It is an uncommon side effect from the chemotheray cyclophosphamide that we see in dogs (but not cats). Administering Lasix can decreased incidence form about 10% to 1%
How many times should cbc be performed? My oncologist is suggesting once a month but I read it needs to be done before every treatment
Dr Sue, My dog will start chemotherapy. Doctors gave us two options. One is oral medication. Second, injectable chemo. Both are ok financially for our family. I just don’t know which would be best to go with, which one works better and won’t make my French Bulldog worse or weak. She’s 25 pounds, 12 years old and was diagnosed with hemangioma sarcoma.
I feel like the medication will not work that good but on the other hand I feel like injections will make her sick. What happens if the injections start to make her worse? Will they stop or give less doses.
Any suggestions is appreciated.
Hi
How's it going
What did you decide And how is your dog?
Howdy!
My Lab Amber is 7 years old. She had a ruptured spleen tumor from hemangiosarcoma. She starts the meds tomorrow:
cyclophosphamide + piroxicam
RxCoriolus
Yunnan Baiyao
Vitamin B3 supplementation (nicotinamide)
Propranolol
How is your dog now?
@@agasalmans She passed away within 6 months. The meds where was on worked but she tore her CCL and they wanted her to stop the meds for a bit to give it time to heal. Welp within 30 days when went from zero signs to over 100s of tumors she died very quickly one Friday night. So overall she has passed but the meds did work.
unless they give me that medication to inject in him there is NO WAY ill be able to get him to take it. Its already hard enough sneaking blood pressure meds in his food. :( ........Thanks for these vids
You are welcome! Have you found this one on tricks for giving pills?

Please help I gave my dog prednisone for 2 weeks before chemo
Hi can we give curcumin and CBD oil to dog who is undergoing chemotherapy
Hi I would like to know how dangerous for the pet owners is to live together with a dog under chemotherapy ? At the moment that I took the dog from the pet hospital after his first chemotherapy I gave him a kiss …. Should I be worried for
my health ?
Hello I'm from india. I have 2 year old Labrador and he is under chemotherapy treatment as he got ctvt. Bt here vets r giving chemo without cbc. What should I do.. I mean in my place there is no pathologist available to count cbc. So what should I do to lower the risk of getting low white blood cell???? Plz help
How's your dog now? I am also facing a similar situation. From west bengal, India
Do chemotherapy make dog unable to sleep?
Buster didn’t eat for 2 days after Tanovea.
My cat had chop chemo she had a melena bled with diarrhea. I still give her anti diarrhea oral drug the diarrhea stopped. When I give the drug her mouth foams I try to give her near her check it doesn’t help. I have to give all the drugs at the same time. Anti nausea anti acid steroids antibiotics because her white blood count is low. I found out she had big cell lymphoma on February 14,2020 she started enzymes February 27,2020 then week after chemo. This week she’s having utralsound to see if it shrunk if it didn’t I think I might have to put her down I’m depress as it is I was pretty optimistic when the oncologist said he didn’t feel the mass now he said he felt it. And she spit out the steroids pill which didn’t know I found it on the floor usually I crush it but she wouldn’t eat so I had to pill her. Now I give her oral medication and praying that I could give the oral more proper. I watch how to do it for some reason it’s not working well.
I hope things worked out for you and your sweet baby.
Hey i am from India my dog is having mouth cancer doctor is not doing surgery and i get my dog chemotherapy 7 times please help me can how can i contact you 😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺
Hi im from Philippines, i have the similar experience with my 2 year old dog. I just recently found out she has cancer in her mouth and surgery was too risky. How’s your dog?
Good info but really not appreciated to call it a goodies bag ... it's a horrible experience and not easy on pets or owners. Very pushy. Are you pharma sponsored??
I’m sorry, I’m having a hard time believing this.
If you do not beleive, it does not mean it is not true or it does not exist.
Me either just read the comment section full of serious side effects from chemo
