Friday I got the devastating news that my beloved 8 year old border collie/lab mix, Zoe, has a month or two to live. 13 days ago, I noticed a lump inside her lip and along her snout. I took her to the vet and he put her on antibiotics for 7 days which were not effective. Friday I took her to a specialist (oncologist) who told me the lump was an aggressive cancer that had already spread into the bone and the roof of her mouth. It's inoperable & the even with aggressive surgery to take some of the mass away (there's too much involvement of bone to get it all) & radiation her life would only be extended a month or two.

Has anybody had any luck with Aloha Medicinal's product K9 Immunity? I believe it's suposed to be used in conjunction with chemo or radiation but I wonder if it would help on it's own. There are 'testimonials' on the internet about how great the product is but they seem very staged and I wonder if someone from the company published them. If it is a scam, I don't care about losing money but Zoe's mouth is sore and getting her to eat is hit or miss. To give her pain pill, I put it in cheese and sometimes she refuses that. I don't want to spend what little time she has left strong arming her into taking a pill that may not do anything.

We got Zoe when she was only 7 weeks old and she's been my constant companion every since. I am disabled and as she got older, I increasing needed my wheelchair. One day when I was on vacation, Zoe and I went to the beach in my wheelchair (a 1/2 mile distance I couldn't walk) and I couldn't believe how she was trying to help pull me and was keeping me on the side of the road exactly where It was safest. I had her evaluated and she was quickly trained to be my service dog. For the last 4 years she's gone to work with me, to the store and even travels with me (on the plane, by my feet). It's going to feel like an amputation when this dog is no longer by my side.

I would so appreciate any information on that product or any other remedys that may give us more time together or help her be more comfortable as her mouth becomes more sore.

thanks, Zoe's Desperate Mom

Hi Zoes Mom-

I've been looking for postings with regards to the same thing. Have you found any reliable postings or credible reports on the K9 Immunity? June Bug

i have never heard of a product such as this, but reading up on the internet leads me to believe that "it couldnt hurt." it appears to be a homeopathic formulation to boost the dog's immune system by providing vitamins and nutrients. in itself, it does not appear to be a cure of any kind but a supplement to a veterinarian's care.
i would be interested to hear about its efficacy.

disclaimer:
i am not a vet.
i do not endorse this product.
talk to your vet to see what he or she thinks about the product.

My dog Oscar has had two surgerys because of an aggressive mouth tumor. My vet has advised me the next surgery will take out a chunk of his upper and lower jaw. He is 15 and the tumor is deforming his jaw. He bites the tumor causing infection. The vet says she will keep me in antibiotics for infection, but there isn't much hope. I haven't stopped crying. The thought of having my baby put to sleep is awful.
I got Oscar when he was 6wks old. It seems I have always had him. He is my Bubby and will always be a puppy to me.
Now comes the decision making. Do I put him through more surgery? How far advanced is this tumor.
If you find a miracle I'd love to know what it is.
