Osteosarcoma in dog 02876...USA
The practitioner’s female German Shepherd, Shelby, trained as a therapy dog, brought comfort and joy to all who met her. When she was just six months old, in Nov 2000, she was diagnosed with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, a condition where the pancreas fails to produce necessary digestive enzymes. This was managed with Creon, a human pancreatic enzyme which enabled her to live a healthy, normal life.
In 2012, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in her rear right leg, a painful and aggressive condition that often leads to amputation. So, the hospital started her on one session of radiation therapy to be followed by three weeks of chemotherapy. At the same time, on 12 Sept 2012, the practitioner administered:
#1. CC1.1 Animal tonic + CC2.1 Cancers - all + CC2.2 Cancer pain + CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases…TDS
Treatment progress:
- 12 Oct 2012: #1 enhanced to #2. CC18.5 Neuralgia + CC20.7 Fractures + #1…TDS.
- 4 Dec 2012: During a scan for abdominal distension, lethargy and incontinence, spleen found enlarged, though tumour not at high risk of cancer.
- 20 Mar 2013: Had fainting spell for a few minutes; given #3. CC3.3 High Blood Pressure (BP) + CC3.6 Pulse irregular…TDS.
- 30 Aug 2013: Diagnosed with lung cancer for which allopathic drug Palladia started; allopathic painkillers given whenever needed.
With radiation and chemotherapy for a month and supported daily with vibrionics, Shelby never lost her ability to walk and remained pain-free for 19 months. On 12 Apr 2014, she passed away peacefully at the age of 14, the average life span of female German Shepherd being 10 to 14 years.
Editor’s note: Osteosarcoma is a painful and aggressive disease that typically affects large breeds. The standard veterinary approach is to amputate the affected leg, since dogs generally cannot bear weight on it once the cancer advances. Even with amputation, the prognosis is poor, as cancer tends to spread rapidly to the lungs and other bones. Most dogs survive only 3-6 months without treatment, and 6-12 months with amputation plus chemotherapy. Shelby, on the other hand, was able to walk comfortably without amputation, stayed active and lived pain-free with joy for 19 months; this was considered truly remarkable by the veterinarian.
