We met with the holistic vet yesterday. It was an interesting meeting and she confirmed I was on the right track with changing his diet to a mostly protein, veggie diet with very little grains and those grains needed to be barley or brown rice. I also supplement his food with salmon oil, a mushroom capsule, multi vitamin, digestive enzymes and sea meal (kelp) and two crushed almonds. This diet is supposed to help his body fight the cancer and make him healthier overall. For now, since Jack is going thru chemo she suggested holding off on any antioxidant supplements. I will add those once he is done with chemo. She did say to add a lot of greens (collard, spinach, beet, kale) to the food I'm making for him. Its more work than just scooping a cup of kibble (he gets that to, Orijen) but it will make him so much healthier! She also said that should he have nausea with any of his treatments, that acupuncture can really help. I will keep in contact with her, especially after his chemo is over. All my research shows that this disease is a very devasting and sneaky disease and we are trying to cover all are bases.
Now we just wait to see how his CBC comes back on Thursday. He continues to do great!!
