Rocky my 13 yr olb Boxer diagnosed w/ Hemangiosarcoma a year ago

Posted : 1/7/2011 5:13:24 PM

Rocky is 13...he has had and still has Cardiomyopathy and has been on Sotalol for many years (1/8 of a tab twice per day) Rocky was diagnosed last Feb with Hemangiosarcoma on his heart after a routine ultra sound. It will be his 1 year anniversary very soon....We took him to the Vet today for a full blood work because he has been drinking a lot and his appettite has been a bit higher than usual. There was no sugar in his urine so now the wait is on...possibly Cushings or thyroid...they are also doing a full culture of his urine....

Rocky is on Natures Variety Raw Vension, Fish oil tabs & CQ 10 - -

Co-Q-10 is good stuff -- you might ask your vet about adding hawthorne. It's pretty commonly accepted, even among regular vets.

Nice that he's doing so well!!

I'm so sorry to hear about Rocky's diagnosis but extremely happy to hear he's recovering! I agree with Callie that Co-Q-10 is awesome to use! It's becoming widely talked about within the cancer circles nowadays! Showing promising results!

Give him some scritches for me.

Hello fellow Rhodie! Sounds like your Rocky has been doing well! Good to get testing done when you saw the increased in drinking. Fingers/paws crossed for something that's easily managed.
