Dog cancer Q/A website, support group... mast cell tumor?


Dog cancer Q/A website, support group... mast cell tumor?My dog had a mast cell tumor removed in early October. Surgery went well, clean margins etc. I researched and researched and decided to change her regular kibble diet to the 'canine cancer diet' to prevent it from returning. Everything seemed to be going well, no new growths or anything.

But today while she was laying on the floor something just didn't look right to me... I investigated further... the color of her foot pads were pale, I checked her gums, pale, even under her hair the skin is pale. So I went back to my dog cancer literature... I need to get her to the vet asap... have an apt for tomorrow.

In the meantime from what I can piece together... it seems like the cancer may have spread possibly into her bone marrow... which would cause the 'anemia' that I believe I am seeing.

Long story... I apologize I'm very upset and emotional. Does anyone know of a dog cancer online support group... I have so many questions that I want to ask and I want to know what other peoples experience with this has been.

Any good websites where I could find such a thing would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

karin please no reason to apolgize your worried about your beloved pet. Your doing the right thing by researching what you can off the net. Many come in her lazy or have no interest in searching for themselve. When my dog was sick or just under the weather I always looked up things even there medication. So good for you that your being proactive. I like your investigation skills :-).

Okay so i've looked on the internet for you and found some things you can visit to see if this will be helpful for you.. just copy and paste into the search engine i have copyed it exactly as you see it.
