Lymphoma in Shelties

Star is doing better today on prednisone. We've decided to start making our own dog food so I've been researching it. I've actually wanted to for quite a while but never got around to figuring out what needed to go into it. Anyone know of any good sites on dog nutrition/homecooked meals that are balanced?

There are many sites, but I recommend adding this supplement; it's incredible. My two who have hip trouble haven't limped once since taking it. Now they RUN!!! It's all natural, too:
www.vibrantpets.net
 
The Whole Dog Journal magazine is a great resource for everything natural, including making your own food, and they frequently discuss diets for medically challenged dogs. I've been getting it for years, and I highly recommend it. Once you subscribe, you can go to their online site and search back articles about feeding and receipes. The website is http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/.

There are also a number of books dedicated to making your own dog food. If you search Amazon (be sure to do it through Sheltie Nation so we get credit) you'll find a wealth of doggie cookbooks. Good luck!

BTW I second Chris' recommendation of the Vibrant Pets supplement. I've been using it for a few weeks and it's great stuff!
 
Hi Leann, I'm also sorry to hear about your furkids. I don't have any answers or information that the others have provided but I will keep your family and Star in my thoughts. Please do keep us posted as to how she is doing.
 
Lymphoma

Hi, I'm new to Sheltie Nation. I have 2 Shelties - brother and sister, both 9 years old. Yesterday, my boy Chase was diagnosed with Lymphoma as well. I'm devastated and sympathize.
 
I am sorry to hear about Chance.
My boy, gavin, has had 2 surgeries in the past 3 weeks. One for sarcoma and one for mast cell tumor. Radiation is on the schedule for the sarcoma, but his mast cell tumor wound is not cooperating at the moment. Its a mess!

I don't know that I got any sleep the first 3 weeks due to worry and stress. Now I don't get any sleep due to hyper-vigilance with wound monitoring!

It is heartbreaking, overwhelming, and stressful.
Come here to complain, cry, and commiserate as much as you want.

:hugs
