Update: Fatefull Day Tomorrow.

At the lake 2 weeks ago

Good afternoon everyone. It's been 96 days since we started the Best Dog on Navy Protocol. During that time, we've followed the protocol without fail and spoiled the heck out of her. She's shown both  improvement and setback.

KK and Princey Jan 2011

Princess's condition has deteriorated in the last few weeks. There was an abrupt turn-around after my last post.  At times she's up - alert, wagging her tail, playfully.  More often she's subdued, restless and in apparent pain. She's all but stopped using her leg and needs to be carried her up the stairs in front of the house.  Last week we started to supplement her diet with fish oil. She gets 2000 mg of Spring Valley soft-gels twice a day with her food. That seems to have perked her up.
Princess's recent slow down prompted us to scheduled another appointment with Dr Chris. It's tomorrow, January 24th at 4pm eastern time. We're dreading it. She's been an incredibly brave girl but now we're praying for the best and preparing for the worst. Here's what were thinking; if the cancer remains only in her leg bone, we'll continue on the protocol and research other options. If the cancer's spread, we'll prepare to spare her any more pain.

Regardless of tomorrow's outcome, she's coming home with us after her appointment.  I'll let you all know tomorrow evening.
