The Bauer Research Foundation (BRF) under Joseph A Bauer Ph.D, is beginning clinical trials for canine and feline Cancer!
Money is needed for more tests to see if Pugs can travel to Ohio to undergo this trial. The cost to ship her there is also expensive!
The family can't even raise enough money to buy Pugs pain
medication, so I doubt there is much hope for Pugs getting this treatment, but at least there is hope for other pets who have cancer.
The drug being tested will eventually treat humans and it would have been nice for Pugs, The Service Dog, to be able to help humans at least one more time.
The family has not given up hope. Deb gave up a month worth of cholesterol pills for herself for one pain pill for Pugs. Pugs is soundly sleeping for the first time all month. The family is researching alternative medications to ease her pain.
The alternative Herbs Pugs will be started on in November:
- Garlic is a known immune-booster, making tumor-fighting cells multiply.
Green tea has both antioxidant and astringent properties, and is especially beneficial to dogs with stomach or skin cancer.
Alternative Herbs The Family Is Considering
- Echinacea comes from the purple coneflower, and is part of traditional Native American medicine. The herb is sold dried or in pill or tincture form, and has well-established immune-boosting properties. Follow the instructions on the label for adult dosing.
