 My Rottweiler 'Cocoa'
Dealing with Cancer

Submitted by the Andersons on February 10, 2005

I just read your story about Maverick, the Rottweiler diagnosed with cancer. My Rottweiler, Cocoa, 4 years old, has just been diagnosed with cancer today. My vet gave him six weeks to live. We also chose against the chemotherapy because we want Cocoa as comfortable as he can be. Cocoa has just been prescribed prednisone today.  We started giving him two pills a day for a week, then we give him one pill a day there after. I am wondering what this garlic pill and cleansing pill are and where can I find it?

 

We also have Cocoa's sister and father and have seen no signs in the other two Rottweilers. Cocoa was very sick before we took him to the vet.  He didn't want to move without taking aspirin and his face swelled up terribly. The vet prescribed Cocoa Keflex for the swelling in his face. Cocoa has been taking Keflex for three days now and has lost all swelling in his face. His lymph nodes though are all still very swollen.

If we did not know that Cocoa has cancer you would never know, he is back to himself playing, running, jumping, barking -- all of the things Cocoa loves to do. We all love Cocoa very much and want to keep him around for as long as we can.
