Johnny’s Progress

Hi everyone!
I’ve been all over the internet trying to find the best protocol for Johnny, my 13 year old Beagle. He was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma on his left ankle bone on 3/11/19. He saw his Vet on 3/5/19 for an exam because he had been limping for at least a week. Vet took a Radiograph, Chemistry CBC Blood Panel, and Lab Urinalysis. We got the results on 3/11/19 with the diagnosis of bone cancer-Osteosarcoma. His lab work was good and his X-ray showed no Metastisis in the lungs.The only option he gave us was amputation of the Hind Leg. On my internet search the first solution I found was to put Johnny on a Raw Ketogenic Diet through Keto Pet Sanctuary. So that’s what I’ve been feeding him since 3/12/19.

He was scheduled for his amputation on 3/27/19. I cancelled it and made an appointment with an Oncologist for Tuesday 4/2/19. I read that he may be a candidate for Radiation Therapy.

So here we are almost a month since his diagnosis and all I’ve been doing is feeding him a Raw Ketogenic Diet.

Now I’m reading that if your dog has Cancer not to feed him Raw.

So many options! So far Johnny has not exhibited any pain. He just limps around and sleeps a lot. He loves his raw food!

I have noticed that his tumor has grown a little.

See what the Oncologist will offer. She said she has several options.
