You might want to add the herb thisilyn to his diet. Thisilyn cleanses the liver. One of my older "puppies" (9 years, but still my puppy)is being given this herb to clean his liver because of the prescription medicines he has to take for his torn cruciate ligments. You can wrap the capsule in a favorite piece of candy, cookie or even a hot dog to make medicine taking easier for all. Thysilyn cleanses the body and bloodstream of dead tissue and sometimes brings dead matter to the surface in the form of a boil. It's best to take additional calcium if you use echinacea for more than 2 months; as it can start utilizing the calcium in your body during it's cleansing activities. We will add your dobie to our prayer list.

Dogs LOVE radiation. To see if your dog likes it, put your dog in the kitchen microwave. Make sure you have a shovel on hand before this test, just in case doggie doesn't enjoy.

It all depends on the dog and how healthy he/she is at the time. We just finised radiation treatment on our 8 yr rottie frank who has oral caner. The give him a yr to a yr and 1/2 with the treatment and so far he is doing well. I think he is a fighter so that also helps and the fact that I caught this in it's early stages. This form of cancer is only treatable so we will see what the future holds for him. So, I say if your dog or pet has a greater chance of living what they have left on this earth healthy and happy why should they be allowed to have treatment like this.

I forgot to add one more thing. The only problem we have with frank after his radiation treatment is he lost hair around his nose and his nose was a little burned(like a mild sunburn) otherwise you would NEVER know he had treatment. They say that it doesn'taffect dogs like it does people, they don't get sick from it just tired from being knocked out ( they had to do this to keep him still for his treatments. My frank was so funny he couldn't wait to go for his treatments. I hope I was of some help to you good luck with your dobie.

It depends what the treatment is for, and what severity. Generally the treatments will make the dog sluggish and drained both during the treatment and for a while afterwards, as long as everything goes well. As far as weither it's a "good idea" is a question of morality, money, and risks. That type of question is one that goes from case to case and you should talk over with your vet.

Pincher dogs have a rare vulnerability to radiation, resulting in massive prolonged ejaculation from the eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Radiation affects young, rapidly dividing cells the most. In almost all situations a heathcare provider will not expose something to radiation unless the benefits outweigh the risk. Also, most machines now days use intensifying screens which signifcantly lowers the absorbed dose by using light diffusion to expose film instead of x-ray. I am an x-ray tech. Ask the healthcare provider you have for more information on the risk of this exposure.

Depends what the radiation treatment is for and the severity of the condition. All radiation exposure is dangerous and im sure your vet is doing this because he feels it necessary.By law your vet must justify his actions.Not a procedure commonly done in veterinary practices
