My german shepard, diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma, just had his spleen removed because of internal bleeding. He had no signs of weakness or illness. We are 90% sure we are not going to do chemo because it will only give us an extra 2-5 months. Will any of these herbs really help? I have read studies that cancer in general does not like alkaline? As you know with any pet lover, we are devastated. Any suggestion? :{

Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry to Holistic Pet Info. I’m so sorry to hear about your German Shepard. There are several important issues that should be addressed with cancer — diet, immunity and treatment. The immune system is the primary defense against cancer; therefore its support is essential. The ingredients in the C-Caps Cancer formula, Immugen, and Moducare have been shown to suppress tumor growth and mobilize specific immune cells.
This is a difficult disease and you can chose to use supplements with or without chemo. At this point I would highly suggest taking your Shepard to see a holistic vet, to take the time to talk about a specific diet, supplements, Chinese herbals and acupuncture. I have used all these treatments with great success and some unfortunately not as successful. Your decision should be made with as much information about all your options as possible. Best of luck.
Sincerely,
Colleen Smith DVM, CVA
