Hi. Our 9yr old lab mix Cassia (Cass) had an oral mass removed in early January, malignant melanoma with a high mitotic rate. Her lungs and lymph nodes were clear of any mastitis. At her oncology appointment we started the melanoma vaccine Oncept. Cass was on Apoquel for a couple of years for allergies but we stopped it immediately upon hearing her diagnosis. We’ve also used Otomax for her ears. Since stopping the Apoquel we’ve seen flare ups in her ears, on her chest and her paws. Last night she slept with some socks on to keep her from licking. Other then when she was a puppy she’s only received the rabies vaccine and we feed her raw. Her current diet is raw rabbit, celery juice, coconut oil, green mush & green veggies and we’ve been supplementing with CBD oil, colloidal silver and Zyflamend. Prior to diagnosis she was eating raw rabbit, pumpkin, flax oil, rehydrated veggie mix, green mush, yogurt & earth animal internal flea and tick powder and CBD oil. We removed the dairy and starchy vegetables. We have an appointment with Dr Jeff next week and we’ve been utilizing Holisric Actions and other resources to make the best decisions for her. We’re not going forward with additional surgery (to clear the margins) or radiation and have some hesitations about continuing with the Oncept.
