My dog has always been very healthy and has never shown any signs of illness. Over the last week or so I noticed that he was a little more lethargic than normal and had gone off his food. As such I took him to the vets a week ago. To my devastation and surprise the vet said he had bowel cancer which has spread to his prostrate and other areas. In light of this the vet said there was nothing that could be done and he would be surprised if the dog lived more than a couple of weeks. The vet said he is losing blood faster than he can make it. This news came as such a shock as he has always been very healthy and only 3 weeks ago was jumping fences and running about like crazy. Even in spite of this news he still enjoys his walks and has been walking a few miles a day with me. I know nothing will probably cure him, however as he has only been given a few weeks left to live I gather I have nothing to lose by trying supplements etc. The problem is I want to use something that is evidence based, as there are so many companies that want to sell you anything just to get your cash.
I have been reading about resveratrol which looks promising, but does anyone know how effective this is in respect of bowel cancers in dogs? Also what do people think of barley grass? What would people recommend which is evidence based?
