Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / January 2006Painkiller for bone cancer in development
http://fullcoverage.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060117/ap_on_he_me/pain_new_target *WASHINGTON - The dog hopped on three legs, pain from bone cancer so bad that he wouldn't let his afflicted fourth paw touch the floor. His owner was bracing for euthanasia when scientists offered a novel experiment: They injected a fiery sap from a Moroccan plant into Scooter's spinal column — and the dog frolicked on all fours again for several months....* .......I found over 400 citations in PubMed for resiniferatoxin, going back to 1989. Let's hope they've been playing with it long enough to allow dogs some pain relief _now_ for humanitarian reasons. buglady take out the dog before replying This is Daisy's Mom...the dog with Cancer. I happened on this note and would like an explanation of what might help Daisy. I found another lump just now. Recal she had biopsy adn it is aggressive carsinoma behind and above one eye. Foudn the lump back a bit farther toward collar on head....Hopeing to know when to Euthanize!!!!!!! When she is in pain. Thanks Bug Lady for all the help and support... Wondering why called Buglady??

We have to get more on Monday. She doesnt look so good....Julia Ann > Yes we did. We have to get more on Monday. > She doesnt look so good....Julia Ann ..........if she's obviously miserable despite pain killers, then it may be time. I know it's a hard decision, but one that most of us have had to make. buglady take out the dog before replying I became very sick on last Sunday eve. I woke up dizzy. I sat in the recliner and could not move from dizziness and nausea. (I rarely get sick and havent have that sort of flu since I was 7) From 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. I sat as still as possible. The thougth kept coming to me...."What if Daisy feels this way? What if even ONE DAY she feels this way?" It was over and over in my half dazed sleep and sickness. I fell asleep and when I awoke I looked at her. Her eyes were sad and I made the decision to put her down the following day. We talked and prayed allot on the way. I sang to her. I loved her. I prayed for ME to not fall apart. I prayed for grace. We got there and walked around the yard so she coudl poddie. We walked in. I cried and asked for a room quickly. Then her and I sat and I took her collar off and scratched her neck adn talked to her. She was sooooo peaceful and so was I. The doc came in and we all sat on the floor. Daisy was calm and laid her head on my leg. She knew. And she let me know she had peace. The transferance of her pain to me the day before let me know what to do. Then a day later on my courier route I saw her floating. I prayed hard cause I feared she was lost. Then peace came again and since then I have had two days of her near me letting me know she is fine. That is what I needed to see. I have faith but guess like most.....sure loved the sign from my old friend Daisy. Wish I could send you a pic bug lady....thanks for the support.

Over and over we tell people that one day you will just KNOW it is time. People never can quite believe it (I didn't either) but even if you've never had to face this heart wrenching decision before, it always is true - you'll know when it's time. .........May you take comfort from your memories and the bond you had with your friend. my condolences buglady take out the dog before replying > I became very sick on last Sunday eve.

It takes amazing courage, love, and strength to make the decision you made. Posts like yours help the rest of us when we are faced with the same decision. Thank you so much for sharing. May Daisey wait peacefully for you at the Rainbow Bridge.  SignatureShanna & Trouble Visit our forums! http:/dogs-forums.net Email: Remove the © I became very sick on last Sunday eve.
