My dog has about 50 small pea size tumors on his liver.
Is there anyway to fight it.
I heard that if I try to get his blood alkaline this may help him.
Also my vet said I could try Graviola tree extract instead of Kemo...
any help is appreciated.

My brothers girlfriend went thru cancer with her Collie so I emailed and got the info links her Vet provided. She also mentioned her vet referred her dog to an Internist. If yourvet doesn't know of an Internist, find one online or find a pet medicine referral service online.
These websites should be helpful.
Good luck!!

I remember as a young boy going to spend a couple weeks with my Grandparents in the country during summer break. They had a small self-sufficient farm with chickens, ducks, pigs, plow mule and of course a milk cow. They had dogs to keep the fox's, bobcats and snakes away from the chickens and cats to kill the mice, rats and varmits in the barn. It seemed every animal had a purpose other than "pet".
The cow spent every night in a pasture thats gate was about a quarter mile down the road from the house. Every morning at dawn my Grandpa would walk down the road, open the gate and the old cow would follow him back up the road to the barn, like a faithful dog, where a trough of corn and grain would be waiting for the old girl. To lead her with a rope had not been necessary after 7 days a week for many years. After the second milking of the day in the evening, down the road they would go, back to the pasture to where she could free graze and sleep. The old cow following the old man down the road was a beautiful sight.
Part of the pasture was on the side of a steep hill and one night the old cow while grazing there, slipped and tumbled down the hill. The next morning my Grandpa found her. She was lying at the bottom of the hill but still alive. My grandpa, even though he could not afford it, called for the veterinarian, in town 20 miles away, to drive out to help his cow.
The vet, after examining her, informed my Grandpa that she was busted up pretty bad and her leg was broke and it was best to put her down as quickly as possible. Back in those days that meant a bullet in the head for which the vet did because my grandpa simply could not bring himself to do it. The tears welled up in the old mans eyes because he loved his cow, and we all cried because we loved grandpa and his heart was broke.
My grandma, many years later, told me that when his mule got old and had to be put down they were again heart-broken. It doesn't matter whether they are cats, dogs or beasts of burden, animals truly do become a part of our family.

Sorry to hear about your friend.
