Nate - TCC
Nate - TCC
I've dreaded posting this...
Nate was diagnosed with TCC of the bladder in April of this year. It is a type of cancer that does not respond well to chemo or radiation and due to the tumor's location in the trigone area of the bladder surgery is not an option.
He's on prednisolone and tramadol. He's still happy and eating normally despite passing blood every time he goes. I don't know how much time he has left but he'll be spoiled rotten
Please he him and his sister, Raymi in your thoughts

Re: Nate - TCC
Judith, I am so sorry to read this. Many of us know how heartbreaking it is when we receive such a difficult diagnosis. We will keep you and Nate and Raymi in our hearts and prayers. With our bridge German Shepherd, Kip, we found that treasuring every moment we had with him and expressing our love and gratitude to him for all the gifts he had given us helped us so much during the transition.
Know that we are walking this difficult path with you.
Hugs,
Barb

Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

Riley is a 10 year old Labradoodle. She was diagnosed with EPI in 2014.
She currently eats Taste of the Wild, I cup in the morning, 2 cups in the evening, each meal with 1 Wonderlabs B12 sprinkled over her dinner. Enzymes are EnzymeDiane, 1 tsp per cup of food, mixed in home made bone broth. No other supplements or meds at this time.
Riley currently weighs about 44 pounds, which is pretty heavy for her.

Re: Nate - TCC
Hello Judith i am sorry the read about Nate and i know how hard it is to write information like that it happened to me a year ago ..but we are all here to support you wether its EPI or not .Hugs to all of you.
Maddie DX April 2011 along with low B12 she was feed with a low fibre food below 3% , fat was not restricted ( she wasnt good on pea based foods ) She initially had a course of B12 shots weekly over a period of 6 months and then we used the B12 pills from Chemeyes in the UK . We used Panzym and slowly had to increase the dose as she aged when she was first DX she was 23kg but she gained weight quickly and got back to 33 kg .
Maddie gained her angel wings in Jan 2018 at the age of 10 to a condition unrelated to EPI.[/color]

Oh Judith - I am so so sorry to read this about sweet little Nate. I know you're heart must be breaking - you all have been through so much together. I have no doubt that he will be spoiled rotten and you will be treasuring every moment with him. Keeping you all in my prayers!
Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.
