Expert: Herbs, NuVet Plus Supplements, Dog/Cat Food Recipes; ( Marie) - 2/7/2010

Question
My dog just turned 3yrs old.  Weighs 24lbs. Mini black schnauzer. Found little pea size lump under right leg. Had it removed. It was a mast cell tumor.  2nd stage. Very large incision. I need to get to the root of the problem.  I would appreciate your help.  I will also let you know what I have been feeding her.
She eats cooked chicken, beef , rice, frozen steamed peas ( her favorite ) and Dry Dog food.  Used to buy Nutro, but now buy Pro Plan.  She rarely eats the dry dog food.  Likes the cooked food better.

Answer
Janet, Here is a diet for dogs that have had or still have any cancer:  Excellent results with this food program :

Dog's CANCER DIET

The following home-made cancer diet can be given to any dog with cancer, and follows the "low carbs, high fat, moderate protein" principle.

It is important to understand that some additional supplementation is needed for complete nutrition. ( vitamin support )
( NuVET will cover the Vitamin need)


1 cup cooked brown rice

2 eggs hard boiled *( or you can do 1 full egg, and 1 with just the whites and no yolk)

1 teaspoon Flax Oil

ANY veggies you think he can try : UP to you.... ( just NO onions)

1 cup grated, lightly steamed or raw organic vegetables (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, bok-choy, cabbage, tomatoes etc…)

½ cup low-fat cottage cheese ( *goat cottage cheese is the best if you can find it....)

½ cup cooked beef or fully cooked chicken or turkey-
MEAT must be cooked ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is enough food for a 15-20 lb pooch for one day (*double the above amounts for a 30-40 lb pup;

triple the amounts for a 50-60lb).

It should be fed in 2-3 servings at room temperature.


**You can rotate your meats - I would do MORE White meats and only red 1-2 x per week.

Try this recipe -  There are many more but this one is easy and you can mix and match your meats.
If she can't do veggies , don't worry because she will be taking the NuVET PLUS to off balance to her diet.


I hope your dog enjoys this!

Also, for mast cells - many vets are using Benadryl each day - Ask your Vet about this new option - good old Benadryl 2 per day.... ( I don't want to give you the dosage - Ask your vet... Ok.*********)
