Precious' Case Study  

next story >>

Other Diseases/Conditions: none Story: Precious was diagnosed with mass cell tumors in May by a vet at an animal hospital. Even though surgery was mentioned, the vet said it would npt be worth the risk. I turned to the internet and tried to find more information and started giving essiac tea and other natural cures for a time. Finally, I found a new vet who tried to help with medication but was told there was no cure and even if an operation was done, it would only be a matter of weeks before the end. Precious had a healthy (vigorous) appetite, gained some weight, active up to the time her legs began to swell and still was alert and got around quite well under the circumstances. However, the mast cells spread and got really bad. Outcome: On Sept. 11th I had the vet put Precious to sleep as I didn't want her to suffer any more even though she was still very alert and surprisingly active. - By RT Precious' Parent -
