In this important new book, author Lola Ball provides answers to the question of what you the owner can do and what your alternatives are if your dog is struck by cancer. The most important first steps are to arm yourself with knowledge about the different types of cancers, medicines, treatment alternatives and prognoses. But what if treatments do not succeed? What are your options then? This is the point at which most owners are left alone not knowing what to do. Based on her two experiences with cancer in her own dogs, Lola explores the range of choices you do have and strategies you can employ to make the best of the time you have remaining with your dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will learn: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of the concepts and techniques employed in human hospice and palliative care can be applied successfully to dogs with cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe power of continuing to interact with your dog walks, petting, grooming, massage for as long as the dog is physically able to enjoy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat can be done in terms of nutrition and other forms of natural care to make your dog as strong and comfortable as he can be given the situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow natural death can be an alternative to euthanasia in some cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow other owners facing the same issues have dealt with cancer in their dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat experts are saying about\u003cem\u003e When Your Dog Has Cancer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLola Ball has created a much needed, thorough, clearly written, informative and compassionate book.
