Just wondering if anyone in the group who has a dog with cancer, has used the Cartrophin Vet Injections.?

My dog Cagney has systemic mast cell cancer which seems to be somewhat "under control". Right now her mobility is becoming the biggest problem. I am very hesitant to try them because in my research although there seems to be very few side effects, one of the side effects have been- they have caused the odd dog with cancer to collapse collapse. We are going to have to do something soon or she is going to become totally imobile. She is already on glucosamine,Shark cartilage and recieving accupuncture.

Reply:Ive had to let 2 of my pets go because of cancer. My oldest dog lived longer because of the injections, but the quality of life is not the same. Its very hard to let one of them go, but in all reality we don't know how much they may be suffering. I just wish it was this easy when it comes to people. My last dog was a female and only 5 years old, she was diagnosed with cancer 1 month after I found out that I had cancer. It hurt so much to say good bye but I know that she didn't suffer too long. You will know when the time comes to let go. I am so sorry for you.
