Confirmed

We received the news yesterday that Sam does indeed have canine lymphoma.
We will be treating her, under the care of Dr Landry, with the University of Wisconsin protocol.

The treatment will start next week.  We are hopefully this will extend her life out more than a year.
Paws Crossed!
Administration will be IV, I will bring her to the office once a week.  It is sad that she will again be a pincushion, this Corgi has been to hell and back.  More than her share of times.

We will additionally be using a fair amount of natural and alternative options.  Mostly centered around diet.  Leslie is continuing research there.  We have already begun to switch both the Corgis to a 100% raw diet.  There are very good options for frozen raw food now available.  As more and more people realize this is important.

I have heard from some friends that they are not sure if they would actually treat Sam, basically due to the cost.  This comment is incomprehensible to me.  It is not a question in my mind.  One look at Sam, sitting at my feet, staring at me from a few feet away, playing happily still with her sister proudly carrying her toys back to me, and basically never ever leaving my side... well, therein lies your answer.  These are the best dogs, and purest friends a man could Ever ask for.  I am obviously partial to Corgis, but pure dogs lovers can unite around my thinking.  They are family.  Plain and simple.
