Canine Thyroid
Carcinoma.
This
study is not testing new treatment. It is collecting data for
future treatment development. Dogs in the study receive the
standard of care for dogs diagnosed with
thyroid carcinoma. Blood specimens, histopathology, radiographs, and a
CT scan of the thyroid region will be performed at the time of tumor
diagnosis. Dr. Wilke, board certified
veterinary surgeon at the VMC, will perform a biopsy to remove thyroid
tissue for study. Based on each individual case, this may be an
incisional biopsy to remove a sample of tumor or an excisional
biopsy to remove the entire tumor.
Canine

Veterinary Medical Center (VMC) to determine the safety and
efficacy of immunogene therapy in pet dogs with canine glioma. Contact

Laurie,
Your book
is fabulous. I would recommend it to anyone for any reason, not
just because their dog has cancer. There is a wonderful story in there
of the love & care you gave Bullet. You two had an amazing
relationship that is worth reading about. I'm so glad you shared
it.
While
we had intended to try chemo with Toosox (primarily BECAUSE of
your book!) her reaction to the prednisone really turned us
against any treatment. She always was very sensitive to any
drugs. We felt that ultimately the chemo would be too much
for her.
Your information gave us the knowledge to make the decisions we had to
make.
Kim
and Toosox
