Found out today ours has bladder cancer. Sort of knew it already, but was confirmed. Doctor says she has anywhere from 1 month to maybe 6. Won't have to deal with pain, but the tumor will grow and eventually cut off her ability to pee.


You might want to use piroxicam. It's an NSAID. Primarily used for pain, but in a small number of dogs it causes unexpected remissions.

You can also change her diet to be less than 20% carbohydrates. That will slow the growth of the tumor.

Yes, ordered it today. Wasn't something the vet had in house.
