My Girl Meg smiling on her last day…
adopted 2-12-2002 – 5-29-2016
A shocking cancer diagnosis…
About a month ago Meg was getting picky with eating and her thirst had increased. I knew something wasn’t right and that I had to act fast. Bloodwork showed low red blood cells….further bloodwork ….regenerative anemia…not good. PVSEC confirmed a tumor in her duodenum – upper small intestine.
CANCER?!!? Not my dog, I do everything right! She eats only raw food, No vaccines in 13 years, no chemical flea treatments and not even heartworm.
Prior to a month ago she was thriving and I was sure she had a few good years left. Sadly, she was declining quickly. I got her home and didn’t leave her for 2 days. I called her favorite humans to come and say their goodbye’s. She loved seeing everyone! We had a wonderful last 2 days together….she did all her favorite things…laying on the porch, walking in the woods and hanging out in the yard.
She is a part of me and Healthy Pet Products. Because of her my mission continues stronger than ever. I will make a difference in the lives of pets through education and awareness.
Although, I lost my girl to cancer at 15 I am sure I would have lost her a lot sooner if not for raw food and minimizing vaccinations and chemical exposure.
I am forever grateful for the time I had with her. I am heartbroken but I know my heart will heal one day and I will be able to save another.
