My friends Rotty who is 6 years old (Rosella) who is blind from this. The vet only gives her 2-3 months to live. She was wondering if there is anything she can do to help her other then Chemo. She is on a drug called Prednisone right now. just thought I would pick all your brains and see if anyone had experience with this.

Thank you

The prednisone is to shrink the tumor, has she seen a cancer referral vet they are the best ones to advise you if it is possible.

Hiya Dollface,
My staffie 'charlie' is on pred also... i know it increases their appitite but im not sure what else is does. It would be intresting to read what long term effects are.....
Love to rosella x
I hope shes improving......

Thank you
Another lady was telling me about a no carb diet since that helps feed the tumor so I'm going to pass this info on to her as well, guess they have to be on it forever but its worth it if it will help her.
Thank you all :)

Hi Donna,
This answers some questions about Prednisone. Hope it helps. :)
