with our LoLa and her mom Lisa 🐾
LoLa Scala, a 10-year-old Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) was living her best life (or that is what we thought) until 5/14/23 when we found a lump on her neck. She was immediately seen by her veterinary who did tests and the lab results showed Lymphoma (5/18/23). As LoLa’s mom, I had no idea what this meant. She saw the oncologist on 5/23/23 for consultation who did a Flow Cytometry IML. She confirmed it was multicentric lymphoma – StageII B.
My time was spent researching, talking to people through my network and learnings, and educating myself with as much information as I could to find the best solutions for LoLa. I wanted LoLa not only to beat the cancer, but live a healthy, high-quality life for many more years.
In the first month of diagnosis, I watched a Dog Cancer documentary where I learned a LOT about cancer, and how dogs get cancer. I had no idea dog food (kibble) could be a cause of cancer. I’ve been cooking LoLa’s food for most of her life, but she did get kibble her first year. Another revelation was the fact that vaccines can cause cancer and lower dog’s immune systems. There are only (4) vaccines needed: Rabies / Distempered / Adenovirus / Parvo! I believe I over-vaccinated LoLa which may have been a cause.
It was during this time that a friend of mine first mentioned Dr. Judy’s name. I listened to her on a podcast knew that I had to reach out. She and I have been working together since 7/18/23. Beyond the documentary, I found a great product through a nurse (friend of a friend), called Barkumin from India. There are many other supplemental products, including Mistletoe shots, that have become part of LoLa’s “survival plan” thanks to Dr. Judy.
LoLa is now 12 1/5 years old. Her diet consists of cooked proteins (salmon, pork chop, lamb); smoked lamb lung (from a local provider); crushed blueberries; organic pumpkin puree; crushed
sesame seeds; a teaspoon of mixture of supplementals, organic mushroom broth for mixture; and pellets sprinkled on to her food. She also gets Four Marvels Si Miao San pills twice a day along with Mistletoe shots twice a week. Her dog treats consist of animal organs, dehydrated fish, lamb, or pork. She gets No kibble! NO carbohydrates! No vaccines! She goes on walks twice a day.
I truly believe that Dr. Judy has prolonged LoLa’s life through her diet/nutrition guidance including the Mistletoe shots. Thank you, Dr. Judy!
