As already said, chemo in dogs is much gentler and better tolerated than in humans. It's not generally designed to be curative and so is given at a smaller dose. I'm sure there must be somewhere closer than Liverpool that can give chemo. I have personal experience of AMC Rotherham and it appears from the website that they have an oncology dept. http://amcreferrals.com/medicine/?id_row=oncology#oncology
I also know that some Vet Practices - mine included - are willing to administer chemo on site once it's been prescribed by a Referral Practice. It may be worth doing a bit of your own homework, asking Referral Practices what services they can offer and then approaching your Vet again for a referral.
Good luck with whatever you decide and remember whatever you decide is done with love x0 -
Hi thank you for your replies. My dh spoke to the vet today and the vet said he can't give a time line but it could be two weeks or three months before we will lose him. Vet said his behaviour will change . He has already started to bark more. Also he will go off his food and that's when it will be time to put him to sleep.
I still can't believe it. Apart from the increased in barking and his mouth. He looks well .Married 09/09/090
