My Sweet Richy

I have a dog suffering from cancer. His name is RICHY and he is a very lovable dog. He is intelligent and calm.

When he was only 1 year old, he started showing less interest to have food, I realized that he has some difficulty breathing and started coughing at times.

As the days goes on his problem was becoming severe. He became weaker as the days passed. I finally took him to a veterinary doctor. He told me that lung cancer in dogs is growing around the world. My dog is suffering with a form of canine cancer which is in the lungs and there is a high probability of it spreading.

I was astonished by this news. I asked him the measures which can save my pet from this disease.

He provided me with some medicines and prescribed radiation treatment for him. Treatment is still continuing and until now the doctor has not stated that the cancer is in remission.

One thing which makes me happy is that he has become more active after the starting of radiation treatment.

I am still praying for my pet's survival.
