Update On Tucker

Update on Tucker

We made the decision to stop Tucker’s kibble because, quite frankly, I have felt for a long time now that processed kibble may be contributing to cancer and other health problems in our animals.

We switched Tucker to homemade dog food made with fresh sweet potatoes, fresh carrots, fresh green beans, ground turkey and canned, unsalted chickpeas—and he has perked up BIG TIME!

We’re also giving him a little honey once a day with his meal. We’ve read about some of the potential benefits of honey, particularly its antimicrobial properties, so we’re hopeful it may be helpful if the nodules he has are fungal in nature.

The biggest thing we’ve noticed is that he hasn’t had any more vomiting episodes. His appetite has picked up tremendously. He will eat every ounce of the food I make in the crockpot—and probably more if I’d let him! 😂

He’s also so much more content now, and that makes my heart happy.

If this is cancer, then once we do his next scan, we’ll continue the course we’re on with him for as long as he has a good quality of life. When the time comes that his suffering becomes greater than his quality of life, we’ll make the hard decision we know we may eventually have to make.

But on the flip side, if what we’re doing now helps heal him, we will be OH SO HAPPY and praising God!

He knows just how much our furry creatures mean to us. ❤️🐾
