Marion and Andrew wrote to us to tell us about their best friend Berkley, who has just become a tripawd. Berkley’s Momma was really worried about him, and not sure she had made the right decision about amputation.

Berkley is my best pal in this world and I love him so much and I just want to do everything I can to help him be happy.

Marion wasn’t sure about how to help Berkley get around, sit down, and manage with a missing back leg. But you know, we dogs are smarter than you humans give us credit for! We have all the get-go that we need to recover and hop around after a surgery like this, all you humans have to do is be patient, and watch us amaze you!

Later, Marion wrote to tell us:

Today, Berkley kind of layed down himself, I coaxed him somewhat and encouraged him to lean on me with his back leg and he just layed down. I was so happy. He’s been circling like you said Jerry did and just can’t figure it out, but today was a huge step for us.

See, I told you we’re awesome!

Berkley’s Mom told us that instead of chemo, she will try a promising new holistic cancer treatment called Cantron, which she’ll tell you about in a minute.

But meanwhile, I hope I get to meet Berkley real soon, he looks like a very cool dawg!

The Mom of my new friend Berkley wanted to let you know about an alternative therapy she is choosing to treat his illness. So today, Marion is our newest Guest Blogger!

Now, my Mom and Dad want to throw in that legal talk here, that says they don’t endorse any particular drug therapy, but are merely presenting the opinions expressed by a Tripawds reader, about alternative therapies for canine cancer. Explore at your own discretion, and be sure to consult with your own health provider about the best course of action for your pup.

And now . . .
