What Can I Give My Dog with Bladder Cancer? | Dr. Lauren Barrow #226 - a podcast by James Jacobson

Today’s Listener Line call is from Gloria, whose dog has transitional cell carcinoma (a common form of bladder cancer). Piroxicam is a common drug used in bladder cancer because it reduces inflammation and has an anti-cancer effect.
But is there something else Gloria can do to save her dog? Dr. Lauren Barrow weighs in with advice on how to think about bladder cancer, what other drugs might be helpful, and general advice about diet and supplements.Links Mentioned in Today’s Show:
