My dog, Anakin, an 11 year old Border Collie, was diagnosed with cancer in October. We have been treating him, but, last week we got the news that there is nothing left for us to do. The vet said we might have a little over a month left with him. He is having some trouble eating. We have changed him from hard food to soft, but we are looking for good, healthy alternatives to give him as Treats. It needs to be really easy to eat, he has trouble chewing. We would also like some advise on foods we can give him with fiber. He is having some trouble with his bowels. Any help or advise, or if u could just send up a little prayer for us, would be appreciated.

So sorry to hear about your boy. My dog loves marmite added to a little warm water

So sorry to hear this. I'll have a look around for some peanut butter type chewy biscuits. I have a recipe... off to look now BRB

Livercake is also a favourite. Horrendous to make, smells vile and makes me vomit. See if you can buy some online

Am so so sorry - one of my old dogs had cancer of the bowel....she had trouble going to the loo, we used to give her liquid parrafin mixed with her food - to try and make it less painful.

I am sorry - not nice to watch someone suffering, i wish you both gentle days .

((((Hugs))))) xxxxx

Thanks again eberyome for all the kind words. This has been the hardezt thing we've ever been through. We are unable to have children of our own and we got Anakin just after we got married. He truly feels like my son! I just want to make sure we give him the best we can.
