Hi Tamar, Thanks for sharing this, and may your dog feel ever better!
I've been seeing lots of reports of cancers responding to antivirals, it's very, very encouraging. I am so glad to hear this.
PS This is not medical advice, just my experience: to strengthen their defenses, once in a while I give my dogs a bit of raw honey mixed with a little pollen and a splash of milk to get it to blend. They like it with their food. I give each about a tablespoon. Also strengthening for them are boiled eggs, especially the yolks.
If anyone is ever interested in moving beyond industrial dog food, I can recommend Rudi Edelati's book Barker's Grub: Easy, Wholesome Home-Cooking for Dogs. (If anyone grew up on a ranch in times before industrial kibble, they'll probably find this all cooking for dogs just... not too complicated. It turns out that it's pretty much what dogs always got, funky bits of meat and bones and peoples' leftovers. For the rest of us, it seems, it takes some Overton Window opening to consider cooking for dogs. Rudi Edelati's book includes some special recipes for dogs with various health issues, however, so for me it's a worthwhile book to keep in the kitchen.)
