It was thought that this could be why the white blood cell count was lowish. The two vets at the clinic who examined the cells independently of each other, felt the large hard mass in her mouth\u00a0could be sarcoma.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I felt devastated.<\/p>\n<p>I was given antibiotics and anti inflammatory tablets for Rita and told to return when the tablets were gone, in 10 days time.<\/p>\n<p>I gave Rita the tablets prescribed by the veterinary clinic but I also gave Rita Tumeric every day with her food, twice a day and I also steeped sour sop leaves and put the water in her food once a day.<\/p>\n<p>I returned to the vet last week, and this time I requested and\u00a0saw the chief vet at that clinic.\u00a0The large hard mass in her mouth had gone.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know whether this was a large abscess or anything like sarcoma but Rita is full of energy and a very happy dog again.<\/p>\n<p>I still put tumeric in her meals and plan to, at least once a week, give her and my other dogs, sour sop juice from sour sop steeped leaves. I have a sour sop tree on my property.<\/p>\n<p>And I will check Rita&#8217;s mouth every week for the next few weeks and hope and pray that whatever was there before does not return.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com\/turmeric-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Excellent article<\/a> This is worth a read, about dogs and tumeric and its possible benefits.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; In the above pix. is Ch.
