80. Finding a Lump on Your Dog with Dr. PJ Broadfoot

Lumps, bumps, or tumors are often a normal part of aging for dogs, so it can be difficult to know when one is serious. In this episode of Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino, we’re joined by Dr. PJ Broadfoot, integrative veterinarian of 40 years, who advocates for natural medicine, and believes if you give the body the right tools, it can take care of the bulk of problems by itself. Angela and Dr. Broadfoot share their perspective on the variety of holistic remedies that can help dogs experience pain relief, longer life, and often better health outcomes than conventional treatments. They also discuss what to do if you find a lump, bump or tumor on your dog, and some common signs that indicate a tumor might need to be removed. Episode Recap:We have to advocate for our pets, because vets don’t always know what’s best Natural medicines can do everything pharmaceuticals can do and more Pharmaceuticals and conventional treatments sometimes make conditions worse What causes lumps, bumps and tumors on dogsThe immune system does not recognize cancers Cannabis for post-surgery pain relief, rather than opioidsSigns that a dog tumor might need to be removed Weighing the risks of anesthesia, biopsy and surgery for dogsAs pet parents, we must be informed and advocate for our petsConventional treatment of tumors is not the only optionNatural remedies like medicinal mushrooms, deer antler velvet for dogsUse code RADIO for 15% off your first order at https://cbddoghealth.comUse code MYCO10 for 10% off your order of https://mycodog.comNote: Like all discount codes, they don't last furever!Episode Resources:Broadfoot Veterinary ClinicThymus extract & Colostrum for Dogs with Dr. PJ BroadfootCBD for lumps, bumps and tumors in dogsCBD & Mushrooms for cancer in dogsHave a question about your pet that you want answered on the podcast?
