When I ask colleagues why they haven’t tried STELFONTA® yet, the most common answers are:⁠
⁠
🗣️ “I haven’t had the right case.”⁠
🗣️ “I don’t know enough about it yet.”⁠
⁠
So, I created this post to answer some of the most common questions and concerns I hear about this FDA-approved intratumoral treatment for mast cell tumors. 💉⁠
⁠
I’ve personally treated over 100 MCTs with STELFONTA®, and I can say with confidence it’s been a game-changer in many cases. 💜⁠
⁠
If you're ready to learn more, there’s a FREE RACE-approved CE available (4 modules, 1 hour each) to help you feel confident and competent when selecting and treating cases.⁠

Happy Thanksgiving from me and my little turkey! 🦃 ⁠
⁠
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday; I look forward to it every year because I love that it’s a dedicated time I can count on having a home-cooked meal and quality time with my boys and family.⁠
⁠
I hope you’re enjoying delicious food and a great day with your loved ones! ⁠
⁠
Do you have a favorite food at the Thanksgiving table?⁠
Mine would have to be the sweet potato casserole! 🍠⁠

And of course you! 🫶🏻 I’ve learned over the years that life is not one-sided; frustrating and great things can coexist at the same time, and you can still have an attitude of gratitude while walking through it. ⁠
⁠
Going into this holiday week, I’m reminded that life is just about moving forward to the best of your ability, not glorifying it or getting bogged down by it.⁠
⁠
Let me know one thing you’re grateful for in the comments. It doesn’t have to be major to be worthy of gratitude! 🧡⁠

It’s called Avmaquin™, and this oncologist is definitely a fan!⁠
⁠
Why? Because not all supplements are created equal, and when I find one that I truly love with a solid scientific backing, I will always shout it from the rooftops.⁠
⁠
I was amazed when I learned about the benefits of sulforaphane for our dogs. Even more so when I discovered an easy-to-administer supplement to help our pets reap the benefits.⁠
⁠
That’s where Avmaquin™ comes in, a sulforaphane-producing supplement formulated by .⁠
⁠
Sulforaphane is a type of antioxidant that behaves like the body’s internal defense team, neutralizing cancer-causing free radicals, which ultimately helps to prevent cell damage, and can contribute to reducing overall cancer risk, while aiding in our pets’ overall wellness.⁠
⁠⁠⁠
This supplement harnesses the benefits of natural ingredients I love, such as broccoli and moringa, to deliver powerful antioxidant benefits to your dog’s cellular health, making it an easy addition to your dog’s wellness kit.⁠
⁠⁠
Comment ‘BROCCOLI’ and I’ll DM you the link to buy them from their website.⁠ 🥦⁠
⁠
Do you have any questions, or have you added this supplement to your dog’s wellness kit?⁠ Let me know below!⁠

Stay strong out there. You know what’s coming; remember this time too shall pass. 💪🏻🫡⁠
⁠
P.S. Pet parents, please remember to keep candles and low-hanging decorations out of your pets’ reach. It’s also important to be extra cautious about picking up small toys and wrappings so curious pups don’t encounter choking hazards or gastrointestinal foreign bodies.⁠
⁠
Finally, please familiarize yourself with the toxic food list so holiday table scraps don’t lead to an emergency room visit.⁠
⁠
Cheers to a festive and safe holiday season! 🦃🎄🎉⁠

Let’s talk about chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs and why I’m no longer reaching for metronidazole. 💊⁠
⁠
As a veterinary oncologist for 20+ years, I’ve seen and know just how frustrating GI side effects can be for both pets and their people. (IYKYK)⁠
⁠
When I discovered Canalevia®-CA1, an FDA-approved antisecretory drug specifically designed for chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs, it quickly became a staple in my practice.⁠
⁠
🌿 It’s plant-based (sourced from the Croton lechleri tree sap in the Amazon rainforest)⁠
🚫 It’s not an antibiotic (hello, stewardship and avoiding resistance!)⁠
💡 It’s easy to give, just twice daily for three days⁠
✔️ And most importantly, it works.⁠
⁠
Now, it’s part of my standard just-in-case meds for canine chemotherapy patients, and I rarely use metronidazole anymore. ⁠
⁠
While every case is unique, I will always share what’s working for me and my patients to help elevate this profession and support you in the trenches.⁠
⁠
Have questions? Do you have this drug in your practice?⁠
Let’s chat in the comments. ⬇️⁠
