Coming to town for 5 weeks and need vet recommendation. My dog has cancer and we amputated his leg. Need someone to administer chemo.

Thanks

We have a few good vets in HR..... however Columbia Gorge Vet in the Heights is my favorite.
Dave Stauffacher and his wife are the vets.
Dave is a kiter and my experience with them both has been fantastic.
Hopefully they can do the chemo for you - good luck.
Cool to see someone taking care of their dog like this!

i have some recent experience with older dogs
with serious medical issues,
i would highly, highly recommend trying cannabis CBD
and possibly high strength cannabis oil ( rick simpson oil )
the very least, drastically improves quality of life & pain managment
the most, cures cancer

I've used Tucker Road Vets for over thirty years.

Dogs, cats, spay, neuter, knee repair, and everything else. Good people.

Dave at Columbia Gorge Vet in the Heights is also an excellent surgeon. Best of luck to your old guy. Cancer sucks, Dogs Rule.

I agree with Kief.

A high CBD tincture was a huge comfort during our 14 year old lab's final month. He had the bone cancer, but he was just too old for options other than palliative care. His relief from pain and anxiety was obvious, quick, and a blessing.

It was called Chronic Tonic, and I bought it at Margie's.

Works for kiting aches and pains too, with almost no psychoactive effects. (It doesn't get you stoned)
