Just an update, since a month and more has gone by. The dear boy has done well, it was to a point, impossible it seemed, where he was joyously trotting, playing in the cool water and acting as youth. The fall days quickly gave way to cool weather and shorter days. Recently, within the last 14 days, he came limping into the house; either he spooked a deer or it was the opposite (in later thinking). This time it was not as before, yet it was a setback and he knew it - he was very saddened and it reflected in his manner. I've taken him out for very brief exercises and then it became very noticeable at, Remembrance day, that he did not want to bear much weight, a few days later he got up and screeched with some pain - knowing what he has, this was one of those moments.
His local veterinarian was called and we discussed the signs and he eased the situation to a possible nerve reaction from a torque. Since, he has made some headway and today he had his three week visit to his holistic vet; and i attended this time. I don't have the charts, yet she did some very interesting deep alignment techniques to straiten him, and then acupuncture (laser) to what is called "lung" points (2 on his right leg/foot and 2 inside left ear) that bisect a major meridian that crosses the right shoulder where this cancer initiated. He was extremely happy and afterwords, moved well, yet the limp is still evident, especially when he gets up from a supine type positions of any great length of time (he stiffens up). His appetite is as good as ever and his raw diet, with some minor alterations (cool food), has continued.
Everyday is a lesson to remain in the now with him, not project in anticipation, enjoy him and give him what we can. He very much enjoys Being present with the family along with his environs, and he will let us know in his own time.

There is so much that can been seen in his eyes from the photo, he is truly a gift to treasure. Again, thank you.
