Nikky authored this book to offer valuable insights to pet owners facing the complexities of palliative and hospice care for their elderly and ailing pets. Serving as a guide for those new to these concepts or seeking a deeper understanding, the book draws from personal experience. Motivated by navigating hospice care for their first dog, the author initially relied on veterinary decisions but discovered numerous ways to enhance their pet's well-being at home.
This book shares the journey of Mikey, my beloved pet, and how I managed to extend his life comfortably and without pain while he battled skull bone cancer. We, as Mikey and I, chose a holistic and natural approach instead of conventional cancer treatments, fully aware that skull bone cancer is incurable. By incorporating supplements, herbs, quality nutrition, and minimal medication, we successfully slowed down the tumor's growth, allowing Mikey to enjoy a higher quality of life.
Regardless of the additional time it grants a terminally ill pet, any extension is precious, as long as it ensures their comfort and well-being. Our furry family members deserve the best care possible when they are unwell and facing a terminal illness, whether it's cancer or another condition.
