| Search tips: Go to Google. Search for your pet's exact condition. Add additional keywords such as "feline," "canine," "clincial trials;" perhaps even your pet's breed. We found a lot of information by searching "clinical trials meningioma neoplasia." We played around with different combinations, adding "canine" and "Golden Retriever." Happy hunting for help. |

number of animal food and drug companies, as well as foundations and
veterinary medical schools, conduct clinical trials and research studies.
Here are some sites we found:

are websites devoted to specific types of cancer and/or breeds.
They may be able to offer veterinary or research contacts.
Search your pet's exact disease or breed on Google.

Another really good overview of causes and treatments of
neoplastic disease in dogs
Other
pets' stories -- we don't know these dogs or their owners, but
we found their websites while searching for information. Perhaps
they will prove helpful for your pet. We can't personally vouch
for the efficacy of any claims made.

Eat
the Apple and Then Some
A chatty and hopeful look at alternative approaches to diseases
affecting dogs and cats.
Innovations
Germany is considered a leader
in cancer based research -- both
traditional and alternative. This search engine allows you to search
key terms (lymphoma, tumor, etc.) to find articles on current
breakthroughs in medicine and other sciences.
The mega search engine for research. It can be intimidating, but
this is where you can find abstracts on the latest research. If you
don't know how to look up the full research, your vet will, so print out
what you can. This is how we found the neurosurgeon who did
Smedley's surgery. He helped develop the technique, and wrote it up
in the literature.
(no pun intended) surgery he performed on the same rare tumor
Smedley has. This resource is worth using, and this links you to
a good tutorial. Start with "searching through the search box."
Best part of this unexpected miracle -- the neurosurgeon practiced
in our city! If we could figure it out, so can you!
A really fascinating compendium of the latest reported breakthroughs
in disease research. Articles are arranged by disease category, so they
are easy to search. We liked the article about how
dogs appear to be able to sniff out cancer cells!
After all, we're in this battle together.
