Holistic Treatment Lengthened Buddha's Life

We would like to honor an awesome pet named Buddha and share how holistic treatment improved and lengthened his life.

Buddha was a Labrador mix who was adopted by our practice manager Becca. Buddha was rescued in Colorado in 2010. Becca shared that he was sweet but headstrong. In 2013, Buddha and his family moved to Oklahoma, when Becca started working for Dr. Roach. In August of 2020, Becca found a cancerous mass on Buddha's upper lip. She immediately brought Buddha to Dr. Roach. Dr. Roach started Buddha on holistic cancer therapies which included Young Living essential oils, CBD, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. Dr. Roach recommended other therapies and let Becca know that Buddha had a maximum of 3 months to live if more intensive treatment was not given. Buddha had an aggressive melanoma and lymphoma. Becca shared, "Due to his old age,I did not want him to spend his last few months in aggressive treatment, I just wanted to slow it down and keep him comfortable." To Becca's surprise, Buddah lived longer than anticipated without aggressive treatment thanks to Dr. Roach's Holistic treatment. In June of 2021, Buddha's lip tumor started to irritate him, so Dr. Roach removed it. Buddha had another 3 great months before he got too tired to go on. He lived to be 14.

Not only do we love to tell stories about pets who are still with us, but we also love to share stories of pets that have passed. Buddha will always live in our hearts and we are so grateful he had a great last year.
