When his story was written, Blazer was in good health and back to playing with giant rubber toys for hours on end. He has since passed. KetoPet rescued Blazer after he was diagnosed with a Grade II Mast Cell Tumor.This kind of subcutaneous tumor can respond unpredictably to traditional canine cancer treatments. Thus, prognosis can vary significantly for dogs with this condition.
Blazer underwent PET/CT imaging and started on a ketogenic diet as soon as he arrived at the KetoPet sanctuary. After 60 days on the ketogenic diet, Blazer’s second PET/CT scan showed no evidence of disease. When his story was written, Blazer was in good health and back to playing with giant rubber toys for hours on end. He has since passed.
