Helping Tripawds Live Their Best Life with Dr. Dujo22 Nov 202500:42:51

Tripawds Podcast Episode #132: In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mauricio Dujowich (aka: Dr. Dujo) — board-certified veterinary surgeon, certified canine rehab therapist, and founder of the Bone, Joint & Spine Center at The Veterinary Referral Center (VRCCO) in Bend, Oregon. 

Join us for a talk about what truly helps three-legged dogs and cats thrive.

Dr. Dujo explains why rehab matters, how pet parents can protect their Tripawd’s remaining limbs, and what groundbreaking surgeries like total hip replacement in amputee pets are making possible today.

Key Takeaways

  • Rehab is a game-changer for Tripawds recovering from surgery or managing long-term mobility.
  • Keep weight down and build muscle — the simplest and most powerful way to protect remaining limbs.
  • Supplements aren’t a cure-all; Omega-3s and Adequan are Dr. Dujo’s top evidence-supported choices.
  • Yes, amputee pets can be candidates for major orthopedic surgeries like total hip replacement.
  • Pet parent involvement is everything: activity control, safe recovery spaces, and consistent follow-through matter most.

Tripawds Podcast Episode #18: Tune in for an informative discussion with Dr. Barbara Biller, Veterinarian and Assistant Professor of Oncology at Colorado State University Animal Cancer Center The primary focus of Dr. Biller’s research is on the interactions between the anti-tumor immune response and metronomic chemotherapy.

During the study, it was Dr. Biller’s mission to learn more specifics on how to treat dogs using metronomics.

We hope to determine some of those factors.” Dr. Biller is also involved in a number of collaborative studies with investigators at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and the Garden State Cancer Center evaluating immunotherapies in dogs with lymphoma and brain tumors.

Three Legged AKC Champion Vizsla Cancer Survivor07 Aug 201100:31:10

Tripawds Podcast Episode #13: Meet Bart, the award winning three legged AKC champion! Tune in to hear Darcy Duval talk about her dog Bart, a 3-year osteosarcoma survivor and world-famous AKC show champion and master hunting dog who was the first Vizsla in history to have accomplished this title (start to finish) on 3 legs. Along with Bart we'll meet his long-time veterinarian, Dr. Abby Huggins, DVM, from Terrell Mill Animal Hospital in Marietta, Georgia, who discovered Bart's osteosarcoma in June, 2008. Dr. Huggins has worked with Bart since he was two months old. She graduated from Duke University in 1997 with a BS in marine biology and received her DVM from the Ohio State University in 2001, where she was inducted into Phi Zeta, the national verterinary honors society. Dr. Huggin's veterinary interests include soft tissue surgery, ophthalmology, and doing her part in promoting the human-animal bond. About Bart: In 2008, three year-old Bart was going along his daily life practicing for field trials, hunting and running up to 16 miles with his Mom Darcy. After a persistent limp wouldn't go away with R&R, Darcy took Bart to Dr. Huggins, his regular vet, who gave them the sad news that Bart had osteosarcoma growing in his scapula. Three years later, Bart is still in remission! Nothing slows Bart down and his accomplishments are many.

All About Integrative Veterinary Medicine with Dr Henry Pasternak30 Sep 202300:27:59

Tripawd Talk Radio Episode #120:

In this episode, we're talking all about integrative veterinary medicine. What is it? What treatments are used, and what conditions do they address? And, how can these alternatives to Western medicine help our three legged friends. Especially when it comes to a cancer diagnosis.

Dr Henry Pasternak answers all these questions, and more. Practicing integrative medicine for more than 34 years, Dr Paternak wrote the book on the subject in, "Healing Pets With Nature's Miracle Cures" which discusses in great detail how holistic and conventional medicine can work together effectively. 

We talk about how acupuncture helps dogs with arthritis, and the importance of nutrition and herbs to both heal and help prevent disease. With many Tripawds diagnosed with some form of cancer, we spend a lot of time discussing immunity. We discuss other holistic approaches including fecal transplants and ozone treatment, and more.

Whiskey and the MIMIC Study for Minimally Invasive Metastasectomy with Dr. Chris Thomson19 Mar 202300:41:00

Tripawd Talk Radio Episode #118:  What is the MIMIC study for Minimally Invasive Metastasectomy in Canines, and what does Whiskey have to do with it?

Today we're going to talk about Whiskey and lung mets. We have two guests to help us learn all about a clinical trial studying advancements in treatment for metastatic cancer in dogs.

Dr. Chris Thomson is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, who specializes in surgical oncology, minimally invasive surgery, and interventional radiology. He is also an active participant in clinical research with Ethos Discovery, with projects focusing on minimally invasive treatments for osteosarcoma and other cancers. And that's why we're excited to to talk with him today.

Dr Thomson is working on the MIMIC clinical study for Minimally Invasive Metastasectomy in Canines. That's a mouthful, but it means making advances in resection of lung metastases in dogs, with quicker recovery, some surprising results, AND more data toward finding curative treatments for metastatic cancers.

And that's Where Whiskey comes in. We recently profiled this canine cancer hero in the Tripawds News blog. She received treatment for lung mets from osteosarcoma in the MIMIC trials. So, we also have Whiskey's mom Eleni Merkh joining us to tell us how that went.

Benefits of Canine Rehab for Tripawds with Dr. Ana Esquivel of Ace of Paws20 Feb 202300:41:52

Tripawd Talk Radio Episode #117:  On this is episode we're excited to discuss one of our favorite topics: Rehab therapy for three legged pets. And we've got an expert with us help explain the benefits.

Dr Ana Esquivel is a practicing veterinarian who recognized her geriatric patients were in need of special attention beyond the typical drug therapy prescribed for their pain management. She studied Medical Acupuncture and became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist. She now operates ACE of Paws, the only dedicated Canine Rehab Clinic in Albequerque New Mexico. And, three of her patients have been recipients of our Tripawds Rehab grant, which will reimburse anyone who take their three legged dog or cat for rehab evaluation by a certified therapist.

Why is canine rehab so important, especially during amputation recovery? What treatments are best for Tripawds, and how do you find a good therapist? Dr Ana Esqivel helps us explain on this episode of Tripawd talk Radio.

Episode Video: TBD

Guest Bio: After practicing for over a decade in New Mexico, Dr. Ana Esquivel recognized that most of her patients were geriatric and in need of special attention. Because of this, Dr. Esquivel became more familiar with aging canines' physical needs and how to maintain mobility and a higher quality of life. Studying Medical Acupuncture for Veterinarians revealed that most of her patients could benefit from more than the prescribed drug therapy for their pain management. 

After helping her dog Samantha through a third knee surgery, Dr. E decided it was necessary to broaden her background to include integrative medicine.  By 2018 Dr. E had completed training through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute and added Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist to her credentials.

Dr. E and her husband John recognized the high demand for Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation in Albuquerque.  The two sprang into action to become business owners. They opened Albuquerque's only stand-alone Canine Rehabilitation Clinic, ACE of Paws.

Dr. Nicola Mason Discusses CAR iNKT Cell Therapy Clinical Trial for Dogs with Osteosarcoma Lung Mets06 Aug 202500:37:42

Tripawd Talk Radio 130: In this inspiring episode of Tripawd Talk, we’re joined by Dr. Nicola Mason, a leading veterinary immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania, to discuss her groundbreaking work in treating osteosarcoma in dogs.

Dr. Mason explains how immunotherapy — specifically CAR T-cell therapy — is showing promise for dogs with metastatic bone cancer. You'll learn about a brand-new CAR iNKT cell therapy clinical trial using off-the-shelf donor immune cells to help dogs fight lung metastases after amputation and chemotherapy.

We also talk about the importance of immune system “fitness,” what researchers have learned from past clinical trials, and why the courage of pet parents participating in these studies is helping to advance care for both dogs and children with osteosarcoma.

Whether you’re facing a recent diagnosis or simply want to stay informed about the future of canine cancer care, this episode offers hope, insight, and valuable next steps.
