Huge difference from how he was a short while ago and couldn't walk!!! You can still see he doesn't have a ton of endurance.. but still thinks he's the same old Max!
Welcome to The Adventures of My Dog Max. This blog chronicles his his journey through inoperable brain tumor diagnosis,Cyber Knife radiation,conventional & alternative treatments, HBOT and Life Beyond. Max is my 18 year old, high-energy super-dog, who was diagnosed with 2 inoperable brain tumors 4/11. Cyberknife = non-invasive robot driven hi accuracy radiation treatment. HBOT = hyberbaric oxygen therapy. Hopefully this blog will help others! Please help spread the word!

Max 2 days after starting prednisone - May 2011
Going back a little in time... I wanted to document how Max has progressed/ declined, etc, prior to us doing Cyber Knife. Fortunate for him, I didn't torment him with any videos of him being unable to walk, being nauseous or his google eyes.. but he was pretty bad..
When Max was first diagnosed I didn't want to do anything intrusive or put him on chemo. We had already had a bad experience with that and our golden, so I opted for pallative care with prednisone. Max's eyes were circling like in a cartoon, and he had vertigo 2 days prior. His head was tilted and he couldn't walk in a straight line, but rather circled in tighter and tighter circles until he'd fall over.. like a bad game of dizzy bat. These videos were taken after 2 days on prednisone
