I'm following the new pet protocol and this is his 6th day on it. I worked him up to 5 ml with dmso added. He gets nauseous, but doesn't throw up at that point. This morning I'm starting w/2.5 ml w/dmso. He ate about 3/4 of a 3.5 oz can of food.
1. Should I give him his insulin when using mms? He's only getting a fraction of his dose because he's not eating very much.
Also, last night I had to give him 1ml of Liqui-tinic (vitamin drops) because he hardly ate anything all day.
2. Is that ok as long as I keep it away from mms doses?
Thank you

You may want to reduce dosage until he does not experience any nausea.

If he is taking MMS hourly, then it is probably okay to administer his insulin on the half hour. Vitamins should be given one hour after the last MMS dose of the day.

Sad to say, I had to put him down. He stopped eating and even though I was syringe feeding him, it wasn't enough. I followed the protocol for animals to a "T", but after 1 week of dosing him hourly (likely several weeks in animal time) there was no improvement for the better and the tumor was still there. He was getting worse and I couldn't bear to see him like that anymore.
