Consideration on the Combined Use of Cordy and Palladia for Dogs with Mast Cell Tumors
My beloved dog has been diagnosed with a mast cell tumor and is currently taking a medication called Palladia. Recently, I have noticed a slight decrease in appetite.
I am unsure whether to continue the medication as it is.
Although it is commonly used for treating mast cell tumors, it remains a type of chemotherapy drug. These drugs and targeted therapies are meant to prevent the decrease of quality of life (QOL) caused by tumors. However, if these treatments result in decreased energy levels or appetite, it could further degrade QOL and potentially pose life-threatening risks.
Has the decrease in appetite been observed since starting Palladia?
If the amount of food intake is decreasing, it is possible that the levels of proteins in the body are lower than normal.
When the body lacks adequate protein, it can hinder the effective transport of medications, potentially exacerbating side effects.
Please check the amount of protein in the food currently being fed, and aim for a diet that is low in carbohydrates (specifically sugars) and high in protein, such as a low-carb, high-protein diet that limits nutrients for cancer cells.
If you have any questions regarding the diet, please feel free to contact us.
At the Cordy Laboratory, we are researching the interactions when combining the immune-modulating component Cordy with chemotherapy drugs like Palladia.
Unless there are issues with breathing at rest, severe heart conditions, or seizures (epileptic fits), it may be appropriate to provide supplements containing organic germanium.
Organic germanium is expected to alleviate pain and promote blood flow, which helps in the elimination of toxins from the body.
If your pet frequently experiences soft stools or constipation and you are concerned about their intestinal environment, consider giving them a supplement containing lactic acid bacteria. This can help stabilize their immune function and improve their gut health.
Our laboratory is conducting research on whether administering Cordy can modulate the immune system and if it can be effective against cancer.

“If your pet has an allergy to grains such as brown rice, Cordyceps cultured on adzuki beans or liquid medium would be a suitable alternative, as it poses no risk of triggering a grain allergy.”
