I'm so sorry that Abby has been diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, without knowing what kind of cancer she has, I can't recommend any specific treatments. I see that you are in Las Vegas, and I found a couple of veterinary oncologists in your area. I've included links to their websites so you can contact them to get an appointment with Abby to see if there are any alternative treatments for her. Good luck, I hope this helps! http://www.westflamingo.com/oncologycancer.html http://www.diah.com/advanced-care/veterinary-cancer-treatments.html
