Has the prescription drug "Methotrexate" ever been used on dogs to treat breast cancer/tumors?
If so, what is the dosage and how successful is it?

The loyalty and comfort my beloved Scottie has given me while fight chronic illness is something I cannot repay her for....she was just diagnosed with a tumor and we are told its a matter of time now...this vaccine could be of help to her and if not her....the other dogs that have provided service to the disabled and lets not forget the public safety officals ( police and fire departments)...or even open doors for human cases of cancer as well...

Does anyone know how long it will take for this drug to be used by local veterinarians?

I had to put my dog down 9 years ago who was suffering with throat cancer. It was one of the worst days of my life. I am so thrilled about this new drug. I have cockers, who are notorious known for having skin cancer. I feed them the best of the best dog food (EVO), with daily servings of vitamins, oats, blueberries, yougart, and probiotics to all prevent cancer later.

Dog Lover - your comment is really ignorant. Please don't tell people you are from TX - you are making the rest of us look bad.
Without veterinarian research - there would be no vaccination for Parvo or Rabies, there would be no cure for heart worms and intestinal worms. There would be no spaying or neutering - resulting in an unimaginable amount of unwanted animals. Let's not forget the fleas and ticks that would be covering them all (spreading Lyme Disease in the process).
I am thrilled about this new development for dogs. I applaud veterinarian researchers everywhere!

Our dog is already advanced in cancer. To remove it would leave the dog paralyzed in the hind legs with no bowel control. The vet suggested chemotherapy and radiation therapy which would cost $1000's. Even in humans such treatments only postpone the inevitable. Would this new medicine cost more than a nice t-bone or daily steak until she dies?

since all new drugs of any type are necesarily extensively tested in animals and there proven safe and effactive before EVER being trialed in humans, I'd not worry about "wasted research". Also, lets think about all the dogs and cats that have dies in medical research, the result of drug testing. We owe the species a lot (and mice, rats, monkeys, rabbits, chimps, and horseshoe crabs!), so if they occasionally get the benefit of a drug that helps them and doesn't make the conversion to human use, them deserve it.
