NFL and college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit, a self-described diehard Cincinnati Reds fan from Centerville, Ohio, tweeted Monday night that his dog, Ben, is struggling with his health as he battles cancer.
Herbstreit has taken Ben with him on the road as they’ve traveled to many football games.
“I’ve had so many people asking me about Ben that I wanted to let you know Ben had a 2nd chemo injection on October 23rd and from that day has been getting worse and worse,” Herbstreit tweeted. “He has lost use of his back legs, almost like they’re paralyzed. He can barely walk. He hasn’t eaten in 3 days. I’m currently in Pennsylvania with a holistic Dr who is administering a 3 day Vitamin C IV hoping it will flush the toxics from his body and give him a chance. The next 24-48 hours will tell us if he has a chance or not. I’m so thankful for ALL the love so many have shown him over the last couple years. One of the hardest things I’ve gone through in my life. Ben is my best friend and companion. I love him with all of my heart. If you’re a spiritual person I’d love for you to pray for my boy. He’s currently in an ER hospital overnight and I’m picking him up tomorrow for another round of Vitamin C. Please pray for Ben and hope he pulls out of it.”
