Cat with large growth on whisker pad. Help!

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

My daughter’s cat (about 13 years old) has developed a large growth on his whisker pad, most whiskers are gone along with fur in the area of the growth.  He is okay other than the growth, eats/drinks and does not seem to be in pain.  She took him to the vet and they said it is not an abscess and they want to do a biopsy ($600) to find out what it is and if it is cancerous.  Do you know what this could be?  If she does do the biopsy and it is cancerous she will not be able to afford radiation, do you feel a biopsy is necessary?  They said if it is a non-cancerous growth/tumor they could not remove it because it would remove part of his face, plus I am sure that procedure would be expensive as well.

Do you have an advice????

Dog diagnosed with sarcoma. Desparately seeking advice

Friday, June 5th, 2009

I have a 9 year old shepherd rottie mix who was just diagnosed with sarcoma.

They removed an 11 oz tumor from his right side and found gristle type material on the inside.  The concern now is osteosarcoma.  He will have x-ray on Monday.  The tumor was in a sheath.

I’m desperately seeking advice, suggestions etc. on diet, meds anything at this point.  I’ve had him from birth and am not ready to lose him.

Thanks for any help you can give!

10 y/o Basset diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma. Supplement advice?

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Our 10 yr old basset has just been diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma, tumors on his prostate and bladder, both of which are inoperable. He is taking 6 mg daily of peroxicam.

We would like to add a supplment to his diet and would like to know if and what would work well with the medicine he is on.

Thank you.
