Hi all - looking for some advice.
My old lady Moomin has developed a tumor on her head, we went to the vets this afternoon and they took a sample, and sadly it's come back as malignant... Due to her age (2 years & 4 weeks), the placement, and the fact that it's malignant, they don't recommend surgery (I agree). She's completely herself at the moment which is a relief but I am really gutted about this, I hate that they're so prone to lumps and bumps!
We did get some metacam and baytril, as the vet noticed her breathing is slightly heavier than normal and to try and help if there's any pain or inflammation, but does anyone have any advice to help slow down the growth of the tumor? I remember seeing something about sugar feeding cancers so will be cutting that out, but if there's anything else anyone can think of?
I have tried to add a pic of her, but I'm not super familiar with posting here so my apologies if it hasn't added!
thanks in advance
