Drugs to try and prevent tumors

Question
Hi Sandra,

I know you said the names before but i cant find the question listed anywhere. I spoke to my vet about them but only remembered it began with T (I think!!) She said i would have to find out the names before she could look into it and whether it was available in the UK. I want to try everything to try and stop Toffee getting anymore.

I mentioned the anti lump mix which people on the fancy-rats.co.uk website use. The link is http://www.rathealth.co.uk/articles/antilump.html

I did send an email to your crittercity email address. Did you get it? I will send Fudges photos later today

Thanks

Vicky

Hi Vicky


hmm....I never got it.  Go private for our follow up and give me your email and I will write to you this way it goes into my address book and wont be marked for spam, although I dont know if that is what is going on or not.

As for the tumor prevention, your thinking of Tamoxifen, which is for malignant tumors and lupron, which is for benign.  The tricky part is, which do you use?   What we do normally is biopsy the removed tumors and see if they are cancerous.  usually they are not, but if so, we will use the tamoxifen. It they are benign, lupron is used.

The lump mix? I am a skeptic about that...I NEED some real documented cases from a vet.
