Re: Neoplasene for treating cancer in dogs

Anyone here from Canada? Neoplasene I gather is well known in the US but I'm
trying to find a vet who know's about it preferably in Nova Scotia.

Our 14 year old Black Lab has squamous cell carcinoma growths on her gums
that keep coming back after surgery. Don't want to put her through chemo
or radiation therapy.

I don't know anything about Neoplasene, can't help there.

Our GSD had oral squamous cell carcinoma, which was treated with surgery, radiation and chemo (she was 7.5 when diagnosed). The oncologist put her on Deramaxx because it has some cancer suppressing properties. You could mention this to your vet.

I hope that you can find something that helps keep your girl comfortable.
