I have a friend who has an 8 year old english setter who recently had a tumor removed from his hind leg. The vet determined it was a Hemangiopericytoma tumor. From what I gather, this isn't a spreading type cancer, but recurrence in the same spot is very likely. The vet advised that if it grows back, he will have to see a specialist for removal as it will probably be more embedded in the muscle tissue. At that point, depending on how far it's imbedded, the leg might possibly have to be amputated. My friend was asking me about holistic modalities that might keep the tumor from coming back. We spoke about switching his food to something low in carbs, CBD oil, and liposomal vitamin c. I didn't mention a raw diet, but it might be something that they are open to trying. Can our pet experts here perhaps offer any advice? They are heartbroken over this and he is such a sweet dog. He lives to hunt birds and if anything can be done to possibly save his leg, I'm sure my friend would greatly appreciate the advice. Thank you.
