New Born Pup
I posted last week about Harry Haggis, who had a mammary lump which was removed a few days ago.
The results have come back from the vet and it's carcinoma. They reckon they got all of it, but it's impossible to tell if the cells have already spread or not. They've said that should more lumps appear they would be reluctant to operate, but that they can give drugs and that the piggy can live with a decent quality of life for quite a while.
At the moment I'm upset, but I'm trying to think practically. I've never encountered cancer in a piggy before, and I'd really appreciate any advice or ideas people have on how best to keep him well. Are there any foods, etc that I should avoid giving him, or should definitely give him to boost his immunity? Any experiences people have of this situation would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
