Do you treat feline tumors with an anti-inflammatory drug?

Answer by  Cheri99 (187)

Anti-inflammatory medications don't treat the tumor itself, they are to treat the pain. Feline tumors and cancers can be quite painful, and an immediate pain control management plan is neccesary.

Most of the time either chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation is used. It depends on how big the tumor is and where it is on the cat's body.

It depends on the type of tumor and what the tumor is affecting. If you doubt the legitimacy of the prescription, get a second opinion.
