My 7 year old male fawn pug has recently been recently diagnosed with a grade 2 mast cell tumor, and aside from monitoring his skin, does anyone have any suggestions for prevention of others. Diet, supplements, any experiences, etc?

My Papillon has a very aggressive and inoperable mast cell tumor and I am using two things that have stopped the tumor growth totally.

POLY MVA, look it up online www.polymva.com.

Ellagic Acid/ Muscadine Grape liquid from www.raspex.com

Both are very powerful tumor shrinkers. He'll only take the POLY MVA in braunschweiger mixed with "Prowl" freeze dried cat food (for the nutrition) but he loves the mix. Good luck!

by: Sheree

I am so so very sad for your little guy. My 12 year old Pug, Cheetah, was also diagnosed with Mast Cell Tumor. I have her on K-9 Immunity Plus. It is essential to get his immune system working efficiently, this is what the K-9 Immunity Plus is for. My girl was diagnosed on Oct 13th, 2010, had it removed, then Dec 19th she had a recurrence so another surgical removal. Research Immune Modulation for your guy, it will help either way however you decide to treat him. I put Cheetah on Ziwi Peak food as it has only one ingredient that is a high histamine producer. Cheetah is doing well so far. I wish you both the very best, stay positive for him!

starstarstarstarstar 		Diet and Supplements for Mast Cell Tumor
by: Hazel (Site Editor)

Hi, I am so sorry to hear that your pug has mast cell tumor. Have you read our page on Dog Cancer Diet? There you can find some suggestions on the type of diet and supplements for dogs with cancer.

Have you switched your dog food to a natural organic one? If not, please do. It is important.

Then, as suggested by Laura in her comment, try fish oil and cottage cheese. When I was doing research on this "Budwig diet", I found a lot of data which suggests that this diet can be beneficial for cancer sufferers (both dogs and people). So give it a try.

Another supplement to try to CoQ10.

Research on mushrooms (shiitake, maitake, reishi) also shows anti-cancerous properties.

Hope this helps. Please keep us informed of how your pug is doing. I'll be thinking of you and your pug. Hang in there!

starstarstarstarstar 		Try Fish Oil and Cottage Cheese
by: Laura

Hi, really sorry to hear that your pug has mast cell tumor. My Lab Mix Sasha also has tumors in her lymph nodes and our vet prescribed prednisone. I wanted a more natural approach and started researching. I learned about fish oil and cottage cheese (so called "Bugwig diet") on this site and I also saw quite a few positive comments on various dog forums about this diet. I started Sasha on the diet and what can I say, it's been 6 weeks now since she was diagnosed and she is doing fine. Still too early to tell if the diet is effective but it's worth giving it a try.

Best of luck!
