A melanoma is a type of skin cancer. Cancer is the biggest killer of cats when it comes to diseases. The symptoms can be subtle, even hidden. A malignant melanoma can be aggressive and grow quickly, and can spread to other parts of the body.
They occur most commonly on ears and noses, the tumours themselves are black and can occur on the head area. They are often benign but can be malignant. Melanomas can appear small on the outside but internally be invasive.
These cancers are best treated with an internal and external support treatment.
We are traditionally treating feline skin cancers topically with an ointment of Elecampane, Golden Seal, Thuja, Tumeric, Wheat Grass and Maritime Pine, with the added Bach Flowers of Crab Apple, Walnut and Rescue Remedy, mixed into an ointment base.
We recommend the Internal Melanoma Support and Maritime Pine Bark be used in conjunction with the external ointment.
