Has anyone had any success with having a portion of a mouth tumor cut out. It is extending over his upper teeth and getting much harder to eat. It will be bleeding soon (again, as it did it at first). Will try almost making his food a liquid or is canned food better, making it very soft. HELP< HELP

Peg, I use to work at a Veteinary Hospital, and we had a case where there was a dog that had a tumor in its mouth, we did te surgery and it was taken out, there was a lot of bleeding. The dg recovered well, you don't want to let the tumor grown bigger to where you dog can not eat. If you only feed him liquid food and canned food he will eventually lose his teeth because he will not be gettng the right proteins for his teeth to stay healthly! ~Travis~ (aka vttrav)
