Jeff, Cynthia and Zoe, Mount Hood, OR


1. camera - a cell phone camera is ok
2. Ruler or caliper
3. Bandages
4. E-Collar
5. If your pet has long hair, a shaver or hair removal cream If your pet has long and/or thick hair, then shave the surrounding area around the tumor, or you can use hair removal cream.


a) Measure the tumor with a ruler or a caliper, and then take several pictures with the measurement device included in the photo for base-line reference.

b) Open the box of Tumorid® and apply a generous amount of the dark-colored salve directly on top of the tumor. If you need to use your fingers to apply it, wash your hands thoroughly with/ warm soapy water before and after applying the salve.

c) Bandage the tumor SECURELY for 24 hours. Use the E-Collar so your pet is not be able to pull on the bandage or lick the area.

d) After 24 hours, remove the bandage. If you should see swelling or discoloration, then the salve is working, and you should apply the healing salve (butter color) the same way as you did the dark-colored salve. If you do not see swelling or discoloration, then please repeat steps b-c again.

The healing salve needs to be applied for six days. First two to three days, you might not see any significant improvement. Usually after the fourth day, you will notice the bandage getting wet with a small amount of blood, clear liquid, or sometimes cloudy liquid. That's all signs that the tumor is being removed layers by layers. When the bandage gets wet, please remove the bandage, and apply more healing salve and a new bandage so the wound won't get infected.

After several days, you MIGHT see a mass fall out from within the tumor; please see pictures below SOME OF THE UPCOMING PHOTOS MIGHT BE DISTURBING TO SOME VIEWERS.

(Note: not all pets will have this mass, so it's is okay if the tumor does not contain a mass).

The mass might look like a chicken heart or just some gray-colored liquid. Once the mass is out, you can stop the salve and let it heal over for a while.

If the tumor is reduced in size but has not completely disappeared, then you can repeat the steps a-d again.
