My senior dog has a nose tumor. What are the best care options?

Question

Hi I'm from south korea. I have a dog, He is 12 years old. He has nose tumor. In Korea, it is difficult to find a cure. So I visited here via Google search. He is healthy except for his nose. But, The tumor is increasingly covering the nose. If the tumor grows larger, it will be harder to breathe. What should I do? My heart is so sore. He is my family. Any advice, please.(ex. Feed Herbal Dried Powder, Do not give people food. etc.) I beg you. I wait for. Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Male | neutered | 11 years and 8 months old | 7.7 lbs

I am sorry, but there is no cure for cancer. Small tumors can be removed surgically and then undergo chemotherapy or radiation therapy depending on the type of tumor and if clean margins were made during surgery. If this is not an option for Hundoll, then he would be considered for hospice-type care. I would recommend that you have have him evaluated by a vet for pain. You can feed him whatever he wants at this point. Acupuncture may help with some of the pain, but it won't be able to stop the growth of the tumor. You may be able to find a vet in your area that uses herbal remedies, but they need to be prescribed after careful examination of the dog.
