Hello. Turmeric is a mild anti-inflammatory that does seem to have some anti-tumor activity, but I would certainly not rely on just this. I would seek out the assistance of a veterinary oncologist who will be totally up to date on what the best course of treatment is for Patrick. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
