I'm so sorry - there isn't really anything I can recommend to help with a tumor at home. I'm surprised Karma has a tumor when she is so young - it certainly can happen but it's not very common. You may want to try seeing a vet if she hasn't been to one - an abscess or other benign growths could look similar. You could look into Care Credit (www.carecredit.com) or the link below for different ways to help with payment: https://www.avma.org/resources/pet-owners/yourvet/financial-assistance-veterinary-care-costs
