Yes it works !! Saved 2 of my boxers - my youngest now is on the prevention methodMy vet okay'd me on trying tagamet and benadryl. (my poor baby has 3 masses, two of which she has acquired in the past 5 days!) She said it was worth a shot.
has anyone tried this? Does it work? I've searched the internet for acutal picture proof and haven't found too much. I'm just curious!

Our vet prescribed Prednisone and we also used Benadryl for our boys mast cell. Ultimately we had to do chemo as well, but the Benadryl keeps the histamines from flaring up in the body.I have read that it works on mast cell tumors, but don't have any personal experience with it.
I hope it works for your baby Sophie, is that the kind of tumor she has?
We used Benedryl for our 8 year old boxers Mast cell tumor on his back leg the size of a golf ball. The vet suggested it to keep Mason comfy as we chose against surgery, to remove his leg, believing it would crush and figuratively kill him anyway. So we we’re told he had 6-8 weeks to live. After giving him Benedryl for about 8 months, and he was always sleepy, we stopped it so he could “live till he dies” instead of sleeping all of the time. Well, he woke up and began playing like he was a puppy again and never had any sign or symptom of decline. Till one day, 3 years later, at age 11- he was playing and running and jumping with his younger dog brother and suddenly stopped, had a seizure and died. We were so blessed to have those bonus 3 years! ❤💔❤I have read that it works on mast cell tumors, but don't have any personal experience with it. I hope it works for your baby Sophie, is that the kind of tumor she has?
