What would be the dosage of colloidal silver for a 8-10lbs cat?
How many times a day?

I have a bottle of 22 ppm.

She has breast cancer and an infectuous abscess.

Thank you

Patricia

The only valid medical use for silver preparations was topical use
on wounds, until it was replaced by antibiotics. It's useless to
take internally. About all you're likely to accomplish by dosing her
with it is turn her skin permanently bluish-gray with silver deposits.

None.

Throw it away along with the book that said you should use it on a cat.

Your cat needs to be seen by vet *immediately*. Mammary gland tumors *must*
be removed *ASAP* because they have a high rate of metastasis to other
organs. You should remove all four glands of the affected chain (radical
mastectomy).

Please do not delay treatment another moment.

She is in the terminal phase.

She had a masectomy, but the tumors came back at the same place - no
spreading otherwere.

She is at the vet right now, one of her tumor has a running abscess.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

She's very lucky - 70%-80% of cats with MGTs have metastases to several
organs. If there's no evidence of metastasis, I would seriously consider
another surgery. Did your vet remove all four glands on the affected chain
as well as the inguinal lymph node during the first surgery?

The most important prognostic factor that affects recurrence and survival
times is the size of the tumor. MGT is one of reasons why I recommend three
or ideally, quarterly vet exams for older cats - especially females. Early
diagnosis and treatment can mean the difference between surviving 3-4 months
or 3-4 years after detection.

Best of luck,

Phil
