I found a stray a few weeks ago that possibly has cancer. She was emaciated and her eyes were infected. I took her to the vet and they gave her an antibiotic injection and an antibiotic ointment for her eyes. She had a tumor in the left side of her mouth that the vet believed was possibly cancer. I can't do the biopsy right now, but from what I have read most oral tumors in cats are malignant. The tumor is spreading and I am managing her pain with medacam injections and oral buprenex. I know that possible euthanasia is in the future, but want to give her a chance.
I have read a lot about people treating their cats cancer with colloidal silver and decided to give it a try. I gave her some this afternoon and she seemed to actually like it.
Does anyone have any experience treating cancer with colloidal silver? I don't want to get my hopes up too much and it not help. I really like this cat and want to make her as happy and comfortable as possible in what might be her last few weeks or months.

You will find two camps in a discussion about CS.  Those who swear it works, and those like me who say there are no good studies that show it has any beneficial effect outside a test tube.
