Should I Use Turmeric for Internal Tumors and Cough in Older Dog?

Posted by Janet (Las Vegas, Nevada ) on 10/10/2016

Took my dog to the vet Saturday and got xrayed. Has about 5 internal tumors and vet thinks we should put him to sleep but he doesn't act like he's in any kind of pain, still eats well and acts like usual self but does also have a bad dry cough that has been going on for months. He's about 15 yrs old. Was wondering if the turmeric would be okay to use on internal tumors and what could help his cough. I'm really desperate, any help would be really appreciated.

Yes, start mixing 1 teaspoon of organic turmeric into your dog's food each time you feed him. You can get it in bulk at Whole Foods, or an Indian Grocers (Indian - from India) which would be cheaper. Note that it'll take some time before you notice any differences, plus you'd probably want to get another xray in a month or so to confirm.
