So I posted a while back about my cat that has an open, ulcerated tumor on her belly that I have been treating now for over a month. I don't appear to be having good success with my treatments, as the tumor isn't healing as it should. I learned here that I can use castor oil on an open wound and its benefits. I also learned about turmeric and its benefits.
So here is what I've been doing, hopefully, someone can help me figure out why this is not working!
- Daily, I clean the wound using some warm water with one drop of dawn blue dish soap and a clean cloth to gently press up onto the wound to try to clean up the previous day's castor oil solution.
- I then spray some peroxide on the wound and let it bubble for a minute or two.
- I blot it with a clean paper towel and then spray it liberally with my homemade colloidal silver.
- I then mix about a tablespoon of castor oil with approximately 1/16th of a teaspoon of organic turmeric root powder.
- I apply the castor/turmeric mixture to a clean sterile wound pad that I've sprayed down with colloidal silver.
- I slip the pad over the wound on her belly and secure it with strips of vet wrap (Not tightly! ) around her body just enough to hold it in place and put her in a baby onesie.
It's been a month now, and there is still an infection that I can see on the surface of the tumor that is grayish/green/white in color. The tumor has a crevasse in the middle that I try to get the castor oil into. The surrounding edges of the tumor itself have small red sores that don't seem to be healing at all. I will say, that the tumor has grown a little bit in circumference since it burst open and since I've been treating it this way.
Can someone help me with this, or give me some advice on my treatment or how I SHOULD be treating this? I feel like there should be more clear evidence of healing by now. Thank you!
