The owner applied cream to the gum tumour for many months but this was ineffective. Now the dog is emaciated and cannot eat.

The gum tumour was very small last year. 

1.  Early removal of the gum tumour before it becomes cancerous could have prevented this big growth. 

2. Yearly dental and health check up would have spotted this gum tumour at an early non-cancerous stage.
