Would acyclovir for cats work to treat feline tumors?

Six white medication tablets with indents in the center of each one

Hi Shannon,

Sorry to hear this about the tumors returning. I don’t think that technically Acyclovir for cats would help with this but I’m saying that because I don’t think it’s been researched. I suppose there’s no harm so you could go ahead but I don’t have the medical evidence to think that it would be beneficial. I found some posts in the research that suggest it may help with the discomfort that cancer brings but this is based on a single case only, it really means we have no evidence. The fact that it is an anti-viral drug, it should really not have any effect on a cancer.

My advice is to find a veterinary oncologist and go for at least an initial appointment. I would do this as soon as you can. They’ll give you a wealth of information even in the first appointment that would really educate you on your options. I STRONGLY recommend this.

Best of luck.
