My little piggy Milo was diagnosed with a bladder tumour back in October last year which was absolutely devastating. He has been on 0.1ml of loxicom once a day since and has been great, you wouldn't think there was a thing wrong with him which I have been so pleased about. Anyway we are taking him for an ultrasound every 3 months to keep a check on it and so yesterday he went for his scan and surprisingly it had shrunk! It was 3.99mm back in October and is now 2.04mm! The vet said it was incredible and his bladder looks fantastic. I was so happy and excited at the time that I forgot to ask them if the loxicom was just working well and was reducing it or is it some kind of miracle? Can tumours shrink? Not that I care why, I'm just so glad its not any bigger or getting worse but it would be good to know.
I have attached the scan photos of the one from back in October and the one from yesterday hope they are clear enough to see.2) Oct 13.webp 6) 7 Feb 14.webp
 
Loxicom is an anti-inflammatory so I guess any inflammation that was caused by the tumour can decrease.
