I talked to the Lab's owner, she has him under the care of an holistic vet for all of his life. Part of this dog's supplement regime has always included CS (the amount was even increased by the vet at the first signs of the lipomas) along with multiple proprietary supplements blended by the vet's office pharmacy. She also feeds a raw diet as reccomended by the vet.
In all cases of pet lipomas, only surgery will work, especially evident in this dog's case.
Too bad this dog (and many others) have to suffer with debilitating lipomas for far too long until surgery was performed.b
