As indicated in the other thread your best chance is to follow up with local radiation to clean up the margins. Radiation has the best outcome against Stage I-II MCTs. Ask your Vet about it, and possibly ask for a referral.

Start supplementing the diet with fish oil 2000-4000 mg 2X daily. If the stool becomes soft then cut back on the dosage a little. Most puppies like the taste of fish oil gel caps. Fish oil as an anti-inflamatory also helps with joint problems.

Another supplement you might wish to purchase is Artemisinin. It like the Omega-3s in the fish oil will act as an anti-angiogenic agent which in effect will slow down metastasis.

If the MCT spreads it could reoccur locally or in the spleen, liver, or GI tract- as the major target organs. Symptoms may include skin rash and edema, digestive upsets, loss of weight, and lethargy.

Treatment with Vincristine, and Prednisone will give short remissions. Acid blockers to protect against the ulcerations of the stomach caused by histamine release should be used. Also anti-histamines have been shown to help give symptom relief to the MCT dog, and help slow down metastasis.
