One of the major reasons leading to dog deaths is Canine tumors. Dogs are hereditarily
predisposed to various types of tumors and thus knowing your dogs breeding history might
help you understand and rectify the disease early. Similar to human beings, dog brain
tumor emerges in the brain tissue, brain nerves, meninges, pituitary or pineal glands and
the outer skull. Some of the primary Canine tumors include adenocarcinoma, meningiomas,
papilloma and gliomas. Your dog may also contact secondary canine brain tumors like
mammary carcinoma or melanoma that are said to be metastatic in nature. If you feel that
your dog is keeping unwell, there are chances that he may be affected with tumor. If that is
the case, you may consider going for best possible treatment available.
Radiation therapy, surgery and chemotherapy are some of the treatment choices for Canine
tumors. In some cases, the disease is cured using palliative therapy. Surgery is least
considered for treating dog brain tumors. Brain tissues fail to regenerate themselves and
removing significant brain parts could be highly fatal. If the canine tumor is really
obnoxious, surgery can be done to compose the brain healthily.
Tumors that arise in brain stem are difficult in rectifying and curing. Meningiomas tumor
occurs around the brain surface and hence can be easily eliminated. Gliomas tumor arises
deep in brain nerves and takes time to get cured. Radiation therapy is the safest method of
curing Canine tumors. Many a times, vets may consider combining radiation therapy and
surgery to get effective results.
Radiotherapy suspends the canine tumor growth. The size and range of the tumor decided
the dose of performing radiation. Usually, mild doses are given. Moreover, the dog needs to
be extremely healthy to withstand the anesthesia that is injected before any surgery or
radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is another treatment but not very successful among dogs as
different canine breeds have different reactions of drugs. To treat gliomas, alkalizing agents
such as carmustine, lomustine and temezolomide are used.
The pain and inflammation in the dogs is alleviated by palliative therapy. To ease the
disease, a drug called corticosteroids is injected in the animals body. It helps in reducing
the swelling and lowers the pressure built because of tumor. Phenobarbital or potassium
bromides are anti-seizure drugs that help the dogs to survive the treatment. One cannot
diagnose all Canine tumors early but can be completely cured if apt treatment is given when
the disease is identified.
Get your dog checked on a routine basis to avoid major diseases. If you feel that your dog
is not behaving normally or is not eating properly, you may consider going to vet and
getting it diagnosed properly. There can be other issues apart from cancer that need serious
screening and examination before treatment can start. Thus, discuss with the vet about the
symptoms and they will help you.

cancer, the vet will impose a treatment course and prescribe required medication.
Additionally, you can improve the immune system of the animal by providing him with good
organic food, lots of water, exercising daily and most essentially, making him feel loved and
attended. However, if the cancer has spread too widely, putting the dog to sleep might be
the only option. But if the vet is hopeful about recovery, you can make sure that it is
comfortable at all times.

vulnerability deteriorated the quality life of the pet and takes time for recovery.
In case of pets, if nothing can be done to cure the disease, people consider the option of
euthanasia. This is done because the condition of the pet worsens. Pet Cancers rise with
age. Different breeds of animals notice different kinds of cancers. During the growth stage,
you may find breast cancer, ovarian cancer or testicular cancer. Several methods like blood
test, biopsy samples and X-rays are used to rectify Pet Cancer.
Skin tumor, breast cancer, testicular cancer, lymphoma, abdominal cancers are some of the
cancers noticed among pets. Depending on the type of cancer, different treatment options
will be considered for curing the disease. Modern medicines have led to tremendous positive
results in curing any type of cancer. Surgical treatments, chemo and radio therapy help in
dealing with chronic Pet Cancers. However, you cannot only rely on medicines and these
treatment options. Chemotherapy and radiation are an important part of the treatment
process when it is about cancer in any part of the pets body. You need to keep the pet in
clean and hygienic surroundings as the immune system is weak and they can get ill very
quickly.
