Commonly Asked Questions
Oncology in veterinary medicine focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer in pets. Just like in humans, cancer can affect various organs and tissues in pets, leading to different symptoms and health challenges. Veterinary oncologists use advanced diagnostic tools such as imaging and biopsy to identify cancers and determine the best course of treatment. Treatments may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these methods. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and compassionate approach to managing your pet’s cancer and improving their quality of life.
Oncology surgery involves the removal of tumors or affected tissues to help treat or manage cancer. Before the surgery, your pet will undergo a thorough examination and diagnostic tests to determine the best surgical approach. The procedure typically involves general anesthesia, and our team will closely monitor your pet throughout the operation to ensure their safety. After the surgery, your pet will need a recovery period, during which we will provide pain management and follow-up care. We will discuss the expected recovery time, potential side effects, and any additional treatments that may be needed.
Post-surgery care is crucial for your pet’s recovery and overall well-being. After oncology surgery, you should follow these guidelines:
Ensure your pet rests and avoids vigorous activity or rough play to support healing.
Administer any prescribed medications, such as pain relievers or antibiotics, according to the instructions.
Monitor the surgical site for signs of infection, swelling, or unusual discharge, and contact us if you have concerns.
Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your pet’s progress and adjust any ongoing treatment plans.
Our veterinary team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions tailored to your pet’s specific needs and will be available to answer any questions or address any issues that arise during their recovery.
