Diagnosis and Treatment of Pet Cancer in Los Angeles
It is quite common for pets to be diagnosed with cancer. The most common one is a mammary gland tumor in a female. It is possible to prevent the development of such pathology by neutering or spaying the pet, preferably before the first onset of puberty. Untimely surgery increases the risk of developing a malignant neoplasm.
A visual examination of your pet is not enough to make an accurate diagnosis. The type of neoplasm and stage of development can be determined by these diagnostic methods:
- ULTRASOUND.
- X-rays.
- Examination of tissues and cells.
- Blood tests.
These examinations are relevant regardless of the size of the animal. It is important to treat at an early stage - before metastases spread. Our professionals use oncology treatments such as:
- Surgery.
- Chemotherapy.
The type, stage and localization of the tumor process affects the choice of treatment. The oncologists at our veterinary hospital have extensive experience treating tumors of the skin, bones, mammary glands and internal organs of animals.
Have you discovered a lump in your pet? Don't try to treat your pet based on tips from friends or Google. In this case only medical care is relevant, and it must be urgent. Immediately after identifying the problem you should make an appointment with the veterinarian. This is the only way to keep your pet alive.
We want to draw your attention to the fact that all surgeries require a preliminary examination to assess the risk of anesthesia. The price of surgery listed in our price list does not include pre-operative blood work, supplies and medications.
