Your pet\u2019s routine wellness exam plays an important role against the development of disease. The chance to detect an illness as early as possible increases the odds that treatment will be effective and long-lasting. In the case of a pet cancer diagnosis, there\u2019s a great deal to consider and worry about. Unfortunately, pet cancer is not uncommon. The good news is that many types can be treated successfully. We are here to help you navigate the choppy waters so you can help your pet through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Everything Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pet cancer can cause obvious symptoms or none at all. Any abnormalities that we find during an exam are carefully evaluated and tested. Whether we detect a lump or bump<\/a>, swollen lymph nodes, or pain in the muscles or bones, we use diagnostics to do further testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Perspective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many pets respond to treatment and live normal, healthy lives. Advances in modern veterinary medicine help our companion animals live longer than ever before<\/a>. As life expectancy for pets grows, so, too, do cancer rates. In fact, one in four dogs may develop cancer at some point in their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing Wisely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Owners faced with a pet cancer diagnosis may feel a great deal of panic, fear, and stress. To reduce the negative impact of overwhelming emotions that come with this territory, we offer some general guidelines to help you find ways of coping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage pet owners to choose their websites carefully when conducting online research. The internet can create more anxiety when it comes to your unique pet\u2019s situation and possibly create obstacles to your pet\u2019s treatment plan. If you have any questions about your pet\u2019s health condition<\/a>, please call us for more information<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coping With Pet Cancer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of the many possible strategies to cope with pet cancer, we recommend having a strict routine in place. This will give order to your day and help your pet anticipate what\u2019s next. You might have appointments and medications to maintain, and keeping a schedule is the best way to stay on top of it all. If you and your pet can tolerate exercise and enrichment, be sure to make time every day for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
