Treating Cancer in Cats and Dogs
Cancer is a disease that affects both humans and animals, and it can affect even the healthiest ones. The good news is that as with humans, there are now more treatment options available.
At Monte Vista Small Animal Hospital, we are dedicated to providing cancer treatment for pets and supporting their families. By working closely with veterinary oncologists and specialists, we ensure your pet receives the best care possible.
A cancer diagnosis in a pet can be scary, but our team is here to support you and your pet. Our veterinary oncology team will review your pet's medical history and diagnosis and meet with you to discuss the disease, the staging (which may require additional diagnostics), prognosis, and treatment options appropriate for your pet's unique needs.
Staging (Additional Diagnostics)
After a diagnosis of cancer, additional diagnostic testing can help to determine the extent of cancer in the body, which allows us to optimize treatment options and better predict prognosis.
At Monte Vista Small Animal Hospital, we offer in-house, state-of-the-art digital X-ray, endoscopy, and ultrasound services for the most accurate diagnosis and treatment possible.
Treatment Options at Monte Vista Small Animal Hospital
When staging is complete, our team of specialists will discuss all the appropriate treatment options.
Cancer can be treated by several different therapies or combinations of treatments including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies or palliative care when appropriate.
