· Categoría: Pet care

Breast cancer is one of the 3 most common tumors in pets.It usually appears in females that have not been sterilized or the intervention has been done very late.

To prevent, we need to sterilize above all before the first cell, since less than 0.05% of sterilized females have developed it a posteriori.If it is performed after the second cel, this percentage can be elevated to 25%.

SYMPTOMS

The most common symptoms are:

  • The appearance of bulbs in the breasts, especially in the lower.
    Inflammation
    secretion
    ulceration of the skin
    Loss of appetite
    Cancellation

Most affected pets have no more symptoms than the appearance of bults, but in some serious cases it can affect the lymph nodes or even the lungs.

TREATMENT

If we see a bulk we must go to the veterinarian quickly to discard that it is a tumor.The chances of healing are much higher at the beginning of their appearance.

The most common treatment is surgery.Depends on the case they will be removed individually or a breast chain in more serious cases.

For all this, the fight against breast cancer is of everyone.Humans and pets.It is a very dangerous tumor but with a early diagnosis there are many chances of healing.
