Treatment of dog mammary tumors

There are two main methods of treatment for dog mammary tumors: conservative treatment and surgical treatment. It is recommended to take the dog to the pet hospital for examination to determine whether it is a malignant tumor or a benign tumor and the size of the tumor. If it is a malignant tumor, surgical removal is not recommended as it may still grow after removal. If the tumor is benign and relatively small, it can be controlled with conservative treatment with drugs. If the tumor is larger, surgical removal is required.
1. Conservative treatment
Conservative treatment mainly involves giving dogs oral anti-cancer drugs and chemotherapy to inhibit the spread of tumors, but the effect is not as good as surgical treatment. The best way to treat tumors is to remove them surgically to prevent them from spreading.
2. Surgical treatment
Surgical treatment mainly involves removing the mammary gland tumor after giving the dog general anesthesia. At the same time, chemotherapy can also be used to suppress tumors in the later stage. If the dog has not been neutered, it is recommended to perform it together with neutering surgery, which can effectively prevent the recurrence of mammary tumors. However, if the dog is older, there may be certain risks in anesthesia. At this time, you can communicate with the doctor and carry out conservative drug treatment.
Note: Breast tumors are mainly caused by hormonal imbalance in the body. If the owner does not have breeding requirements, it is recommended to take the dog to a pet hospital for sterilization surgery.
