Frequently asked questions about our veterinary oncology service

Some warning signs are lumps that increase in sizeThe most common symptoms include weight loss, weight loss, non-healing wounds, bleeding, persistent coughing, changes in appetite, recurrent vomiting, lameness or prolonged decay. However, many tumours do not produce symptoms in the early stages, so veterinary check-ups are key to early detection.

Depending on the case, this may include:

  • Cytology and biopsy

  • Ultrasound and digital radiography

  • TAC to assess extent and plan surgery

  • Full analytics

  • Specific tests according to organ affected
    The aim is to obtain an accurate diagnosis and appropriate staging in order to choose the best treatment.

No. In veterinary medicine, the priority focus is on the animal welfare. We adjust doses, drugs and protocols to minimise side effects. Many patients tolerate chemotherapy very well and maintain a good quality of life during treatment.

Depending on the type of tumour, options may include:

  • Oncological surgery

  • Chemotherapy

  • Immunomodulatory treatments

  • Pain management and palliative care
    At Benivet Benissa we design an individualised plan, always evaluating risks, benefits and prognosis.

The prognosis varies depending on the type of tumour, location, rapidity of growth and early detection. Some tumours are curable with surgery; others can be controlled for months or years with combined treatments. We assess each case with clarity and transparency, without raising false expectations.

Some keys are: maintaining good nutrition, controlling pain, ensuring adequate rest, monitoring changes in appetite and energy, following medication as prescribed and attending check-ups. The joint work between guardian and veterinarian is fundamental for the wellbeing of the oncology patient.
