Does my KushyPet need
Surgery?

Performing surgery to physically remove as much of the cancer as possible is usually part of treatment whenever feasible.

The problem with this, is that when you cut into a tumor there is a high risk of the cancer cells releasing into the bloodstream and causing the cancer to potentially spread.

Surgery may be the only type of therapy that is recommended, or else it will be performed before or after chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Does my KushyPet need
Chemotherapy?

While chemotherapy is a blanket term for using chemical drugs to combat disease, it can be administered in several ways.

The majority of dogs treated with chemotherapy suffer from serious side effects, just as humans do. We just don’t know how much they are actually suffering, because they can’t speak to us. So it’s safe to say that any type of chemotherapy is going to be a horrible experience for your furry pet, just like it is for humans.

Dogs will experience some of these side effects during chemotherapy

Most dogs lose some of their fur. Your dog might also have a smaller appetite and experience temporary diarrhea or vomiting. Again, just like humans do. Bone marrow suppression is another worry with chemotherapy treatments because it can lead to anemia and/or increased risk of infection. Your veterinarian will keep track of your dog’s progress through regular examinations, blood work, and discussions with you regarding what you observe at home. They may make changes in the dosage or types of drugs that are used for treatment based on how your dog responds to them.

Does my KushyPet need
Radiation Therapy?

Depending upon the type of cancer and how it is affecting your dog, your vet may recommend radiation rather than chemotherapy.
“Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment—once it is injected, it goes all throughout the body, battling microscopic disease when it starts spreading to other locations. The inherent problem with all chemotherapy is that it does not exclusively kill the cancer cells, but it also kills good and beneficial cells the body needs to heal.

This is why the lifespan of the animal is not usually extended for very long, the chemo ends up killing them (just like with many humans) because their bodies can’t recover from the treatments, and the treatments are way too hard on their little body. And most of all, their quality of life will be terrible. Whole- or half-body radiation can be used to treat cancers that are not contained in one location, such as lymphoma.

Animals are given varying levels of sedation for radiation treatments, mainly to keep them still. There’s no direct pain from the radiation treatment itself, although some discomfort, skin problems or fatigue may be associated with its effects.

What the vet doesn’t tell you is that your dog is going to feel like absolute crap and they won’t be able to communicate this to you.

Dog/Cat Cancer Treatment Options

There are 3 most common forms of treatment for cancer in dogs:

Surgery, Chemotherapy & Radiation Therapy

The course of your dog’s/cat’s cancer treatment will be determined by your veterinarian or veterinary oncologist and will depend on the type of cancer as well as other factors specific to your dog. Your vet may recommend chemotherapy, radiation or surgery, or a combination of these dog/cat cancer treatments.

If symptoms relating to chemotherapy or radiation therapy cannot be treated with supplementary medicine, your veterinarian or veterinary oncologist may recommend discontinuing treatment. That means they are out of options regardless of how much money you want to spend. They have no other options, period.
