Canine and Feline Gastrointestinal Carcinoma
Gastrointestinal carcinoma is an uncommon but serious gut cancer in dogs and cats; when it arises in the stomach it thickens the wall and leads to ulcers and infection. Early surgical removal offers the best chance, while advanced cases — especially rectal — carry a poor outlook.
Canine and Feline Metastatic Lung Tumor
Metastatic lung tumors are cancers that have spread to the lungs from a primary tumor elsewhere, such as mammary, bone, or oral melanoma. Signs resemble primary lung disease but cough is less common, and the outlook is generally poor.
Canine and Feline Primary Lung Tumor
A primary lung tumor arises in the lung tissue itself and is seen mainly in older dogs and cats, with signs much like pneumonia — cough, weight loss, and poor appetite. Surgical removal of the affected lobe is the preferred treatment, though long-term outlook is limited.
Canine and Feline Nasal Adenocarcinoma
Nasal adenocarcinoma is a destructive tumor of the nasal lining in dogs and cats, producing a bleeding, pus-tinged discharge and gradually destroying the normal nasal structures. There is no reliably curative treatment, and the prognosis is poor.
Canine and Feline Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Oral squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive, invasive tumor of the mouth lining in older dogs and cats, usually appearing as a firm, ulcerated white mass on the gums, tongue, or palate. Treatment options are limited and the prognosis is generally poor.
Canine and Feline Globe Prolapse (Eye Protrusion)
Globe prolapse occurs when the eye is forced out of the socket, most often from fighting or blunt trauma and especially in short-nosed breeds. Prompt replacement offers the best chance of saving the eye; badly damaged or infected globes may require surgical removal.
Optic Neuritis in Dogs and Cats
Optic neuritis is an inflammatory condition of the optic nerve that can cause sudden, often bilateral blindness in dogs and cats. The underlying cause is frequently unknown but may follow ocular trauma or infection, and prompt veterinary care is needed to protect vision.
Canine and Feline Glaucoma: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Glaucoma is raised pressure inside the eye of dogs and cats from blocked fluid drainage, damaging the retina and optic nerve and risking blindness. It is managed with pressure-lowering drugs and, sometimes, surgery.
Canine and Feline Cataract: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Cataract is clouding of the lens in dogs and cats—often in old age or from diabetes, glaucoma, or toxins—that blurs and can destroy vision. Medicines help early stages, but surgery is the main cure.
Canine and Feline Conjunctivitis: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva in dogs and cats from irritation, infection, allergy, or nearby disease, causing redness, discharge, and light sensitivity. Treatment controls infection and soothes the eye.
